BOSTON SHOW - B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - WEEK NOVEMBER 11, 1912.
(R. G. Larsen.)

POWER BROTHERS. 11 minutes f.s. Special black drop. A clean, flashy strong man that made a greta opener.

HARVEY DEVORA TRIO. 12 minutes in one. Garden. This well known dancing act livened things up in first-class shape.

GRAHAM MOFFAT'S PLAYERS IN "THE CONCEALED BED." 28 minutes f.s. Old rose interior. This comedy presented by a troupe of Scottish players is a novelty. While rather long drawn out, it got a lot of laughs to-night and closed very well.

ALBERT VON TILZER. 13 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. While this man is a better singer than his brother Harry, he seems to lack the showmanship of the latter. Went very well at both performances to-day.

TOM DINGLE AND ESMERELDA SISTERS. 11 minutes. Open in two with 5 minutes closed in one. A very neat little dancing act, the eccentric dancing of Dingle, of course, being the big feature. All of their numbers were applauded, and they closed strong.

ROBERT FULGORA. 19 minutes C.D.F. in 1-1/2. This character impersonator with his quick changes held the interest every minute, many of his impersonations got a hand, and he closed well.

MLLE. NINA PAYNE AND CO. IN "LA SOMNAMBULE." 22 minutes f.s. Special set. This Molasso pantomime proved quite as interesting to our audiences to-day as have this producer's previous efforts. Was greeted with close attention all through, and finished strong.

RAY COX. 29 minutes. Open in one 15 minutes. 14 minutes close in two. Garden. Miss Cox sang three songs and closed with her aeroplane [airplane] number. Her songs went over very well, with many laughs, and the aeroplane [airplane] trip kept the audience in screams of laughter. Held this hard spot in great shape and closed big.

"THE ACT BEAUTIFUL" OR FORRER AND EDGIRETTU'S POSING HORSE AND DOGS. 10 minutes f.s. Special cyclorama. A man, a woman, a horse and four dogs reproducing a day's hunting trip in living marble statuary. One of the best posing acts we have ever played. Could go up in the middle of a bill. The audience remained in their seats to the very finish, and the act closed strong. Made a splendid closing feature for a strong show.
