KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Cleveland, Ohio.
Dec 6th 1909   Ned Hastings.

M'LLE CHESTER & STATUE DOG.
Special gilt frame F.S. plush curtain. Time 9. livery attractive hunting poses. A big hit with applause after every pose.

SAM ROWLEY.
Time 11. in 1. Australian singing comedian. In spite of hard work and fairly good material, Mr Rowley fell flat with scarcely a hand. He has a pleasing personality, too, but couldn't score.

EXPOSITION FOUR
Open C.D.F. Close in 1. Time 17. High class instrumentalists. They play xylophones, cornets, trombones and organchimes. Very stylish and effective minstrel finish with fancy dance. Some instrumental imitations, good.

RAYNO'S BULL DOGS.
F.S.Garden. Time 19. An act built up on the characteristics of bull dogs. Very funny and original throughout. The "football" finish is a scream and won tremendous applause.

GREAT LESTER.
Time 25. Ventriloquist. In 1. Comes down to audience at finish. The best ever seen here. A huge hit. He works away from Reynard in every pont. His comedy is high class.

BERG'S MERRY GIRLS (Lustige Weiber.)
F.S.Palace. Time 9 . 6 attractive girls. They appear in three conceptions. Acrobatic and novelty dancing. The act is bright and fast and deserved more applause than it received. They sing entirely in German.

JACK WILSON.
Assisted by Ada Lane and Franklin Batie. In 1. Time 28. Wilson is far advanced over last year as a comedian. The audience screamed throughout.

HUGH LLOYD. 
F.S.Garden. Woman assistant. Time 10. Little short of miraculous. His straight work on the bounding rops is exceptional in that he uses no balancing pole. When be begins turning somersaults on the rope while playing a violin, he is a knockout. A truly great act.

HIPPOGRAPH.
