Boston    Keith's    July 8th, 1918.
Hazel Moran: 6 min. f.s.
This girl does good work with the lariats and made nice opener.
Shirley Sisters: 11 min. in 1.
Combination of singing and dancing. Make nice appearance, but went only fair.
Seven Bracks: 8 min. f.s.
Good fast acrobatic act in a class by itself. Went good.
Emmet Devoy: 18 min. f.s.
Comedy sketch with good possibilities. Went fair all the way through, but closed to a good hand.
DeHaven & Nice: 12 min. in 1.
These boys are good dancers and have some fine original steps. Went good.
Fritzi Scheff. 16 min. f.s.
Miss Scheff got a fine reception and put over the best program she has had for years. Went big.
Johnny Dooley: 16 min. 1 & 2 1/2.
This boy has a nice novelty, single, and went over good.
Act Beautiful: 10 min. f.s. Spec.
This act consists of posing horse and dogs. The best posing act this season and held audience well.
Remarks: DeLeon and Davies, playing the Boston Theatre, took the place of Senor Westony, who disappointed, and Duffy and Inglis will fill in the rest of the week.
Here is a nine act show, which gives us 1 hour and 49 minutes of Vaudeville. Three sight acts out of nine, and two pictures to fill out.
