Page 48

Boston   B. F. Keith's   February 27, 1922
Aesop's Fable: Best up to date and received some good laughs.
Topics of the Day: Better than usual and kept audience in good humor.
The Stanleys: 10 min in full stage. Two men in an exceptional handbalancing and acrobatic act. Excellent opener.
Russell & Devitt: 8 min in 1   Acrobatic dancers. Went over well.
MISS LEITZEL: 9 min in full stage. Allowing for three sights acts Miss Leitzel did well. She does some great ring and aerial work.
Elinore & Williams: 19 min in 1 and 2. Matinee only fair. Evening much better but not as well as on previous visits.
Florence Nash & Co. 17 min in full stage. A typical small time sketch and created but little interest. Might appeal to the Bronx.
Florence Walton & Co. 19 min in full stage spec. Modern dancing, nicely staged and went over very good. Man violinist in this act shared honors with Miss Walton.
Flanagan & Morrison: 19 min in 1 and full stage spec. This is certainly a novel talking act and went over very well.
Jack Norworth: 25 min in 1   Best routine of songs he has had for a long time and went over very good. Miss Adelphi the pianist made an able assistant.
Cevene Troupe: 9 min in full stage spec. Five people in a very clever wire act, with a novel and pretty stage setting. Held audience finely.
Pathe News: Good.
CUTS: Elinore & Williams: Please make the following eliminations. "Any objection to children"aint you awful""Follow the scent, I've had enough"
Florence Nash & Co: Please eliminate reference to Red Necktie also line "Grabbed her in the grape arbor"
Flanagan & Morrison: Please do not mention Mr Grady's Name.
SUMMARY  This show contains five sight acts and two comedy acts in a bill of nine acts.
