BOSTON SHOW - B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - WEEK JUNE 23, 1913.
(R G. Larsen.)

IOLEEN SISTERS. 6 minutes f.s. Garden. Well known wire act which opened the show in excellent shape.

SAMPSEL and REILLY. 11 minutes in one. Garden. A beautifully dressed singing and dancing act that went very well in this position.

DEWITT, BURNS and TORRENCE. 15 minutes f.s. Special set. Same big hit as on previous visits.

LEONA STEPHENS. 15 minutes in one. Special drapery and picture sheet. Miss Stephens sang four numbers, making a change of costume for each. Between songs the picture sheet is lowered and she is shown in her dressing room making the changes. A distinct novelty, beautifully dressed. Made a decided hit at both performances  to-day.

FRANK RAE and COMPANY. In "Bottle 6-40-9." 20 minutes f.s. C.D.F. Got quite a number of laughs, but finished rather quiet.

DANIELS and CONRAD. 13 minutes in one. Olio. Two young men playing on the piano and violin. Have an excellent routine of popular stuff, and scored strongly at both shows.

THREE MORI BROTHERS. 13 minutes f.s. Palace. Same big laughing hit at [as] when here before.

LEE and HUSSEY. 15 minutes in one. Street. This is Al Lee, formerly of Ashley & Lee, and Jimmie Hussey of Sully & Hussey in a singing and talking act called "The New Chauffeur." They are using much of Sully' and Hussey's old material, with some that is new. Got many laughs and closed well.

"THE MEISTERWINGERS IN THE WILD WOODS." 31 minutes f.s. Special set. The general opinion seems to be that this is the best production we have made for these singers. They are singing an entirely new program from any previously given, and at both performances to-day went over in great shape.

CUTS: Sampsel and Reilly - "Goody, goody, good" song.
Leona Stephens - second number ending "I'm not that kind of a girl."
Frank Rae - word "mother-in-law."
Lee and Hussey - "mother-in-law joke" and "Somebody's coming to our house" song.
