KEITH'S THEATRE. CLEVELAND.

12 NAVAJO GIRLS.

In their melange of music, dancing and instrumentation. In the present shape, this act is not a big succes s. Yesterday was the opening performance and it went very draggy. There are opportunities of making a good act out of it but it will take quite a little time to whip it into shape. It is strictly a musical act composed of two violin solos, one cello solo, some singing and a little dancing and finish up with a brass band medley. There are two solos in that, a trombon e solo and cornet solo. Do not think this act will make the hit that the Vassar Girls did, but I believe that with proper care and attention, a good act can be made out of it. It is at least a novel act and the brass band finale is quite acceptable, the playing being rather good for ladies. They have a nice appearance opening and closing in full stage.

THE BIOGRAPH. 

Owing to the length of the program, we are using but one picture entitled, " A Day At Coney Island" which is a very good film, full of comedy and goes big with the audience.
