BOSTON    KEITH'S    April 21,    9
Kinograms:- Interesting.
Fink's Mules:- 12 min. f.s. Spec.
Good lively animal act, plenty of laughs, made a fine opener.
Sybil Vane:- 12 min. in 1.
This girl has a pleasing voice and a well arranged program. Went over very well.
Harry Cooper:- 14 min. in 1.
Cooper has a pleasing line of songs and chatter, and did well in this spot.
Mr. & Mrs. Mel-Burne:-17 min. in 3 1/2 Spec.
This is a very prettily staged sketch, and both people are clever. Went over very good.
Bernard Granville:- 23 min. in 1.
This boy is all class and entertained wonderfully well, closing to a big hand.
Mr. & Mrs. Jimmie Barry:- 23 min. in 1. Spec.
This well known couple got a nice reception and went just as well as on other visits here.
Rooney & Bent:- 24 min. in 1 1/2 Spec.
Went very big.
Geo. N. Brown:-18 min. f.s. Spec.
Brown, with the assistance of Rooney and Barry, staged one of the most laughable travesties we have seen here. Brown with the assistance of Billy Weston, closed the act with a walking competition, house remaining intact.
CUTS:- Mr. & Mrs. Mel-Burne: Please eliminate the line "shimmy kid", the word "damn", and "porch inspector".
Harry Cooper: Please eliminate the "blue bar" story, also title of song "When I woke up this morning", and the line referring to "A flat".
