BOSTON    KEITH'S    May 10,    0
Kinograms:-Good. Topics of the Day:-Fair.
Alanson:-8 min. in 2-1/2 Spec. Hand balancing act with a novelty setting, only fair opener.
Mason & Forrest:-15 min. in 1. This boy and girl have personality and good program of songs and piano numbers. Went well.
Sam Liebert & Co.:-30 min. F.S. An old sketch, got quite a few laughs and closed to a fair hand.
George MacFarlane:-14 min. in 1. Mr. McFarlane is singing better than at any previous visits here. Went over very good.
The Mijares & Co.:-12 min. in 1 and F.S. Two men in an exceptional wire walking act in pantomime sketch form. Best we have ever had in this line. Were a hit.
Morris & Campbell:-19 min. in 1. Just as big as ever. Lots of laughs, closed to a good hand.
Anatol Friedland & Co.:-30 min. F. S. Spec. As a so-called girl act this is far above anything we have played. Was very entertaining and went over big.
Harry Hines:-17 min. in 1. This well known comedian held the spot finely, closed to a big hand.
The Earles:-5 min. in 1-1/2 Spec. Trapeze act in a novel setting, closed the show pretty well.
CUTS:-Morris & Campbell:- Please eliminate the line "My father's on to those tricks".
Harry Hines: Please eliminate reference to "playing Lowell for a cut" and "Lester Sheehan" and "Governor Edwards".
REMARKS: Anatol Friedland & Co. were obliged to play the matinee in street clothes on account of the baggage not arriving on time.
