B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE, CINCINNATI, O.
Week of Dec. 8th, 1912.
FLYING WEAVERS: Man and woman. Aerial novelty entitled "The Butterfly and the Archer". 7 min. F. S. Nothing remarkable, but very pretty. Went fair. TOLEDO.
SHARP & THREK: Man and woman - Singing and dancing; both black face  11 min. in One, own drop. This team was substituted for Keno & Green. The man does some good dancing. Nothing especially noteworthy, but went good. OPEN TO JAN. 6th - THEN NEW YORK.
ROBBIE GORDONE: Posing act. 14 reproductions of famous statues - 7 min. F. S., own set. Same act as last season. Two or three of the models got some liberal applause. Very pretty. ATLANTA.
LEW SULLY: Songs and monologue. 18 min. in one. Advance hand. Everything Sully does here is laughed at. Went big. INDIANAPOLIS.
COLONIAL SEPTETTE: Instrumental music, with elaborate costumes and own stage set. 22 min. in all; opens 4 min. in One, then to full stage, and closes 7 min. in One. Very good - Went good. MUNCIE, IND.
HENRY WOODRUFF & CO.: Comedy sketch, "A Regular Business Man". 27 min. F. S. Advance hand for Woodruff at both performances Sunday. Very clever sketch, cleverly presented. Went big throughout. NEW YORK.
KATE ELINORE & SAM WILLIAMS: Songs and comedy. 19 min. in One. A big hit, Kate Elinore being practically the whole act. TOLEDO.
HILL & SILVAINY: Man and woman - bicycle act. 9 min. F. S. Nearly all the work is done on an old-fashioned high wheel bicycle and unicycle tricks on a wagon wheel, concluding with the man riding down a flight of steps on a single wheel with the woman on his shoulders. Only a fair act. With the exception of Joe Jackson and the Chas. Ahearn Troupe, the people here are tired of bicycle acts and start to leave the house as soon as the curtain goes up on a bicycle. OPEN NEXT WEEK - then CLEVELAND.
PATHE'S WEEKLY: 12 min.
CUTS: Lew Sully, while burlesquing Alice Lloyd - expression "I look like hell in this.
REMARKS: The show, as a whole, is a good one, much better than last week's.

C. L. Doran.
