Boston    Keith's    Oct. 10, 1921
Aesop's Fable: Fair
The Joannys    13 min in full stage
Shadowgraph act, a little different from the others. Tame opening act for present day vaudeville.
Vincent O'Donnell: 13 min in 1
This boy's voice is on the decline and his diminutive size is the only thing that gets him over. Fair hand.
Hal Skelley & Co. 30 min in 3 spec.
Miss Miller is the hit of the act and it seems as though she and Skelley with and act in one would be just as satisfactory. Went over very good in this spot.
Topics of the Day    5 min in 1
In this spot in order to strike Skelley act and set Abraham Lincoln. Got some good laughs.
Abraham Lincoln: with Frederick Burton    33 min in full stage spec.
This sketch seemed to hold interest most of the time but is much too long. Closed to a good hand.
Jean Granese: 15 min in 1
The comedy talk and singing of the men "plants" in the orchestra pit picked up the show again and closed to a big hand.
Bostocks Circus: 16 min in full stage spec.
Plenty of life and pep kept this act moving and they went over very good.
Daphne Pollard: 18 min in 1 and 3 spec.
This girl has an ideal vaudeville act and went over very big in this spot.
Bert Errol: 20 min in full stage.
A very difficult spot, but held the audience surprisingly well and did his encore in one closing to a fairly good hand. His changing back to male attire does not help the act.
Three [Nordons?]    7 min in full stage
Trampoline and horizontal bar act. Work fast and closed the show fairly well.
Pathe News    Good
Show reported in its present running order
