BOSTON    KEITH'S    Aug. 18    0
Kinograms:-Good. Topics of the Day:-Fair.
Watson's Dogs:-[10?] min. in 3 Spec. Fair opening act.
Billy Rogers:-10 min. in 1. This man played here a few seasons back, but did not seem to get over as well this time.
Mollie Fuller & Co.:-17 min. F.S. Outside of the vamp character this sketch created but little interest. Closed to a fair hand.
Snow & Velmar:-18 min. in 1. Good talking act, but were handicapped by following so much talk. Got quite a few laughs and closed to a fair hand.
McConnell Sisters:-20 min. in 2 Spec. These girls have a good program and nice voices. It is rather a novel presentation for a singing act, using a gauze drop similar to Katherine Dana's "Fantasia". Closed to a big hand.
Al Raymond:-19 min. in 1. Same material as on his previous visit here. Held this spot nicely.
Clark & Bergman:-21 min. F.S. Spec. This well known act, assisted by the Crisp Sisters, went over very nicely at the night show, closing to a good hand.
Jimmy Lucas:-14 min. in 1. Got plenty of laughs and closed to a good hand.
Monroe & Grant:-6 min. F.S. The novel presentation of a trampoline act closed the show well.
CUTS:-Al Raymond: Please eliminate reference to "Ponzi, Harding and Cox".
Mollie Fuller: Please eliminat the line "What did she tell you for".
Clark & Bergman: Please eliminate reference to "Ponzi".
Jimmy Lucas: Please eliminate reference to "Ponzi", "Fall River line", and gag "Walked home before", and "You can't get along in New York unless you talk this way".
