Boston   Keith's   Febuary 6, 1922
Aesop's Fable: Fair.
Topics of the Day: Fair;
Three Weber Girls: 9 min in 1 and 4. Very good routine of acrobatics and opened the show well.
Quixey Four: 16 min in 1   Went well in this spot, but have played everything around here many times.
The Family Ford: 10 min in 3   Got lots of laughs and closed to a fair hand.
B. C. Hilliam: 16 min in 1   Substituting for Caughn Comfort, this act was a decided hit. Hilliam at the piano assisted by Horace Ruwe, a very good tenor, stopped the show in this spot.
Swor Brothers: 19 min in 1   Same old act, but got quite a few laughs and closed to a good hand.
Bessie Clayton & Co: 41 min in full stage spec. Best act of its kind we have played for a long time. Went over big.
Wayne & Warren: 22 min in 1   Novelty talking act held this spot finely and closed to a big hand.
Fillis Family: 9 min in full stage. Good flashy closing act went well.
Pathe News: Good.
Cuts: The Family Ford: Please eliminate the expression "My God"
Quixey Four  Please eliminate "Wedding Ring" song from your set.
