B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE, CINCINNATI, O.
Week of March 31, 1912.
LYNCH & ZELLER:
Club jugglers. 6 minutes in one. These two young men work very fast. Have some new and clever stunts. Went very good. Make good opener. OPEN NEXT WEEK --- FORT WORTH, TEXAS.
W. B. PATTON & CO.:
Sketch entitled "Apple Blossoms". 14 minutes, F. S. Very clever little sketch, well produced. Went good. LOUISVILLE.
BETTY WASHINGTON (of Cincinnati):
Violinist. Advance hand. 15 minutes in one. Miss Washington, in a short white frock, and long black hair hanging down her back, has the appearance of a little girl. She plays four selections. Went very good. The applause at both Sunday performance[s] was extremely cordial. this may be owing to her local popularity, but the fact remains that she is a splendid violinist. NO FURTHER BOOKINGS THAN THIS WEEK.
"PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE PRIMARY":
We are now running slides of Underwood, Clark, Wilson, Bryan, Harmon, James, Marshall and Gaynor, of the Democrats, and Cummings, Hughes, La Follette, Beveridge, Roosevelt and Taft of the Republicans. Will add this week Governor Foss, of Massachusetts. Time: 4 minutes, including our own slides announcing next week's show. This time, however, can be extended indefinitely. We are allowing about ten seconds for each slide. Still going good, and creating much interest and applause.
