Boston   B. F. Keith's   March 13, 1922
Aesop's Fable: Well received
Topics of the Day: About the average
Loyals Dogs: 9 min in full stage. Well known dog act made a good opener.
Jack Osterman: 13 min in 1   Mr. Osterman could hardy be heard on account of a bad throat. Did very well considering.
Gus Voyer in "Marry Me": 22 min in full stage spec. One of the best acts of its kind that we have played. Clean wholesome comedy and went over very good.
Chas Olcott & Mary Ann. 27 min in 1 spec. Went over better than ever and were an applause hit.
Beaumont Sisters: 15 min in 3   Held interest and their closing number put them over to a good hand.
Well, Virginia & West: 15 min in 1   Changed to this spot for the night show, this act went over big. The boy's eccentric and Russian dancing is really wonderful.
Clara Morton: 15 min in 1 and 2. This girl tried to break in two new numbers at the matinee and flopped   With her regular program for the night show she held this difficult spot finely. Closed to a good hand.
Crane Wilbur & Martin Mansfield: 19 min in 2 spec. Good fast skit with plenty of comedy well played and closed to a good hand.
Niobe: 10 min in 1 spec   Held the audience intact closing the show
Pathe. Good.
Cuts: Wells Virginia & West: Please eliminate kick in the seat of the trousers.
Seed & Austin: Please eliminate reference to "Fairy stories" and looking at red necktie.
Beaumont Sisters: Please eliminate line "Oh my God"
Chas Olcott & Mary Ann: Please eliminate line "Show woman's perogitive" also the word "Hell"
Marry Me: Please eliminate line "She has a friend who has a husband, she doesn't need one"
Jack Osterman: Please eliminate line "I'm walking back from one now" also reference to "Apple to keep the doctor away".
Wilbur & Mansfield: Please eliminate line "Father was so secretive" and word "God"
Remarks: The running order of this show with Wells Virginia & West following See & Austin and Clara Morton breaking in two new numbers was the cause of hurting a bill that should have been the talk of the town with our Monday Matinee audience.
Seed & Austin: Insert after Wilbur & Mansfield   15 min in 2 spec. Big hit in this spot.
