BOSTON    KEITH'S    Sept. 6,    0
Kinograms & Topics of the Day:-Good.
Kitamarus Bros.:-9 min. 2-1/2 Spec. This well known jap act made a good opener.
A. C. Astor:-17 min. in 1. Didn't appear until the night show. Went over very good.
Ethel Clifton:-21 min. F.S. Novel sketch, held interest throughout, closed to a nice hand.
George Yeoman:-19 min. 2 Spec. Got a lot of laughs and closed to a good hand.
"The little Cottage":-35 min. F.S. Spec. This is much better than the average girl act, and the comedian does good work. Went over very well.
Ben Bernie:-18 min. in 1. Held this spot nicely.
"Trip to Hitland":-24 min. in 4. These boys have plenty of pep, nice program, and went over very well.
Bender & Herr:-6 min. in 1. Very good act, but had a hard time holding audience.
CUTS:- Ben Bernie:- Please eliminate "school teacher" gag, "Fireman whistling" gag, the word "damn", and "I have been taken for everything else".
Geo. Yeoman: Please eliminate reference to "Boston Policemen", "Belfast and Hell fast" gag.
