BOSTON    KEITH'S    Sept. 16,    8
Hearst-Pathe News:-Interesting.
Tozart:- 14 min. f.s.
This man paints three or four pictures, the last one being a patriotic subject, closed to a good hand.
Clara & Emily Barry:- 17 min. in 1.
These girls started a little slowly but got going and held the position nicely. Went well.
Lee & Cranston:- 16 min. in 2 1/2 spec.
This is one of the nicest singing and talking "skits" we have had for some time. Went over very good.
Charles Olcott:- 20 min. in 1. This man always pleases here. Closed to a good hand.
Florence Roberts & Co.:- 22 min. f.s.
Although this sketch has been played here before, it is well handled and held attention throughout. Closed to a fiar hand.
Clara Morton:-19 min. in 1.
Miss Morton had better material than on her last visit here, and went over very nicely.
Morton & Glass:-17 min. in 1. f.s. spec.
This couple are doing their old act with the exception of one song, but went over nicely closing to a good hand.
Four Mortons:-27 min. in 1.
This act got a good reception and went over in fine shape. For the finale Sam had the whole family go on in one and after a little "kidding" all joined in an Irish reel which made a big hit demanding many bows and a speech.
Koban Japs:-7 min. f.s.
The regulation Jap act succeeded in holding the house fairly well.
War Pictures:-Closed the show.
Cuts:-
Lee & Cranston:
Please eliminate the word "Hell" from your act.
