KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Cleveland, Ohio.
Oct 25th 1909     Ned Hasdtings.

RUSSELL & HELD.
man and woman. Time 11. 2 garden. Man dances well. Woman's song's fair. Medium set.

FRED WATSON. 
In 1. Time 10. Sings with pleasing voice several songs and tells a few college-y jokes.Gets by in this spor in good shape.

JACK HORTON & M'LLE LA TRISKA.
C.D.F. Time 16. La Triska as a "mechanical doll" is very clever and could scarcely be improved upon. She won frequent bursts of applause. Horton carries her out to the audience fo "examination" and gets screams of laughter.

WHEELER EARL and VERA CURTIS.
In 1. Time 16. Earl has a pleasing voice and gets good hands on several solos. Miss Curtis makes attractive ornamentation. Neat and quiet.

SIX MUSICAL NOSSES.
4 women, 2 men. Time 10. Special F. S. This excellent instrumental act is just 365 days better than last year. Scored tremendous hit.

ORTH & FERN.
Time 17. C.D.F. Close in 1. A somewhat changed version of "Sign That Book." The laughing hit of the bill.

THE SULLY FAMILY.
Man, woman, young woman, 2 boys. Time 20. C.D.F. Presenting "The Suit Case", by Searl Allen. The sketch is the best yet by Allen. It is a neat farce, well complicated and cleverly worked out. It seems a little too long, but is genuinely novel. After the sketch the family indulges in a dancingfest, the two boys doing clever work.

GEORGE PETTENGILL.
In 1. Time 12. Dialect songs. Mr Pettengill is a local amateur who belongs to the Hermit Club, His dialect songs are good and his closing with an imitation in costume of Eva Tanguay was a riot. His personal popularity about town went far in his success.

OPERATIC FESTIVAL.
9 women, 5 men. Time 26. Open F.S. special, to 1, close F.S. also special. The act is beautifully costumes and elaborately staged. As might be expected of a Lovenberg act, the soloists are all excellent, and the ensembles highly effective winning prolonged applause. Heriette Keyes and Henri Santrey have truly remarkable voices. The selections are from Grand Opera and the better grade of musical comedies. The finale during which paper ribbons are thrown out into the audience in keeping with the Venetian carnival illusion, is effective, novel and held the audience to the last. Applause generous throughout.
