PHILADELPHIA    B. F. KEITH'S    JUNE 21st,    20
KINOGRAMS & "TOPICS OF THE DAY" - GOOD.
RUSSELL & DEVITT - (7 mins.) These two boys have a very good routine of dancing and acrobatics and did exceptionally well for an act of this kind in the opening spot.
DAVIGNEAU'S CELESTIALS - (13 mins.) A very good novelty containing songs, instrumental music and some dancing by Chinese. Got over in very good shape, closing strong.
LcLALLEN & CARSON - (20 mins.) - A very good comedy skating turn by a man and woman. The man is an excellent skater and helps his act with a lot of comedy chatter which he handles for a lot of laughs. Closed to a good hand.
VINIE DALY - (14 mins.) One of the big applause hits of the bill. She is doing a little more dancing this year than last. Her act brought her frequent outbursts of applause and her singing was also very well received.
HARRY CARROLL & CO. - One of the best acts that has ever played this house and started its second week just as big, if not bigger, than the first. (44 mins.)
CLAUDIA COLEMAN - (18 mins.) Following the headliner she was a big hit. Has a lot of clever comedy material and puts it over in great shape. Got a lot of laughs and closed to a big hand.
ROSCOE AILS - (21 mins.) The jazz music and dancing in this act furnished an excellent next to closing act on this bill, being a contrast to the Harry Carroll revue. The whole act was a big applause winner. It closed very strong and got an extra hand for a little comedy bit in one.
THREE REGALS - (9 mins.) This is a very good strength act in a novel setting. Very showy routine of stuff, all well done. Made a very good closing number.
GENERAL REMARKS - We have another great show this week surrounding the Harry Carroll act which was a riot last week and will do just as big this week. The whole bill went over fine with a capacity audience in front and against the handicap of warm weather.
