B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - BOSTON - WEEK JANUARY 27 - 1913.
(R. G. Larsen.)
ARCHIE ONRI and CO. 12 minutes f.s. Special drop. A very good and showy juggling act that started things off in good shape.
STUART and KEELEY.  13 minutes in one. Special drapery. Man and woman in dances with special drop, making number of changes. Worked up to a good finish.
THE GEE JAYS. 9 minutes f.s. Special miniature theatre. A sort of human marionette show with man and woman, which proved quite a novelty. Got a lot of applause.
THE HEIM CHILDREN. 19 minutes in one. Special drop. For some reason or other, this boy seems to have gone back. Although his line of stuff is about the same, he seems to have lost some of his unctuousness, and while the act went well, it did not begin to be the hit it was last season.
FOUR ONETTI SISTERS. 8 minutes f.s. Garden. Four very attractive girls on the trapeze and rings, that do some remarkable teeth stunts. Went over good, 
SMITH, VOELK and CRONIN. 12 minutes in one. O.P Drapery. Three men and a piano that held this spot in good shape. 
FRANK NORTH and CO. in "Back In Wellington." 26 minutes in 2. Special set. With a new man, going as big as ever.
WELLINGTON CROSS and LOIS JOSEPHINE. 22 minutes in one. Landscape. One of the best man and woman acts we have ever played, and the hit of the bill.
DAVID BELASCO'S "THE DRUMS OF OUDE." 30 minutes f.s. Special set. This thriller held the interest of the house throughout, and got a strong hand at the finish.
CUTS: Snith, Voelk  & Cronin - "mother-in-law" gag.
