Keith's Show Report, Week of Sept. 2, 1918.
Hearst-Pathe Weekly: interesting.
Fern-Bigelow & King: 9 min. f.s.
A novel acrobatic act presented in sketch form. Opened the show to a good hand.
Harry & Grace Ellsworth: 12 min. in 1.
A routine of singing and dancing. Girl wears some very pretty gowns and boy is an exceptional dancer. Went well.
Stan Stanley & Co.: 22 min. in 1. fs
This is the best act Stanley has played here and was the "laughing" hit of the show. Went big.
Hallen & Fuller: 19 min. in 1. spec.
These old timers got a little reception on their entrance and seemed to please throughout. Closed to a fair hand.
Lester Sheehan & Pearl Regay: 22 min. in 1. f.s. spec.
Miss Regay does some remarkable dancing and also puts a song over in good shape. Sheehan assists her very creditably in the dances. Went good.
Janet Adair: 18 min. in 1.
Miss Adair has a very good routine of songs assisted by Miss Adelphi at the piano. Went very good.
Hermine Shone & Co.: 28 min. f.s. spec.
This travesty on the modern fiction is well handled by Miss Shone and Mr. Regan Hughston and holds interest throughout. Closed to a good hand.
Dooley & Sales: 28 min. in 1.
This act went as big as on its previous visits here, closing to a good hand.
Dooley & Sales: 28 min. in 1.
This act went as big as on its previous visits here, closing to a good hand.
Remarks: "Beauty" was unable to appear owing to delay in transportation and Sprague and McNeece substituted going fairly well.
Cuts: Dooley & Sales: Please eliminate the word "spit" used several times during your act, and the line "am home on a furlough".
Stan Stanley: Please eliminate the line "She is certainly a fast worker."
