Keith-Albee managers' report book, December 11, 1911-September 9, 1912

B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE.
BOSTON SHOW WEEK DEC. 18, 1911.     (R. G. Larson.)
(Monday night show.)
JACOB'S DOGS. 10 minutes f.s. A mighty good animal act. Almost too good to open.
MURPHY and FRANCIS. 12 minutes in one. They are doing pretty much the same line of stuff, and getting away with it first-rate with the dancing finish.
SAYTON TRIO. 10 minutes f.s. Special set. This is one of the best contortionist acts we have ever played. The men make their first appearance as crocodile in a picturesque stage setting and finish with good stunts.
WILBUR MACK and NELLA WALKER. 18 minutes in one. Special drop. They are playing a new act, "The Dollar Bill," and it is all new with the exception of a song. Was received fully as well as the old act.
MASON, KEELER and Co. 50 minutes f.s. Special sets. Playing "In and Out." This is one of the biggest laughing hits we play, and went very big to-day at both shows.
WILSON BROTHERS. 14 minutes in one. It has been a long time since we have played these boys, and following Mason, Keeler, they had a hard spot, but they got away with it in great shape and came pretty near stopping the show.
"YE COLONIAL SEPTETTE." 24 minutes f.s. Special sets. The same act and one of the best musical features we play. Went big.
KATE ELINORE and SAM WILLIAMS. 18 minutes in one. Doing the same line of stuff and going first rate in this hard spot.
THE GREAT ASAHI JAP TROUPE. 20 minutes f.s. Special drop. This is certainly a great Jap act, and held the audience at both shows to-day.
CUTS. Mason Keeler & Co. - word "rotten."
