B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE.
BOSTON SHOW - WEEK APRIL 1 - 1912.     (R. G. Larsen.)
(Monday night show.)
THREE WESTON SISTERS. 13 minutes f.s. Music room. A trio of nice-appearing girls who have a very fair routine of cello, violin, and cornet numbers. Hardly an ideal act for this spot, but they got away with it in very good shape at both shows to-day.
POLZIN BROTHERS. 6 minutes in one. Garden. Acrobatic tumblers, somewhat after the style of Work & Ower. This is a crackerjack act of its kind. The work is fast, some of the men's tricks are really out of the ordinary, and they inject quite a bit of comedy into their work. Closed strong. Could easily go further down on a bill.
BILLY K. WELLS. 10 minutes in one. Olio. Wells got his audience laughing in good shape with his Hebrew stump political speech, and closed very well.
CHARLES B. LAWLOR and DAUGHTERS. 23 minutes f.s. Special set. With short close in one. Olio. These character singers have a number of good songs, and they got them over in excellent shape. Went well at both shows to-day.
MIDDLETON-SPELLMYER CO. 14 minutes f.s. Special cyclorama. In "A Texas Wooing." These people have a very pretty little playlet, with a love story running through it, and Middleton introduces a solo that went very big to-day. Closed strong at both performances.
MARY ELIZABETH. 14 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. Miss Elizabeth's songs and monologue were very well received, and she got quite a number of laughs. Closed well.
"IN 1999." With Florence Nash, Joseph Jefferson, and Minnette Barrett. 18 minutes f.s. Colonial C.D.F. This comedy seemed to strike the fancy of our audiences here to-day. Particularly the feminine portion of the house, and it got any number of laughs. Closed strong.
ARTHUR DEAGON. 21 minutes in one. Street. Deagon has a very good line of stuff, most of which is new, and he held this difficult spot in excellent shape. Closed big.
WILLE BROTHERS. 13 minutes f.s. Palace. The greatest equilibristic act we have ever played. Some of these men's feats are almost incredible. They hold the audience in remarkably well, and proved a splendid closer.
CUTS. Arthur Deagon gag about church window inscription and "Held."
Billy K. Wells - "Hellaware."
