B. F. KEITH'S HIPPODROME
Nov 28th 1910 Cleveland, Ohio. Ned Hastings.
TWO VIVIANS.
Time 16. Man & woman. F.S. This well known sharpshooting act is as great a success at the opening matinee as it did on its former visit. Very little change.
MORRISSEY SISTERS & BROTHERS.
Time 11. 2 young women, 2 young men. in 1. A very neat dancing act. Songs only fair.
ERNEST PANZER & MIDGET CHARLIE.
Time 7. F.S. Carry two men assistants. A remarkable acrobatic offering full of novelties and quick surprises. Much applause throughout.
ETHEL GREEN.
In 1. Time 25. Singing comedienne with quiet and eccentric methods. Her voice is powerful and sweet. She has several attractive gowns. Nearly every line she sang was full of double interpretation although nothing was far "off color." A big hit.
MARION MURRAY & CO.
C.D.F. 2 men, 2 women. Time 22. "The Prima Donna's Honeymoon." One of the best comedy sketches seen here in a long ti,me. It deals with the trials of a man who marries an operatic star, and exceedingly funny and novel situations develope. Not a slow second. A genuine success deserving highest praise.
GORDON & MARX.
2 men. Time 12. About the average German singing and talking act.
ROLFE AND HIS ROLPHONIANS.
3 women, 7 men. F.S. special. An attractive "garden party" instrumental act with a little singing. everything high class, although there seems to be too much volume at times. Close in 1 with an instrumental medley. Time 23.
ALONZO BRACCO TROUPE.
6 men, 1 boy, 1 girl. Time 8. Acrobats. Make a flashy entrance with picturesque Spanish costumes. Their work is only average good with one or two flashes of merit to lift the offering out of the commonplace.
MARYLAND THEATRE REPORT
Baltimore, Week Nov. 28th, 1910.
SKREMKA SISTERS Eight minutes full stage. Trapeze act. A very good one for an opener.
BISSETT & SCOTT Twelve minutes in one. Good novelty dancing act that thoroughly made good.
BOTHWELL BROWNE 19 minutes full stage. Same big hit as on his first appearance here.
MARSHALL MONTGOMERY 16 minutes in one. A splendid ventriloquist that went big.
MASON, KEELER & CO.  24 minutes full stage. The best laughing sketch of the season. A hit.
THE LEADING LADY 26 minutes full stage. Second appearance here and going very well.
TROVATO 24 minutes in one. One big, tremendous hit.
ADONIS & HIS DOG Nine minutes in two. One of the prettiest acts of the season, closing this show splendidly.
