BOSTON    KEITH'S    Jan. 19,    20
Kinograms & Topics of the Day:-Up to the average.
Jim & Myrtle Dunedin:-11 min. F.S. Good bicycle act with a good punch for finishing trick. Went well.
Pressler, Klaiss & Saxe:-16 min. in 1. This act is very ordinary throughout, but they have an exceptionally good closing number that brought a big hand.
Nina Payne & Co.:-18 min. in 1-1/12 and F.S. Spec. Miss Payne has a prettily staged act and a program of very pleasing dances. Closed to a good hand.
Kranz & La Salle:-13 min. in 1. These boys put over a number of songs to good applause, and then surprised all with a clever routine of dancing. Were a hit.
Valerie Bergere & Co.:-27 min. F.S. and 1 Spec. The present act of Miss Bergere's is entirely different from anything she has shown here before, but is well handled and seemed to please throughout. Closed to a nice hand.
Friscoe:-18 min. in 1-1/2 Spec. This boy is a very good showman and put over his xylophone act in fine shape. Closed to a good hand.
Miss Juliet:-29 min. in 3. Miss Juliet does some very clever work in impersonations. Went over very good.
Victor Moore & Co.:-23 min. in 1 and F.S. This old act was apparently new to the present day patrons, got lots of laughs and closed to a good hand.
Curzon Sisters:-6 min. F.S. A quiet closing act, although the girls do very nice work in mid-air. Held the audience fairly well.
REMARKS:- Jim and Myrtle Dunedin did not appear at matinee on account of delay in baggage.
CUTS:- Friscoe: You must eliminate all calling for numbers from the audience.
Kranz & La Salle: Please eliminate reference to "Congress" in one of your songs.
Victor Moore:- Please eliminate the word "God" from your act.
Motion Picture Operator: Please eliminate the subject in reference to "Republicans won the War" in "Topics of the Day".
