Boston   Keith's   June 20, 1921
Baraban & Grohs: 12 min full stage spec.
Quite a display of scenery but the dancing is just fair. Closed to a small hand.
Ford & Goodridge: 11 min in 1
This act was obliged to work in street clothes owing to a delay in baggage. Did well considering.
Chas Harrison & Co. 19 min in 1 and 2 spec.
A good breezy offering that differs from most singing and talking acts with some good comedy and a novel musical finish. Went very good.
Claudia Coleman: 19.min in 1
Went over very well the same as on all visits here.
La Belge Duo: 6 min in 2
Neat hand balancing. Went over very good.
Spencer & Williams: 17 min in 1
Comedy singing and talking. A little loud and boisterous, but went over very well just the same.
Ethel Barrymore: 26 min full stage.
Miss Barrymore's reception was really wonderful and she closed her admirably well played sketch to the biggest applause heard here for a year.
Joe Towle: 19 min in 1
A Hard spot for this boy but he did well indeed and closed to nice hand.
Maria Lo: 5 min full stage spec.
Did fairly well closing.
Pathe News: Interesting but short.
Topics of the Day. fairly good.
CUTS: Spencer & Williams: Please eliminate reference to "Indian Guide" in your act, also the line "I see through it all now"
Claudia Coleman: Please eliminate the line "I didn't have to walk back"
Joe Towle: Please eliminate reference to Sims;
