Boston   B. F. Keith's   Febuary 20, 1922
Aesop's Fable: Fair
Topics of the Day: Average
Wilson Aubrey Trio: 9 min in full stage   Excellent bar act with good comedy finish. Opened the show very nicely.
The Murray Girls: 13 min in 1   Harmony singing with a little comedy. Make a nice appearance and went fairly well.
Mabel Ford & Co.: 20 min in full stage spec. Miss Ford is surrounded by clever people and was a good sized hit.
Mr & Mrs Jimmie Barry: 22 min in 1 spec. Mr Barry  in the "Rube" seemed to please and got quite a few laughs. About time they presented something new.
Davis & Darnell: 14 min in 1 spec. Another repeat and did not go as well as on previous visits here.
Marion Harris: 22 min in 1 spec. Nice routine of songs and went over very good.
William Rock & Co. 28 min in full stage spec. Better material than when last seen here and the whole act was a big improvement. Went over to a good hand.
Tom Smith   20 min in 1   Nut Comedian different from the rest. Held the spot nicely and closed to a nice hand.
Lola & Senia: 13 min in full stage spec. Good dancers with a pretty setting and held the audience fairly well.
Pathe News: Good.
Cuts:
Tom Smith: Please eliminate the word "damn" from your act.
