B. F. KEITHS' HIPPODROME
Week of Dec. 23rd, 1912
Cleveland, Ohio
HILL & SYLVAINY - - Sensational bicyclists. Man and woman, 11 minutes in 4, doing just about the same line of stuff they have done for years: At the matinee several tricks were cut. Finished very well. Good for an opener. (Open)
MILLER & MACK - - Dancers. Two young men, 9 minutes in one. This team dances well but their talent seems limited to this line of work. They work fast without stalling and do all that can be expected of a straight dancing act. (Indianapolis)
THE PROVIDENCE PLAYERS - - Sketch "Who's Brown". 30 minutes, parlor. A fair sketch, fairly well acted. Four men, two women. (Cincinnati)
CHARLES LEONARD FLETCHER - - Impersonations. 17 minutes, open in one, work into two and close in one. A clever act, highly appreciated by both audiences. Mr. Fletcher is an artist. (Cincinnati)
PAUL MORTON & NAOMI GLASS - - Skit "My Lady of the Bungalow". 17 minutes in one, special drop. A conglomeration of comedy, some attempts at singing and dancing. The drop this team carries is the best part of the act. Audience approved of act. (Pittsburg)
THE COURTIERS- - Musical Act. 24 minutes, Special set, full stage. This act is ready for the shelf. There are no voices in it and as instrumentalists they present a very mediocre order of work. The costuming and scenery is attractive. Our own orchestra offers music so far ahead of this organization that there is no comparison. (Indianapolis)
JACK HAZZARD - - Monologist. 18 minutes in one. Apparently the hit of the program. Good stories, well told. (Toledo)
CARL EMMY'S PETS - - 15 minutes in 4, special set. If Emmy would forget his rather dull line of conversation, dotted quite frequently with grammatical errors, stop leading the orchestra, and let the dogs instead of himself have the spotlight, his act would go much better. As it is he has a very clever closing number. The dogs are well trained and the settings are elaborate. (Syracuse)
