Boston, Mass.    Keith's    August 19, 1918.
Hearst Pathe News: Interesting.
Pershing's 4th of July in Paris: Created considerable enthusiasm.
The Ramsdells & Deyo: 12 min. f.s. spec.
Two girls and a boy in a fast dancing act. Pretty costumes and hard workers. Made a good opener.
The Stantons: 15 min. in one.
These boys have a good line of chatter with a little dancing. Went good.
Beaumont & Arnold: 17 min. f.s. in one.
This act has played here on a number of occasions but went over better than usual this time.
Fradkin & Tell: 19 min. f.s.
This man is an exceptional violinist and Miss Tell is good with a very pleasing voice. Went over good.
Leo Beers: 19 min. in 1.
Mr. Beers always pleases here and went even better than usual this time.
The Decorators: 19 min. f.s.
This comedy skit was well handled and got plenty of laughs throughout, closing to a fair hand.
Ames & Winthrop: 20 min. in 2 1/2 and 1.
This couple presented an act new to Boston. There numbers were all good but suffered through lack of scenery. Went good.
Mme. Chilson-Ohrman: 16 min. in 1.
Miss Ohrman was in very good voice and went over big.
Bostock's Circus: 14 min. f.s. spec.
This is a conventional circus act and did not create much interest until the boys came out of the audience to be taught to ride. Closed to a fair hand.
Remarks: Ames & Winthrop drop did not arrive Monday. This same things happened when they played here previously and it looks as though they might be a little neglectful in regard to looking after the baggage.
Cuts: The Stantons.
Please eliminate he burlesque on Salvation Army.
