Boston    Keith's    Nov 1. 1920
Kinograms & Topics of the Day   Good
Nolan & Nolan; 13.min in 1
Good Comedy juggling with lady assistant. Made a nice opening act.
Rolls & Royce; 10 min in 1
This boy and girl are exceptional dancers and went over very well.
The Rozellas: 15 min in 1
A novelty musical act with some comedy by the male member of the team, got quite a few laughs and seemed to please
Whiting and Burt; 24 min full stage spec.
This act is a long drawn out affair with altogether too much talking. Whiting & Curt's own songs got over pretty well but the production as a whole was unsatisfactory.
Walter Weems; 17.min in 1
Held this spot nicely and closed to a good hand.
Laura Pierpont & Co. 23 min in 3 spec.
This sketch is rather small timey and with exception of Miss Pierpont's Character work did not seem to interest Closed to a fair hand.
Ruth Roye: 13 min in 1
A big singing hit.
Lamy Bros; 8.min full stage
Very good casting act. Closed the show well.
Cuts
Walter Weems, Please eliminate the "Spoiled Child" gag also reference to "Hearst" and the word "Cripple"
Laura Pierpont, Please eliminate the word "Hell" from your act.
Ruth Roye, Please eliminate the word "God" from your act.
Whiting & Burt, Please have your man modify the "Nance" character.
