B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE.
BOSTON SHOW - WEEK JUNE 17, - 1912.    (R. G. Larsen.)
(Monday night show.)
THE ZERALDAS. 9 minutes f.s. Cut Garden. Fair opening act. Man and a woman with balancing. Woman doing the understanding.
MANNING and FORD. 8 minutes in one. Olio. Two rather neat boy dancers who sing a little, and finish lively.
RAWSON and CLAIRE. 16 minutes f.s. Special set. A very attractive boy Rube character, and a girl, who looks rather well-developed for her age. A very good act with singing, talking, and some light comedy, but rather quiet.
"OLD HOMESTEAD" OCTETTE. 22 minutes in two. Close in one if necessary. Special cut drop. This is the original Denman Thompson double quartette, dressed as Rubes with a special scene in two. A lot of up-to-date songs. Went very well to-day for a first performance. Got a number of encores.
ALF GRANT and ETHEL HOAG. 20 minutes in one. Street. Considerable new stuff since last here, and went first rate.
SIX BROWN BROTHERS. 19 minutes f.s. close in one. Palace. One of the best musical acts we have played in a long time, with a very good black-face comedian, the saxaphone feature being particularly strong. Went big at both shows.
COOK and LORENZ. 17 minutes in two and one. Opening and closing in one. Palace drop. Same old line of stuff, and going as well as ever.
WISH WYNNE. 20 minutes f.s. Open and close in one. One of the most accomplished artistes we have ever had in the house. With her entire program cleaned up so there could be no possible objection. The audience liked her without showing any great enthusiasm.
CHAPMAN and BERUBE. 17 minutes f.s. Garden. A splendid ladder balancing act, good enough to close a summer show.
CUTS: Grant and Hoag - gag about "Old Soldier Fiddler running away with a girl."
Cook and Lorenz - gag about "wife in bath tub."
