KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
April 4 1910 Cleveland, Ohio
Ned Hastings.
THE MACGREGORS. 2 men 1 woman. Open C.D.F. Close in 1. Time 12. Play horns and accordions well, Finish with a rousing xylophone trio.
JOE COOK & CO. 2 men, (1 black face, 1 clown comedy.) Cook dances and gets fair hand. Juggling good. He finishes with a sort circus act working a ball up an incline plain and bumping down steps. Too many kinds of entertainment for any one to stand out well.
HENRY HORTON & CO. Time 23. 2 men, 1 woman. Open, our street drop. Close F.S. setting room rural interior. "Uncle Lem's Dilemma." A very funny and well acted rural comedy with a matrimonial plot. First class throughout.
ITALIAN TRIO. 3 men. In 1. Time 12. High class operatic trio.
JAMES YOUNG & CO. 2 men 1 woman. Time 22. "Wanted-A Sister." A really clever college sketch with bright lines and laughable situations. The start is a little slow and should be cut several minutes.
PROF DUNCAN'S SCOTCH COLLIES. 9 dogs and 3 Scotchmen. Time 11. An unusually well trained group of animals performing unique tricks. Applauded from start to finish.
HOMER LIND & CO. Time 26. Open stage. To 1. Close in 3 interior, 3 men, 1 woman. Mr Lind has built up a little sketch on the theme of a Monday morning rehearsal and a long lost daughter. He finds his daughter playing in the orchestra of the theater in which he is rehearsing. while there are pathetic moments, the sketch is chiefly an agent for comedy and for Mr Lind's singing.
GUS EDWARDS. 1 woman, 2 men, 1 little boy. Time 25. Mr Edwards carries the woman for the spotlight on the box effect. The little boy comes down the aisle from among the audience and "kindly obliges" with a refrain or two. Otherwise the act is immense. Mr Edward's engaging personality and his inimitable method of exploiting his own compositions puts him down on record as one of the biggest hits of the season. His final applause was deafening.
[GAIGEDO?]. F.S. Time 10. This man defends his title in good shape as "King of the tight wire." He does some very difficult balancing and acrobatic work.
