B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - BOSTON - WEEK AUGUST 25, 1913.
(R. G. Larsen.)

TOM MOSHER and CO. 11 minutes f.s. Garden. Three men and a girl in a bicycle act. A fair opener, and only fair.

BILLY and EDITH ADAMS. 10 minutes in one. Special drop. A nicely dressed and very neat singing and dancing act that went first-rate.

GOLDRICK, MOORE and KLAISS. 20 minutes f.s. Special set. Two men and a girl in a singing sketch with a little talk. The act is marred to a very considerable extent by the ancient vintage of the songs they use, everyone of which has been done to death in this house.

DOC O'NEIL. 13 minutes in one. Street. Doc had 'em laughing every minute and closed strong.

ROSER'S AERIAL DOGS. 14 minutes f.s. Garden. A pretty little dog act, featuring a really wonderful wire walking dog. Held the interest every minute and closed well.

BEN DEELY and CO. 25 minutes in two. Special drop. Close street in one. A big laughing hit. The finish with the dancing dummy was nothing short of a riot.

RAE ELEANOR BALL. 16 minutes in one. O. P. Drapery. One of the best, if not the very best violinist we have ever played. Went over very, very strong.

VICTOR MOORE and CO. 31 minutes f.s. Bare stage. 4 minute close in one. Reversed drop. One of the biggest laughing hits we have ever played. In fact, nothing short of a riot of laughter from start to finish.

THREE BARTOS. 7 minutes f.s. Palace. A fine hand-balancing act, flashily dressed, that made a great closing feature to an exceptionally strong comedy show.

CUTS: Goldrick, Moore & Klaiss - "souse" - "give bride away" gag.
Doc O'Neil - "mother-in-law" - "booze" - "Fall River Line song - red necktie talk.
Ben Deely & Co - "chcken [chicken] gag" - "My God" - "Baby lobster" gag.
