BOSTON    KEITH'S    Feb. 10,    9
Garcinetti Brothers:- 9 min. f.s.
A neat hand balancing and trampoline act with a little comedy, made a nice opening act.
William Cutty:- 11 min. in one.
Mr. Cutty, with a program of songs, stories and piano, did nicely in this spot.
Stephens & Hollister:- 19 min. in one and three.
Although this act has been seen here on a few previous occasions it went over very nicely, and closed to a good hand.
Ruth Roye:- 14 min. in 1.
This girl can certainly sing the popular songs, and went over very good.
Kalmar & Brown:- 19 min. f.s. Open.
This is a novel dancing act, very well staged, and went over to a good hand.
Ward Brothers:- 19 min. in 1.
These boys were a big laughing hit, and closed to a good hand.
Marguerita Sylva:- 24 min. f.s.
Miss Sylva, with the assistance of her own accompanist and her own clever showmanship, entertained nicely, although she has but an ordinary singing voice. Closed to a good hand.
Morris & Campbell:- 16 min. in one Spec.
Man and woman in a very good comedy, singing and talking offering, got lots of laughs, and held this spot in good shape.
Lalla Selbini:- 8 min. f.s.
A rather novel bicycle act with a boy assistant, closed the show fairly well.
CUTS: William Cutty: Please eliminate words in reference to children in "The Kellys Are at it Again" song.
