BOSTON    KEITH'S    Jan. 26,    20
Kinograms & Topics of the Day:- Good.
Peggy Greman & Brother:-9 min. F.S.: Spec. This couple do some clever stunts on the ladders, but they close to only a fair hand.
Murray Sisters:-12 min. in 1. Evidently owing to the early spot on the bill these girls went only fair.
McDevitt-Kelly & Quinn:-22 min. F.S. It is some time since we have played this trio. They got quite a few laughs and closed to a good hand at the night show.
Ann Gray:-13 min. in 1. This well known harpist and singer has a nicely arranged program, but went only fair.
"The Girlies Club":-33 min. F.S. Spec. The comedy in this act is above the average for this style of girl act and seemed to please throughout. Closed to a fair hand.
Ed Ford:-16 min. in 1. Mr. Ford is a very clever showman and held this spot pretty well with his comedy facial expressions and a couple of good recitations.
Jean Adair & Co.:-29 min. F.S. Spec. This is a great sketch, well handled and went over in fine shape. Closed to a big hand.
Margaret Young:-19 min. in 1. This girl has some great material and certainly knows how to put it over, bordering on the cabaret style. Went big.
Delmore & Lee:-13 min. F.S. Spec. This act has been seen here on a number of occasions with their collapsible ladder, and held the audience only fairly.
CUTS:-Peggy Breman & Bro. Please eliminate the word "dirt" from your act.
Murray Sisters: Please eliminate the word "God" from your act.
Margaret Young: Please eliminate the line in one of your songs in reference to "Congress".
Kinograms: Please eliminate subject in regard to the "War Medals".
