CLEVELAND, O. - - KEITH'S THEATRE - - Feb. 27th, 1905.
ARMINTA & BURKE, Aerial Comedy Duo.
This act is hardly strong enough for Cleveland. There's no comedy to it at all. The man don't get a laugh during his whole act. Acrobatic stuff only fair. Time 10 minutes full stage.
MILLS & MORRIS, "The Minstrel Girls". 
These girls work in black face, and do a little talking, singing and dancing. Just a fair act. 11 Minutes in one.
SMITH & COOK, Grotesque Comedians.
This is a good act, and goes fairly well here with us with an early place on the bill. However, it is a style of an act that never goes big with my audience. Time 20 minutes full stage, finishing about 5 minutes in one.
MASON, KEELER & CO. in their sketch "Hooked by Crook".
This is a good act and known by everybody. First time in this house, and is going big. Mr. Mason's piano playing in particular, was a big hit. time 20 minutes full stage.
BROWN & NEVARRO, in Character Changes.
These two colored people are doing very well. Their stuff is practically the same as they have been doing for the past year. 12 minutes in one.
THE FADETTES WOMAN'S ORCHESTRA OF BOSTON. This is a return date at this house, having played here about six weeks ago. They're going about as well as they did at their first appearance. The program is entirely new. They are doing about 40 minutes full stage.
NORA BAYES, in Songs.
This woman is without doubt one of the best in her line. She is the hit of the bill this week. 12 minutes in one.
HERZOG'S HORSES. He has but six horses in his act, and they do nothing extraordinary. They present a nice appearance, being all black. Their trappings are nice and clean, and the act is well put on. time 12 minutes full stage.
AMERICAN BIOGRAPH. 
I am running three films this week,
The Flying Train,
August, the Monkey, and
"You Will Send Me to Bed, Eh".
None of these films are good. In fact, the poorest I've had this season.
