PHILADELPHIA    B. F. KEITH'S    December 6th    20
KINOGRAMS & "TOPICS OF THE DAY" - Very good.
THE VAN CELLOS - (6 mins.) A routine of foot juggling, very well put on. A good opener.
BOUBINI & BERNARD - (10 mins.) Young fellow and girl accordeonists. Play a variety of music and did very well in this spot.
MILLER & BRADFORD - (18 mins.) A very nice singing turn by a man and woman. They have built up a novelty in several settings and handle their material in good shape. Did very nicely.
ARNOLD & LAMBERT - (19 mins.) A very big applause hit. This is a new partner Miss Arnold is working with and they have a new act, called, "Pills" in which she does all the clowning and gets plenty of laughs all the way through. Closed as one of the big applause hits of the show.
HYAMS & MC INTYRE - (28 mins.) We played this sketch last year and it repeated splendidly. It is one of the prettiest comedy sketches in vaudeville and exceptionally well done. Very well received, from start to finish, closing strong.
LOUISE GUNNING - (15 mins.) She did very well with popular numbers, which she sang in good voice. Closed to a good hand.
BROWN & WESTON - (18 mins.) A very pretty dancing turn with piano accompaniment. They have a variety of numbers, all well executed and prettily dressed. A very attractive turn that made good from start to finish.
Toney & Norman - A very big applause and laughing hit in the next to closing spot. He has a lot of new stuff, mixed in with his old, which he handles very well. Closed big. (25 mins.)
"A WEDDING DAY IN DOGLAND" - An excellent novelty and filled the closing spot in very satisfactory manner. They do a lot of new work for dogs and it is well done. Closed to a very good hand. (14 mins.)
GENERAL REMARKS - This show made a very fine impression from start to finish. As it contains several big name acts is should pull strong, all week. The whole bill went over in fine shape at the Monday matinee.
CUTS
ARNOLD & LAMBERT - Eliminate remarks "Have you anything on to-night? Do you think I am September Morn?" Also "April Fool, I haven't any shimmy on."
