B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - BOSTON - WEEK APRIL 14 - 1913.
(R. G. Larsen.)

PERO and WILSON. 10 minutes f.s. Garden. A rather showy juggling act, and a clever one. Made a good opener.

LEXEY and MELLEN. 9 minutes in one. Olio drop. Two lively boys in a routine of singing, dancing, and acrobatics that was fast every minute.

THOMAS A. EDISON'S KINETOPHONE. 13 minutes special picture sheet in one. "Anniversary of Jerry and Mandy." Got some laughs. "Votes For Women." This was taken as a comedy for the large part, especially the third woman speaker, who got a laugh on her appearance.

SEARL ALLEN and CO. in "The Promoter." 15 minutes f.s. C.D. F. Dark tapestry. A sketch something after the fashion of his former efforts in this line, although not quite so boisterous. Got laughs all through.

ROBERT EMMETT KEANE. 16 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. This is one of the best single acts we have played in a long time. His routine is somewhat different from that of Union Square, and very, very, much better. He made a positive hit.

EQUILI BROTHERS or SPA BROTHERS. 10 minutes f.s. Garden. This pair of head-to-head balancers stopped the show. They had to come out after the music for the next act had started. 

THOSE FOUR ENTERTAINERS. 12 minutes in one. Street. Carried on the enthusiasm in great shape, and finished strong.

"THE PURPLE LADY." 25 minutes f.s. Special set. This is one of the best of the Rolfe acts, as far as comedy is concerned. There are three good comedians in the act, and with good song numbers it kept things moving to a big finish.

KAUFMANN BROTHERS. 12 minutes in one. Street. Came on with a rush, and held a hard spot in a swift show. Finished very strong.

PETER. 22 minutes f.s. Boxed set. Peter, although pretty well tired out after his long journey, proved as big a favorite as ever here. Held the audience to a man. He is certainly the greatest of the monks, and got lots of comedy out of the act.

CUTS: Pero and Wilson - red hose supporters on man's back.
"The Purple Lady" word "damned" and reference to "chickens."
Robert Emmett Keane - "chicken" verse of song.
