Only seven acts on the bill, padded out with an ill. song and six reels of pic- tures. Two two-reel subjects and two single reelers were shown! By the time that the first act ap- peared at 8.20 the house was fairly well filled. It was mighty cold on the street and the biting wind undoubtedly drove in quite a number. There were a few empty seats in the rear of the orchestra and balcony, with the gallery almost entirely empty. The boxes held ca- pacity. Inside the house it was very cold above the lower floor and the audi- ence for the most part sat in their seats as though frozen. La Belle Annita (New Acts) opened the show. It is a combination comedy juggling and posing act. The comedian gets the act over. Browning and Dean with blackface comedy comprising talk and parodies were on following and passed fairly well. James J. Morrison and Co. (New Acts) presented "The Cross Roads," a long drawn out protean sermon against drink. In the spot next to closing the real hit of the show appeared in the Morin Sisters, Blanche Parquette and Co. (New Acts) Trebor's Seals closed.
