Boston Keith's April 11, 1921 Kinograms: Good Topics of The Day: Fair Aerial Valentines: 6 min full stage Fast trapeze act opened the show well. Pearson, Newport & Pearson: 12 min in 1 Excellent acrobatic dancing and a hit in this spot. Marcelle Fallet: 14 min in 1 This French girl and her mother make an attractive appearance, the daughter plays the violin very good and the mother accompanies on the piano. Closed to a big hand. Hanon Welch & Co. 18 min in 3 This sketch could be made a good laughing hit, but is handled poorly and appears to lack proper coaching and rehearsing. Went only fair. "Blackface" Eddie Ross: 23 min in 1 A big hit as usual. Santos & Hayes:Revue: 50 min full stage spec. A great revue with plenty of action and one of the biggest applause hits in a long time. Kane & Herman: 22 min in 1 These boys in a hard spot went just as big as on their former visit. Closed big. Ford Revue: 13 min full stage spec. A difficult position following the big revue, but they worked hard and went exceptionally well closing the show. CUTS: Kane & Herman: Please eliminate reference to "Rabid" also any local hotels and the line "I think it means something dirty" The Expression "You Dirty thing" gets a laugh but if possible kindly substitute another word for "dirty". Santos & Hayes: Please modify "shimmy" movements. Ford Revue: Please modify "shimmy" movement and use another word in place of "L" in "This is an L of a job etc.".
