BOSTON    KEITH'S     Jan. 5,    20
Kinograms:-Good.  Topics of the Day:-Fair.
Margot Francois & Partner:-9 min. F.S. A rather novel acrobatic act with lady working on stilts. Nice opener.
Libonati:-18 min. in 1. Went over very big.
Johnnie Ford & Girls:-23 min. in 1 and F.S. Spec. A neat combination of singing, piano playing, and dancing. Makes a good flash, and went over pretty well at the evening show.
Duffy & Sweeney:-14 min. in 1. Big laughing hit.
Claud & Fannie Usher:-28 min. in 3. These well known artists presented one of the best sketches we have ever played, both doing excellent work. Closed to a good hand.
Wilton Sisters:-19 min. in 1. Clever girls, and were a decided hit.
"Ye Song Shop":-23 min. in 1 and F.S. A clever presentation of old and new songs with some good dancing, and prettily staged. Went over very well.
Herbert Clifton:-13 min. in 1. Got a lot of laughs and closed to a good hand.
Sylvia Loyal & Co.:-10 min. F.S. Spec. Did very well closing the show.
CUTS:- "Ye Song Shop": Please eliminate "shimmy" movement entirely, from your act.
Johnnie Ford & Girls: Please eliminate "shimmy" movement entirely, also lines relative to "children" in the "Ask Dad" song.
REMARKS: Libonati did not appear in the afternoon on account of train delay, and we substituted Marshall and Covert from the Boston Theatre, who did very well in his spot.
