B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - BOSTON - WEEK SEPT. 15, 1913
(R. G. Larsen.)

GREAT HARRAH and CO. 8 minutes f.s. Palace. A rather neat roller skating act that opened the show in good shape.

CARMEN ERCELL. 12 minutes in one. O. P. Drapery. Songs and violin. A fair act for number two spot, and only fair.

ED F. REYNARD. 17 minutes f.s. Special set. Doing about the same line of material as before, and going as well as on previous visits.

FRED JARVIS and FREDERICA HARRISON. 17 minutes in one. Garden. Man and girl in flirtation sketch with songs and dances. Went well.

WILLIAM A. WESTON and CO. 22 minutes f.s. Office. Close 4 minutes Olio in one. The classiest musical act we play. Went over strong.

LEO ZARRELL TRIO. 9 minutes in two. Palace. Short open and close in one. One of the greatest hand balancing acts we have ever played. A great big hit.

JACK NORWORTH. 32 minutes f.s. Music room. Uses picture sheet. Norworth is giving us the best act he ever did. All new songs, and some funny motion pictures showing himself on a trip around the world. Everything he did was strongly applauded, and he closed very big.

SIX AMERICAN DANCERS. 16 minutes in one. Special plush drop. New costumes and new dances. Held this hard spot in pretty good shape.

THE PEERS. 8 minutes f.s. Garden. Two men in a comedy bar act. Comedy nothing astonishing, but the work on the bars is exceptionally good. Made an acceptable closer.

CUTS: Jack Norworth - 3rd verse of "Kellys at it again."
Carmen Ercell - "Over the Garden Wall" song.
William Weston - word "souse" and minister burlesque.
