PHILADELPHIA   B. F. KEITH'S   June 26th,   2
FABLES & "TOPICS OF THE DAY" - Fables very good. "Topics only fair."
LUCAS & INEZ - (17 mins.) One of the best openers we have had for sometime. The act of the man and woman in a high class hand-balancing turn and with the assistance of a little child it is turned into a corking good comedy and surprise finish.
WALTER DANIELS & MINNA WALTERS - (15 mins.) This act is very much of the small time calibre. Daniels is simply playing up his old character change act with the assistance of a girl. At its best it is only fair.
Charles- HARRISON & DAKIN - Sylvia - (20 mins.) A very good novelty, emplyong two men and a woman and it is entirely different from anything we have played. They handle some clever travesty bits and the man has a lot of good comedy talk that brought him big laughs. A burlesque musical finish brought them a very big hand.
MULLEN & FRANCIS - (13 mins.) A local act and a very good "nut" comedy number which we have not played for sometime. They got a lot of laughs with their nonsense and closed to a very good hand.
ADELAIDE & HUGHES - (21 mins.) The first appearance here of this wonderful and popular dancing pair in sometime and they were given a great welcome. It is possible one of the best dancing acts, from a variety standpoint, that this couple have ever given and they were big applause winders. They took several extra bows at the finish of their famous doll dance and they made a little speech.
MOSS & FRYE - (13 mins.) With some new talk and two or three new songs they scored their usual big laughing and applause hit, being called back for an enchore and closed strong.
WHITING & BURT - (22 mins.) One of the best acts they have given us, freshened up with several new songs, all well done. Very well received and closed to a good hands.
BESSYE CLIFFORD - (7 mins.) One of the prettiest of the several posing acts we play. A series of very attractive designs which held the audience seated and gave us a very satisfactory closing number.
PATHE NEWS - (11 mins.) Up to the usual average with two or three expesially interesting pictures.
GENERAL REMARKS - A very good summer season show that seemed to give general satisfaction.
CUTS
DANIELS & WALTERS - Eliminate words "By God".
ADELAIDE & HUGHES -Words "Good God".
