B. F. Keith's Hippodrome

Cleveland, Ohio Week Sept. 16th
Stickney's Circus--Man end woman, pony and two dogs, 10 minutes in 4. An appealing act for the children end, a good opener for any bill. (Indianapolis)
Butler Haviland and Alice Thortnton--Comedy sketch " A question of Policy". 17 minutes, special set in 4. This team is well dressed, work in an attractive set, and succeed in getting laughs, but their material is just about what it has been for several seasons. (Columbus)
Joe Jackson---Comedy Bicyclist. 12 minutes in 3. This fellow is a scream, and the audience bordered on hysteria at times during his appearance. He'll make good on any spot on any bill and needs only a bare stage. His billing is rather confusing, and he cannot work in one and get results. He bills himself as "Europe's Versatile Pantomitist", which is indefinite. The old story about "Knocked 'em off the seats " holds good with the chap. (Cincinnati)
Henry E. Dixey---"Mono-Drama and Vaude-Alogue. 18 minutes C.D.F: Mr. Dixey has a high class offering in which he depicts an entirre vaudeville show. He works alone in dress clothes and of his talent. His impersonations of Irving were unusually ready appreciation from the better class of theatre-goers.
