Boston   B. F. Keith's   March 10, 1922
Aesop's Fable: Not as good as the last two or three
Topics of the Day: Not up to the average
Ben [Fever?]: 11 min in 4   Comedy bicycle act made a good opener.
Furman & Nash: Good routine of songs and went over very well.
Eva Shirley & Band. 23 min in full stage spec. Best jazz orchestra we have played and Miss Shirley put her songs over nicely. This act was a hit.
Runaway Four: 6 min in 1 and full stage. Fast comedy and acrobatics. Went over very big.
McLaughlin and Evans: 18 min in 1 spec. Good character skit and closed to a fairly good hand.
Stars of Yesterday: 26 min in 1 and full stage spec. No great enthusiasm but the act went over in good style on its merits.
Bailey & Cowan: 19 min in 1 spec. Well known team held this spot finely and closed to a good hand.
Riggs & Witchie: 21 min in full stage spec. Same act they have been playing for some time. Held audience fairly well.
Pathe News: Interesting
CUTS: Mc Laughlin & Evans: Please omitt word "Hell" in your act.
