B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE, CINCINNATI, O.
Week of Jan. 19th, 1913.
WENTWORTH, VESTA & TEDDY: (Teddy being a dog). Comedy gymnasts, 10 min. in one. They do a lot of funny stunts, assisted by the dog. Lots of laughs. Went good. CLEVELAND.
ELSIE FAYE TRIO: (Miss Faye and two boys). Singing and dancing. 16 min. in one. Called "The Act Dainty" - good name for it. Swell act; went fine. LOUISVILLE.
W. C. FIELDS: Comedy juggler. 21 min. F. S. Straight and comedy juggling work, and billiard table comedy. An immense hit. Best act of its kind ever seen here. INDIANAPOLIS.
OWEN McGIVENEY: Irish character artist in character changes, all characters from Dickens' "Oliver Twist". 21 min. F. S., own set. Went good. LOUISVILLE.
LEE WHITE & GEORGE PERRY: Man and woman. "Smiling singers of smiling songs". 16 min. in one. One of the biggest hits of the show. Made an immense hit Sunday night. The woman does nearly all of it. CHICAGO.
JESSE LASKY'S MILITARY OPERETTA, "IN THE BARRACKS": 37 min. F. S., own set. Some good singing and pretty costumes. Went only fair. Our audiences do not appear to take to acts of this kind. The fact that it is billed as the headliner keeps some of our regulars away - no doubt of it. NEW YORK.
JOHN E. HAZZARD: Story teller. 14 min. in one. The weakest act on the bill. Does not belong in a show of class. LOUISVILLE.
KAUFMAN TROUPE: Bicyclists. 9 min. F. S. Same old act. Went good. COLUMBUS.
PATHE'S WEEKLY: 12 min.
REMARKS: The show was re-arranged as follows, and went much better Sunday night:
Wentworth, Vesta & Teddy
Owen McGiveney
John E. Hazzard
"In The Barracks"
Elsie Faye Trio
W. C. Fields
White & Perry
Kaufman Troupe
