Boston    Keith's    October 31, 1921
Aesop's Fables: Best Yet
Topics of the Day: Good
Roy & Arthur: 10 min in full stage spec.
Comedy juggling got lots of good laughs and closed to a fair hand.
Kirby Quinn & Anger: 15 min in 1
Acrobatic dancers with a little talk. Dancing was good. Closed to a fairly good hand.
Millership Sisters & Gerard: 28 min in full stage spec.
This act went over even better than when Santley & Sawyer played it here. Closed to a big hand.
Blanche & Jimmy Creighton: 18 min in 1
Rube comedy act, quiet but got lots of laughs in this spot. Closed to a good hand.
Arnold Daly & William Norris: 21 min in full stage
This sketch was simply tolerated, getting but few laughs and little applause at the finish.
Bert & Betty Wheeler: 25 min in 1
Picked the show up again and closed to a good hand.
The Dress Rehersal: 17 min in full stage spec.
The novelty of this act and being short and snappy enabled them to hold this spot closing to a fairly good hand, but is not strong enough ordinarily for this spot in the shows we are running.
Ruth Roye: 17 min in 1
Not as big as on former visits here, but went over well and had to do an encore.
Three Regals: 11 min in 3 spec.
Ring act with novel setting. Closed the show fairly well.
Pathe News: Good
CUTS: Kirby, Quinn & Anger: Please eliminate any suggestion of thumbing nose
The Dress Rehearsal: Please eliminate lines "Bad Woman but darn good company", "What second lieut. brought her over" also the expression "My God" and reference to Adams House. Change line "Her character is as spotless as a napkin etc."
Ruth Roye: Please eliminate line in song "He looked like a lemon with the juice squeezed out" and change "Hold me tight line"
