REPORT on BOSTON SHOW (KEITH'S) for WEEK of DEC 20 '15
(R. G. Larsen.)
FRED and ALBERT  6 minutes f s  Palace  Good conventional opening act on the Roman rings.
CAITS BROTHERS  13 minutes in one  Olio  A midget and a good-sized man in a dancing act. Make their entrance through the audience. Good act.
EMERSON and BALDWIN  10 minutes f s  Special Drop  About the same act, and going as well as ever.
ARTHUR STONE and MARION HAYES in "Green Goods"  Special drops in two. A good comedy talking act in a circus scene, with Stone as a rube. Close with two songs and a dance. A very good comedy act in one.
EVEREST'S MONKEY CIRCUS  14 minutes f s  Special Set  Second visit here, and a great act for the youngsters.
MINNIE ALLEN  12 minutes in one  Special Drop  About the same act she gave us on her last visit, with an imitation of Sara Bernhardt singing "Down Among the Sheltering Palms" in French. Good.
HARRY GREEN and CO in "THE CHERRY" TREE"  35 minutes f s  C D F  This is one of the best comedy sketches we have played in a very long time. Full of bright lines, splendidly cast and played, and went very big.
KENNETH CASEY  "The Vitagraph Boy"  22 minutes in one  Olio Drop. This youngster is very versatile. He opens with a motion picture, which is about three years old, - and looks it. But when Casey comes upon the stage, he plays the piano, cornet and violin, sings and dances, and does every one of them well. Held this spot with credit.
ERNEST EVANS' SOCIETY CIRCUS  20 minutes f s  Special Set. One man and ten girls in a pretty modern dancing act. Close with a parade of the warring nations, with appropriate dances. Good act. Made an acceptable closer.
XMAS TREE and SANTA CLAUS PANTOMIME  Special Set. F.S. This annual feature drew a large number of children this afternoon, and at the close of the performance they all went on the stage and received gifts from Santa Claus.
