B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE.
BOSTON SHOW - WEEK MAY 6, 1912.    (R. G. Larsen.)
(Monday night.)
PERO and  WILSON. 9 minutes f.s. Garden. A fair opening act. Very showy. Good value.
THE HOLDSWORTHS. 12 minutes in one. Olio. Banjo playing, singing, and dancing. Woke up things pretty well in this spot.
CHARLES MACK and CO. in "Come Back To Erin.' 20 minutes f.s. Special set. An Irish sketch with an elaborate stage setting. A mixture of music, comedy, and pathos, with a little dancing and Irish atmosphere, which went very well.
LINDEN BECKWITH. 19 minutes in one. Olio. Doing an entirely different act from what she did at the Fifth Avenue, and going very big. In fact, one of the hits of the show.
BERTHA KALICH and CO. in "A Light From St. Agnes." 33 minutes f.s. Special set. While there is no question about the dramatic ability of Miss Kalich as a tragedienne, and the very excellent support of her company, the subject of her sketch is not what I consider at all suitable for a house like this, where people come to be amused. She was booked on her name, and that is all I expect to draw any money. She was put up on the bill tonight, and that helped matters, but this afternoon was enough to put a damper on any show.
LOLA MERRILL and FRANK OTTO. 19 minutes in one. Landscape. Local favorites with a great act that went big at both performances.
MME. ALASKA TECHOWS' CATS. 10 minutes f.s. Garden. An act that will go on any bill in any spot. Has a good element of comedy, and is more than worth while.
HAWTHORNE and BURT. 19 minutes in one. Special drop. Doing the same act and going first rate in this spot.
RICE, SULLY and SCOTT. 7 minutes f.s. Wood. One of the liveliest and best of the three-men-bar acts. Gave the show a good fast wind up.
CUTS. Charles Mack - "Hell." Hawthorne and Burt - "That's what he said" in petticoat story.
