KEITH'S HIPPODRONE
Cleveland, Ohio.
Nov [November] 29th 1909 Ned S. Hastings.

"THE DAYS OF '49" Local spectacle.

KRONEMAN BROS.
2 men. In 1. Time 10. Comedy acrobats, also head and hand balancers. Good straight work and good comedy finish.

SAMMY BURNS & ALICE FULTON
In 1. Time 14. A neat hardworking couple of pleasing appearance. Eccentric dancing very catchy and original. There is something decidedly distinctive about the act that makes it get over in great shape.

HOWARD & COLLINSON TRIO.
F.S. special. 2 men, 1 woman. Time 10. Presenting a "rough house", but highly funny skit entitled, "A Piece of Dresden China", in which, the woman, a very graceful dancer, plays a mechanical doll. There is a refreshing originality about even the broadest comedy which becomes open slap stick at times. The audience screamed with delight at times.

ELIZABETH MURRAY.
In 1. Time 14. A distinct success in Irish and Negro dialect songs.

T. ROY BARNES & BESSIE CRAWFORD.
Open C.D.F., close in 1. Time 19. Presenting their familiar act, "The Fakir and The Prima Donna." Barnes continues his tactics of "kidding" the audience. Much that he says borders on indecency. Some had to be cut. Miss Crawford is pleasing ornamentation.

THE VIVIANS.
Man and woman. F.S. with abundance special [special] apparatus. Time 16. Highly interesting and amusing exhibition of sharpshooting. They have numerous "stunts" which bring rounds of applause. A decided hit.

NAT M. WILLS.
In 1. Time 28. The individual hit of the show. In spite of the fact that he is using hit [his] time honored material in the main, with flased [flashed] of new lines at rare intervals, he kept the audience roaring throughout.

THE CARMOS.
1 man, 2 woman [women]. C.D.F. 12 min. Highly skillful juggling and balancing work. A big hot.
