B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - BOSTON - WEEK FEBRUARY 17, 1913.
(R. G. Larsen.)
WILL and KEMP. 7 minutes f.s. Garden. A splendid head-balancing act, nicely dressed, by a couple of clever performers, who opened the show in great shape.
SHARP and TUREK. 10 minutes in one. Special drop. A good blackface singing and dancing act, man and woman. Might have gone further down.
WILLIS FAMILY. 12 minutes f.s. Palace. this musical team more than pleased.
BURLEY and BURLEY. 11 minutes in one. Landscape. A good fast comedy talking acrobatic act. A decided novelty that pleased immensely.
MADDEN and FITZPATRICK. 22 minutes f.s. Interior. First time here of the new act. It was one big hit.
MME. ADELAIDE NORWOOD. 7 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. Mme. Norwood has gone back considerably, but she pleased and was a good feature for the bill in this position.
FELIX and CAIRE. 16 minutes f.s. C.D.F. with 3 minutes close in one olio drop. These youngsters took it for granted that Boston audiences remembered them of old, and opened their act with some of their old stuff. But it was not until they got down to Fred Stone and the song in one that they caught the audience for fair.
ROBERT T. HAINES and COMPANY in "The Coward." 27 minutes f.s. C.D.F. Dark tapestry. The first dramatic act we have played in a long time. It got over nicely.
DONOVAN and MCDONALD. 27 minutes in two. One of the very best acts we play. Went over bigger to-night than it has on previous visits.
NORRIS' BABOONS. 10 minutes f.s. Garden. This is one good act. The two baboons with special scenery are on the stage for quite a time alone, and held the audience to-night to the finish.
CUTS: Robert T. Haines "Hell" and "wet" in "I don't need a wet nurse."
Madden and Fitzpatrick "Hell."
