BOSTON SHOW - B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - WEEK OCTOBER 14, '12.
(R. G. Larsen.)
MONTAMBO and WELLS. 10 minutes f.s. Garden. Knockabout acrobats. Have a good line of comedy and opened the show in great shape.
MILLER and MACK. 9 minutes in one. Olio. A dancing act, two boys, that held the spot in good shape.
FIVE MUSICAL LASSIES. 15 minutes f.s. Special sets. A very pretentious production with three scenes, the first of which is very beautiful. I regret to say that the musical end of it does not keep up with the scenery.
ANDY KELLEY. 16 minutes in one. Street. Kelley is a story teller after the style of Frank Fogarty. His stories are all new and very good. He is not a Frank Fogarty, but is exceptional value for the money.
BERT LEVY. 15 minutes f.s. Library. Going as big as ever.
McDEVITT, KELLY and LUCEY. 22 minutes, open f.s. close 5 minutes in one. Library and olio. "The Piano Movers." This act was one of the hits of the bill. Had them laughing all through and the finish was good.
JESSIE BUSLEY and COMPANY IN "MISS 318." 24 minutes f.s. Special set. This department store comedy got over in great shape. Laughs all through it.
FRANK COOMBS and ERNEST ALDWELL. 15 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. Straight singing act, two men, that went exceptionally well in this hard spot.
TOM DAVIES TRIO. 10 minutes f.s. Landscape. A swift motorcycle act that made a sensational closing feature.
CUTS: Jessie Busley - "For God's sake" and "My God."
Montambo and Wells - mock prayer.
