PHILADELPHIA    B.F. KEITH'S    ,ARCH 18,    8
PATHE. Some very good war pictures.
THREE ROMANOS. 8 min. A trio of attractive looking girls who do some graceful dancing. One of the girls also sings a war song. Prettily dressed and very well liked in the opening spot.
ROSE & MOON. 9 min. Young fellow and girl in a very pleasing singing and dance number. Clever steppers and their work is a little different than the usual run. Very well liked.
HOWARD & WHITE. 19 min. "The Gadabouts." A very good comedy vehicle written by Herbert Hall Winslow. Has some good comedy situations and plenty of action. Well played, was a good laugh-winner and finished strong.
DOROTHY GRANVILLE. 17 min. "Types of Women." Registered a good sized hit with a variety of character numbers. Makes several changes of costume and is assisted by Jim Rule at the piano. Songs were well liked and she finished to a warm hand.
IMHOF, CONN & COREENE. 37 min. "A Pest House." A low comedy sketch of old style with Imhof in his well known Irish character as the principal. Very well played and a laughing hit from start to finish.
BERT HANLON. 17 min. His songs went much better than his talk. The latter dragged badly and got only fair results. He also used a very long recitation for an encore which did not help him any. Went only fair.
MARIA LO & CO. 10 min. A series of very pretty groupings. Three women are employed for the pictures, the subjects are new and beautifully staged. A very interesting act, well liked.
EVA TANGUAY. 21 min. A crowded house at her opening performance gave her a very warm welcome. Her costumes created the usual talk and her songs were liberally applauded. Finished strong and gave a couple of encore numbers.
JOSEPH De KOS CO. 7 min. A very clever and nicely staged acrobatic turn by four men and a woman. An excellent routine of tricks well executed, and in the closing spot, following Tanguay, were very well received.
GENERAL REMARKS. Miss Tanguay drew her usual big Monday business, almost capacity. Good variety of acts surrounding the headliner and a very satisfactory show.
