KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
March 7th 1910
Ned Hastings.
LINA PANTZER. 3 palace. 7 min. Acrobatic and novelty dancing on a wooden spade, the tight wire and the floor. Some very difficult work. Didn't get the applause she deserved.
GEORGE AUSTIN MOORE. 1. 23 min. Good singing voice and pleasing personality. Comedy rather weak.
"HIGH LIFE IN JAIL." 6 men. time 22. F.S. special jail interior. A very clever travesty about the easy times enjoy in jail by rich prisoners. Many very bright and original lines which won quick applause. Novel, entertaining and well acted.
WORLD & KINGSTON.
did not appear.
LILLIAN HERLEIN. Open in 2. Close in 2 1/2 special bathing beach with wave effect. Time 21. Very attractive woman, songs, and wardrobe. She sings with vim and "gets over" in fine fashion. Unquestionably a hit at the Monday matinee.
EDWARD ABELES AND HIS CO. Time 14. Interior in 3. 3 men. A distinct novelty sketch. The story is of a dumb Italian boy who clears himself of the suspicion of having committed murder by a pantomimic rehearsal of the incidents of the crime which he goes over in the district attorney's office. The sketch at first is a trifle "talky" and lacks action. However upon Abeles' entrance the audience sits up and is intensely entertained by the star's fine work. Several curtain bows.
CUNNINGHAM & MARION. In 1. 2 men. Talking acrobatic comedians. They take some amusing tumbles, twists and springs,-some very difficult. They sandwich these with a good line of nonsense. A fair hit.
APDALE'S ANIMALS. F.S. Time 13. Man, woman assistant. Dogs, Monkeys, Bears. A good animal act with mostly novel stunts.
HIPPOGRAPH.
