Boston, Mass., B. F. Keith's Feb. 11th., 1918 Wm. Ferry:- 11 min. in f.s. Spl. set. This well known contortionist doing the same act as on previous visits, and while very good in his particular line of work, makes only a fair opening act. Lewis & White:- 16 min. in 1. Two girls in a routine of songs with a little chatter. Voices only fair and two of their numbers being but "passe." Went fair. McCarthy & Faye:- 22 min., f.s.. This is the best offering that Paul McCarthy has brought here, and seemed to please very much. Went well. Bancroft & Broske:- 22 min. in 1. This couple had some good wholesome comedy and the lady sings very well. Went very good. Emmet Devoy & Co.:- 23 min. f.s. spl. set.. This is the same sketch Mr. Devoy presented on his last visit here and went over well. W.J. (Sailor) Reilly:- 14 min. in 1. This boy received a very hearty welcome and went bigger than on his previous visit here and that is saying a good deal. Theo. Kosloff & Co., 27 min., f.s., spl. set. This act is very beautifully staged and all the dances are far above the average. They have a well selected program and went over very good. Cummings & Mitchell:- 23 min. in 1, spl. set. This is Roy Cumming's first visit here with Ruth Mitchell, and with a conglameration of "Nut" stuff and a few songs went over very big. The Four Boises;- 8 min. f.s.. This team consists of three men and 1 woman doing some very clever casting with quite a little comedy. Made a very good closing act. Cut;- Cummings & Mitchell;-Please omit reference to B.V.D.'s in addressing young lady.
