Page 47

B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE, CINCINNATI, O.
Week of Jan. 21, 1912.
WYNNE BROS:
Athletes. Two men.- 8 minutes, full stage. They use a small billiard table, with steps leading to it from each end to do their athletic stunts. Nearly everything they do is new. The  cleverest act of the kind ever seen in this house. Went big. Splendid opener. Act goes to MEMPHIS.
ROSA ROMA:
Violiniste. 9 minutes in One. Miss Roma appears in a Bohemian costume. Her selections are both classic and ragtime, and include a vocal number. Good violinist, good voice, good act, and went good. Act goes to DAYTON, O.
EDWIN STEVENS, assisted by TINA MARSHALL:
In a sketch entitled "Cousin Kitty". 25 minutes, full stage. This is the same old sketch under a new name and with a new song or two. Some clever singing and high-class comedy by Mr. Stevens. Act went good. Goes to INDIANAPOLIS.
JOHNNY FORD:
Songs and dances, assisted by Roy Barton at the piano. 20 minutes in One. Mr. Ford's songs are good, and his dancing immense. A bit hit. Act goes to ST. LOUIS.
SAM CHIP & MARY MARBLE:
In a Dutch sketch entitled "In Old Edam". 22 minutes, full stage, own set. This is the same old act. Chip and Marble are both exceedingly clever, and the act went big. One of the hits of the show. Goes to LOUISVILLE.
EVA TANGUAY:
25 minutes in One. Advance hand. Among Miss Tanguay's songs are "The Penny Song", in which she throws Lincoln pennies to the audience, "The Tanguay Rag", "Give an Imitation of Me", "Who's Loony Now?" and "I Don't Care". Miss Tanguay worked hard both matinee and night. She is the same old Tanguay, and took both houses by storm, receiving numerous recalls. A tremendous hit. Goes to INDIANAPOLIS.
HICKEY'S COMEDY CIRCUS:
10 minutes full stage, introducing a pair of ponies, revolving table and two trick mules. The mules are the features of the show. It is a tremendous scream and sends the audience away in great shape. The best and most laughable closing act of the season. Act goes to LOUISVILLE.
B. F. KEITHOSCOPE:
Pathe's weekly. 14 minutes. Good.
GENERAL REMARKS:
Show out at 4:29 and 10:29 - long enough for our people. One of the best shows of the season. Tanguay is packing them, and the advance sale is tremendous.
