Boston   Keith's   Oct. 25, 1920
Kinograms & Topics of the Day 13. Min. Good
Margaret Stewart & Co. in "An Artistic Treat" 6. min. F.S. Spec.
Posing act with a routine of exceptional subjects nicely staged. Appreciated but a quiet opener.
Dave Roth: 14 min. in 1
Did very well in this spot.
Baroness De Hollub: 19 min. F.S.
Harriett Lorraine assisted by Harry Crawford in a comedy skit with a little singing. Got lots of laughs and closed to a good hand.
Flo Lewis: 10 min in 1
This act moved up from no. 6 spot and with number of objectional lines and actions removed got by, at least without offending. The Act was evidently built for the edification of friends and relatives and meant absolutely nothing on our bill.
Muldoon, Franklin and Rice: 15 min F.S. Spec.
A very good dancing act, with a little singing by one of the company. Went very big.
Mrs. & Mrs. Jimmie Barry: 20. min in 1
Although this sketch "The Burglar" has been here a number of times, it seemed to please as well as ever and closed to a good hand.
Corinne Tilton Revue: 34 min F.S. & 1 Spec.
Miss. Tilton has an exceptional cast in her revue, the girls being very much above the average in their ensemble work. Beautifully staged and was about as satisfying a revue as we have played. Closed to a big hand
Bob Hall: 22 min in 1
This extemporaneous comedian went over very big at the night show.
LaZier Worth Co. 6 min F.S.
A very good hand balancing act.
Remarks: The opening and closing acts will change places for the rest of week which will help the numbers.
Cuts:
Flo Lewis
Please eliminate the lines "My God is that my shadow" "It's not from him", reference to Harry Cooper and all talk and business relative to cracks in the wall of dressing room and property man looking in. Also Eliminate the very vulgar "Shimmy" dance by your colored assistant.
