Boston   Keith's   May 1, 1922
Aesop's Fable: Good
Topics of the Day: Fair
Van Cello & Mary: 7 min in full stage spec. Clever foot jugglers. Fine opener.
Frank Ward & Dollies: 9 min in 1 spec. Novel doll act. Seemed to please and closed to a fair hand.
Norton & Nicholson: in "A Dramatic Cartoon" 18 min in full stage. Their old sketch but pulled some laughs and a good hand.
Chas & Madeline Donbar: 17 min in 1   Man and woman animal impersonators. Did fairly well at night show.
De Lyle Alder & Co. 35 min in 1 and full stage spec. Rather clever musical comedy playlet. Good dancing and singing. Went fairly big.
Dolly Kay: 10 min in 1   Hard to get a good line on this girl as her following of luggers was very much in evidence at both shows.
W. C. Fields in "Golfing" 10 min in full stage. Great comedy skit. Went big.
Weaver Bros. 14 min in 1 spec. These well known boys did not go as well as on their first visit
Gautier's Bricklayers: 9 min in full stage spec. Good novelty dog act. Held audience well in an early show.
Pathe: Fair.

Boston   B. F. Keith's   April 10, 1922
Aesop's Fable: Average
Topics of the Day: Fair
Perez & Marguerite: 8 min in full stage   Old Fashioned juggling act and not a good opener.
Millicent Mower: 10 min in 1   This girl does a quiet refined singing act and not suitable for No. 2 spot on this bill.
Ames & Winthrop: 17 min in fill stage spec. This act is through here as a laugh getter and simply handicapped Toto who had to follow it.
ToTo: 20 min in 1 and full stage spec   This man is certainly and artist and went over exceptionally well even in this spot.
Bob La Salle: 12 min in 1   The dancing at the finish of this act put him over to a good hand.
Mildred Harris:& Co. 20 min in full stage spec. Miss Harris is well supported in this sketch and does well herself. Seemed to please especially at the matinee
White Sisters: 15 min in 1   Probably two of the tiniest girls we have ever played in this house and they certainly are clever and went over big.
"Doc" Baker in "Flashes" 19 min in full stage spec. Fast moving girl act with some lighning changes by Mr. Baker. Held audience finely closing
CUTS: Bob La Salle; Please eliminate "Hula Hula" song from your act.
Millicent Mower: We could not hear you from the back of the audience while you were making your annoucement previous to your graphone selection.
Pathe News: Good.
