BOSTON    KEITH'S    May 24,    0
Kinograms & Topics of the Day:-Good.
Laura & Billy Dreyer:-9 min. F.S. Spec. Boy and girl in a prettily staged dancing novelty, the man in the act is quite clever, and they closed to a fair hand.
Donald Roberts:-14 min. in 2 Spec. Roberts' voice has certainly gone back since his previous visit here. Went only fair.
Rigolletto Bros. & Co.:-21 min. in 1 and 2 Spec. These boys went over very well in this spot.
Frank Conroy & Co.:-21 min. in 1 and 2-1/2 Spec. This blackface act played the Boston this season, but the act doesn't seem to improve. Got quite a few laughs with nothing at the finish.
Tracy & McBride:-22 min. in 1 and 2 Spec. This act opened a little slow and is rather long drawn out, but their last number put them over to a good hand.
Maud Muller & Co.:-27 min. in 3 Spec. Miss Muller has a pleasing offering with an orchestra of six boys. Went over well.
McClellan & Carson:-20 min. in 1 & 4. Roller skating act with the man doing a great line of chatter, got lots of laughs and closed to a big hand.
Trixie Friganza:-18 min. in 1. Spec. This was a hard spot for Miss Friganza as most of the bill is comedy, but she did very well considering. Closed to a fair hand.
Chas. McGood & Co.;-6 min. F.S. Two men and a woman in a neat hand balancing act. All three are clever, but on account of a late bill held audience only fairly well.
CUTS:-McClellan & Carson:- Please eliminate the "Camp Devens" Gag.
Tracy & McBride: Please eliminate the line "Seat of your pants".
