Boston, Mass.,    B.F. Keith's    Aug. 5th., 1918.
Pathe - 
13 min., fairly interesting.
Rouble Sims;-
8 min in 1. Trained artist with grotesque make-up. Fairly small time act and should not have been put in a house like this.
John Regay and Lorraine Sisters.
12 min. in 1 and 2. Rather good dancing act; the man especially. Went over in great shape.
Connelli & Craven;-
18 min., f.s.. This is another decidedly small time act. The Washington Sq. Players did not mean anything in Boston, and this sketch evidently made it mean less.
Miss Frankie Heath;
19 min. in 1. Miss Heath has a good selection of songs; puts them over well and finished very big.
Ziegler Sisters and Kentuck Five
This act is very much like the Jazzland Follies we had last week only much better.
Chas. Irwin;
17 min. in 1. Good line of material and went big.
Miss Helen Ware;- "The Eternal Barrier"
17 min. f.s.. Interesting Drama that held the interest of our audience; well acted by Miss Ware.
Milo
17 min. in 1. Milo always pleases.
Asahi
17 min. f.s.. Japanese act that held our audience well; made a good closing act.
