BOSTON    KEITH'S    June 22,    9
Kinograms:- Interesting.
The Flying Mayos:- 6 min. f.s. Man and woman in a routine of clever trapeze stunts, went well.
The Misses Shaw & Campbell:- 15 min. in 1 Spec. A well arranged program of songs and piano, closing to a good hand.
McMahon & Diamond:- 13 min. in 1 and 1-1/2 Spec. This well known dancing act went even better than on previous visits here, closing to a big hand.
James Cullen:- 18 min. in 1. A routine of parodies and a little chatter. Went well, well handled.
Billie Reeves & Co.:-19 min. in 1 and f.s. Reeves got plenty of laughs, and closed to a fair hand.

Irene Bordoni & Lieut. Gitz-Rice:- 22 min. in  2 Spec. This combination pleased throughout, and finished to a big hand.
Burns & Frabito:- 15 min. in 1. Got lots of laughs and closed to a nice hand.

CUTS:- James H. Cullen: Please eliminate "experienced girls to trim up sailors", and "twin beds, one almost new.
Wood & Wyde: Please eliminate the word "damn", and line relative to "pinching girl in the toe.
Lieut. Gitz-Rice: Please eliminate gag "her husband is in the Dardanelles", and the expression "for God's sake".
