Boston   Keith's   January 16, 1922
Aesop's Fable: Fair
Topics of the Day: Fair
Kate & Wiley: 8 min in 2 spec.  Man and woman in a perch act that is different. Made a good opener
Willie Solar: 7 min in 1   Seemed to please and his dance at the finish put him over to a fair hand.
Gilfoyle & Lange: 25 min in 2 spec.  The first half of this act is painful, but the changes of costume by the young lady during the final number put them over to a fairly good hand.
McConnell Sisters: 13 min in 3 spec.  Well arranged program of songs nicely staged and the girls have very good voices. Went over very well.
Leavitt & Lockwood: 33.min in 2 spec.  Good comedy singing and talking and went over big.
Gertrude Hoffmann: 39 min in full stage spec.  More real merit than any act she has presented here. All the company are exceptional dancers and the augmented orchestra put the act over to a big hand.
Al Herman: 19 min in 1   Not so good at the matinee, but after a number of  cuts the night show was much better and he closed to a big hand.
El Ray Sisters: 10 min in 1   Roller skaters with boy at the piano. Do some novel dancing on roller skates and held the audience fairly well.
Pathe News: Fairly Good
CUTS: Gilfoyle & Lange: Please eliminate expression "O my God" and reference to being early on the bill and mentioning about a wait. Also eliminate the toe nail gag.
Leavitt & Lockwood: Please eliminate business of calling Mr. Keith
Al Herman: Please eliminate any reference to Stillman or Indian Guide also line "You have to see a rabbi to get a drink" and travelling saleman story.
