KEITH'S THEATRE, CLEVELAND, OHIO.
WEEK OF OCTOBER 24, 2904.

THE ORPHEUM SHOW/

Albertus & Millar:
A comedy juggling act. Miss Millar is a very good cornet soloist. The club juggling is only fair, but some of the comedy is good. Full stage 14 minutes.

Jack Gardener:
A singer of parodies in black face. A fair act, and all right for number two on the bill.

Smirl & Kessner:
In a comedy acrobatic act called the "Bell-boy and the maid". This is a good act of its kind. The acrobatic end of it good. Dancing fair. Encore in one with the dog is very good, giving the act a strong finish. Time, 17 minutes, with 4 minutes in one.

Frank & Jen Latona:
A very good musical act. Mr. Latona in his tramp makeup gets quite a few laughs. His wife, Jen Latona is a very good piano player, and her selections go big. She is also a good singer. Time of act about 30 minutes, of which fully 10 minutes is in one. The act is a big hit here.

Boston Bros.
A good acrobatic act. We have had Alli's Arabs here, so that the others in the same business have a hard time to make good. Act runs about 8 minutes.

McIntyre & Heath:
This act is familiar with everybody, so a review is unnecessary.

Clarice Vance:
A singer of Coon Songs. Her acts goes very good, in fact, Cleveland audiences always take kindly to her style of work. She is really the first Coon singer we have had in the house since it has been opened, consequently she has had everything her own way. She went so strong in the afternoon that I was obliged to put her down in the place of Jack Gardener. Act, 12 minutes in one.

Spessady's Bears:
A very good act, in fact one of the best I have ever played. It certainly creates a lot of talk, and the audience seemed to enjoy it very much. Time 14 minutes full stage.

American Biograph:
We are showing but one picture this week, called "The Lost Child", which is very good and full of comedy.
