B. F. KEITH'S HIPPODROME
Week of Oct. 28th, 1912
Cleveland, Ohio
FERRELL BROTHERS- - Comedy Bicyclists. 9 minutes. Garden in 4. A very mediocre opening act, which seems to be getting slower each season. The comedy will require considerable imagination to laugh. (Indianapolis)
ELIDA MORRIS - - Singing Comedienne. 12 minutes in 1. this girl is very clever. Has a number of changes and displays youthful enthusiasm in her work. She is really a coon shouter, and would do well to bill herself as such. She holds down this spot well. (Boston)
GEORGE ROLLAND & CO - Comedy skit "Fixing the Furnace". 16 minutes, special set in 3. Two men and one woman. Starts off like the Piano Movers and finishes like a burlesque show. There are some very clever speeches in this act which are killed by the impossible situations, and the introduction of some 'slop' make-up and 'sissy' stuff which our audiences don't care for. The act is only fair. (Toledo)
