BOSTON SHOW - B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - WEEK DEC. 9, 1912.
(R. G. Larsen.)
BEN REYER and BROTHER. 10 minutes f.s. Garden. Two men in a very fast, clean-cut bicycle act. Some sensational tricks and a good line of comedy. Made a great opener.
ILA GRANNON. 12 minutes in one. Olio. Singing comedienne. Miss Grannon sang four songs. In this position she got away with them in pretty good shape.
WILFRED CLARKE and CO. "What Will Happen Next?" 15 minutes f.s. C.D.F. This wellknown farce got quite a lot of laughs and closed well.
WARD and WEBER. 10 minutes in one. Special drapery. One of the best dressed two-men dancing acts we have ever played. All their numbers are presented in a novel manner, and they got over first-rate at both performances to-day.
JOE JACKSON. 14 minutes f.s. Landscape. Second visit here and the same old laughing riot.
THREE LYRES. 21 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. The very same act they gave us on their first visit, without a change of any kind in selections, jokes or business. Got quite a lot of laughs and closed well.
LULU GLASER and COMPANY in "First Love." 10 minutes f.s. Tapestry C. D. F. Miss Glaser has a very good comedy sketch, and has surrounded herself with a capable company. Two songs, one a duet and the other a solo by Thomas Richards, Miss Glaser's leading man, are introduced. Went very well at both performances to-day, getting a number of laughs and closing strong.
MAUDE LAMBERT and ERNEST BALL. 20 minutes in one. Olio. These people duplicated the big hit they scored in this house last summer. Held this hard spot in splendid shape.
KREMKA BROTHERS. 8 minutes f.s. Palace. A very good two-man acrobatic comedy turn, with some head balancing. The men work fast, introduce quite a little comedy, and made a very acceptable closer.
CUTS: Mr. Ernest Ball has been requested to change the line "with her head on his chest she hopes for the best" in the "Row, Row, Row" song.
