KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
FEB 7th 1910
Cleveland, Ohio
Ned Hastings.
[MISKEL?]-hunt-miller. 2 men, 1 woman. Instrumentalists. C.D.F. Time 11. Woman does pianologue with fair, very low, voice, almost basso. The men are fair musicians and play a number of instruments. The act just got by.
LYLIAN TYCE. In 1. Time 10. Sings Irish songs. After a very poor start she gets going well and ends with the audience with her applauding vigorously.
RUBY RAYMOND TRIO. In 1. time 13. 1 woman, 2 men. A high class dancing act, including buck, eccentric and acrobatic steps. The eccentric dancer is very fine.
W.C. FIELDS. 1 man assistant. Open F.S. Palace. Close in 1. Time 20. This clever juggler made his accustomed hit. Comedy great. Some new material.
NANBO TROUPE. In 3. 5 Japanese. Time 9. They do neatly the conventional line of Japanese work. They finish with one man walking on his head along a table and coming down steps in this manner. First rate.
EDNA PHILLIPS & CO. C.D.F. Time 15. 2 women, 3 men. Comedy sketch entitled, "Lost-A Miss." The plot is novel. The sketch jumps along in lively fashion to the tune of many laughs. It is bright and active. Nothing great but a good laugh getter.
HORACE WRIGHT and RENE DEITRICH. In 1. time 17. Wright has a pleasing voice. He should eliminate his efforts to displace Caruso. Miss Deitrich has a very sweet and powerful voice. She is the big feature of the act and acquits herself in effective fashion throughout.
BOWERS, WALTERS, & CROKER. Open F.S., Close in 1. Time 13. This funny acrobatic and dancing act scored a big laughing success at the Monday matinee.
BUCKNER. F.S. Time 16. 2 assistants. The biggest frost of the season. With a stage full of imposing apparatus, Buckner comes out and stalls about mysteriously. Then he goes up an inclined ladder and rides down. This thrilling event did not bring a single hand. Then he does a little work picking up a handkerchief while balancing himself on the wheel. The applause was not deafening. Then he rides down a few steps, without creating a riot. Finally he mount a tower and after stalling for about five minutes he bumps down on a unicycle a series of steps set about three feet apart,-down to the stage level. He closes with a little weak comedy consisting of jumping over six prostrate stagehands on a unicycle. The act is no headliner and does no justify any exceptional billing. Buckner may have been a sensation at the New York Hippodrome (as he asserts), but he was far from one at the Cleveland Hippodrome.
