PHILADELPHIA   B. F. KEITH'S  AU[Illegible]
AESOP'S FABLES & "TOPICS OF THE DAY" - 11 mins. Fables [illegible] laughter. Topics" fair average.
BELLIS DUO - 6 mins. in Palace in 4. Man and woman in conver[illegible] routine on the rings, finishing with the man on trapeze suspended from the woman's teeth. A satisfactory opener.
BOYLE & BENNETT - 8 mins. Olio in 1. A well-known dancing duo [which?] scored in this position.
ETHEL MC DONOUGH - 18 mins. Special set in 2. Another familiar offering. Each number pleased and she closed to a good hand.
MORAN & MACK - 16 mins. in one. Their talk routine is very funny and their comedy boxing finish created roars of laughter and brought forth a generous hand.
MISS HARRIET REMPEL & CO. in "The Heart of a Clown" - 21 mins. Special set in 4. One woman, two men and a midget. An interesting story that held attention. Miss Rempel very cleverly portrays two characters-viz: an Italian girl and an old lady. The comedy is handled by the midget and provoked many hearty laughs. The stage setting is unique. The act did very well here.
