PHILADELPHIA   B. F. KEITH'S   MARCH 6th,   2
FABLES & "TOPICS" -(10 mins.) Good.
ALTHEA LUCAS & CO. -(8 mins.) Very pretty ring act by man and woman and did very well in the opening spot.
ELMER EL CLEVE - (14 mins.) Did very well with his xylophone selections which he gets a lot out of through trick handling. Finished to a good hand.
HARRY WATSON, Jr. (18 mins.) This act is very funny and got a lot of laughs but there is no question but what we have played it enough.
MILLICENT MOWER - (11 mins.) This girl is a rather unusual singer and in this spot put over a good sized hit. Her numbers with the graphaphone are particularly well done and our audience liked her very much.
JIM & BETTY MORGAN - (19 mins.) This act has always been a winner here and this time went as big as ever. They have all new songs and put over each one of them for solid applause.
CANSINO BROS. & MARION WILKINS - (9 mins.) This act shows a lot of color and class besides some very good dancing and made an ideal number for this spot. Their work compares favorably with the other Cansinos and they made an excellent impression.
BELLE BAKER - (30 mins.) Equally as big a hit as last week. She changed almost her entire list of songs, using more comedy numbers, and, of course, the request selections brought her extra returns.
JOHNNY BURKE - (24 mins.) The biggest laughing hit for a single we have ever played. This does not seem to do this man more than justice for he had our house in a roar from start to finish.
ELSE & PAULSEN - (14 mins.) Having appeared in this city as an Ice Carnival feature last year this act is well known and held our audience better on Monday than any act we have had in the closing position for a long time. Their dancing on skates is spectacular and well done and they were a big hit.
PATHE NEWS - (10 mins.) Pictures up to the usual average.
GENERAL REMARKS - This was a corking show supporting Belle Baker in her second week. It had more snap and color to it than last weeks bill and the entire show went over satisfactorily.
