BOSTON    KEITH'S    July 19,    0
Kinograms & Topics of the Day:- Just about the usual interest and comedy.
Bert & Lottie Walton:-10 min. 1-1/2 Spec. This couple make a neat appearance and do some rather good step dancing. Closed nicely.
Davis & Pelle:-6 min. in 1. These two men do a remarkable hand to hand balancing act, work fast, and received an unusually large hand for this style of act.
Billy Arlington & Co.:-20 min. F.S. Mr. Arlington, assisted by two men and a woman, has a burlesque routine with talk and music which got quite a few laughs and closed well.
Edna Aug:-15 min. in 1. Miss Aug did three character studies which did not go over and received a very poor hand at the finish.
Carlos Sebastian & Myra Sisters:-17 min. F.S. Spec. Mr. Sebastian, assisted by the Myra Sisters in songs, dances and violin playing, has a well staged and very pleasing offering. These are two clever girls, and the act went over nicely.
Mel Klee:-13 min. in 1. this man does a black-face act almost exactly like that of Al Herman only not so well done. Went only fair.
Stella Mayhew & Billie Taylor:-19 min. F. S. Miss Mayhew and Mr. Taylor are doing their usual act, and went over nicely.
A. Robins:-8 min. in 1. Mr. Robins does imitations of musical instruments in a very novel manner, getting a few laughs. Closed to a fair hand.
Beeman & Grace:-10 min. F.S. This is a versatile couple doing musical work and then roller skating which makes a novel and good closing act.
CUTS:- Mel Klee: Kindly omit use of Mr. Keith's name, also any remarks directed to the audience.
REMARKS:- This bill altogether didn't play particularly well, and has not any semblance of a real punch.
