Boston   Keith's   May 29   2
Aesop's Fables: Very Good
Topics of The Day: Good
Paul Gordon & Ame Rica: 13 min F.S. Novelty Bicycle act. Have some good stunts and opened the show well.
Jack Joyce: 15 Min, in "One"  This boy always pleases here in Boston and went over very well.
Vokes & Don: 12 Min, in 1-1/2 Spec. Well known dog act went well.
Crawford & Broderick: 14 Min, in "One"  Favorites and a good sized hit.
Ona Munson & Co: 21 Min, in F.S. Spec. First time here and moved up from closing, she went over very good indeed.
Jones & Jones: 18 Min, in "One"  At the matinee following Crawford & Broderick, this act did not get over, but at the night show they got a lot of good laughs, but the finish is weak.
Elsa Ryan & Co: 19 min, in "Two"  Good act, well played and went over very nicely.
John Steel: 24 min, in "One"  Just as big closing the show as in any other spot. And could easily have done more numbers but his voice was a little tired.
