KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
AUG 15th 1910    Cleveland, Ohio.    Ned Hastings.
ARIZONA TROUPE.
In 3 garden. 2 men, 1 woman. Time 11. Very neat. Juggling, Tumbling, dancing and hand walking.
CARL RANDALL.
In 1. Time 10. A clever juvenile working much in the style of Laddie Cliff in songs. Randall's dancing however is individual and accurate. A hit.
BASEBALLITIS.
Evers-Wisdom & Co. 2 men, 1 woman. Time 20. A rapid action farce set in the home of a "fan." The fun is chiefly rough but there are many bright lines.
OLD SOLDIER FIDDLERS.
5 old soldiers. Special camp ground scene in 4. A rousing big hit. The old fellows "fiddle" out ancient tunes and mingle with them martial airs. They had the audience standing at the close. Unique, simple, effective.
DELLA FOX.
In 1. Time 14. A very doubtful and labored start. About half way through she caught the audience and closed with a big hand. Her final success was a genuine surprise considering the cool start. Songs, chiefly in masculine attire.
ED F. REYNARD.
Time 23. F.S. Special. "A Morning in Hicksville." An elaboration of Mr Reynard's old act. Everything great. Big laugh throughout. Opens with a pretentious kinetic scenic effect.
CLIPPER QUARTETTE.
In 1. 4 men. Time 15. When they sing, they sing well. Most of the time is taken up by a Dutchman chasing a "sissy" about the stage. They were laughed at and applauded, but the act would have a more intelligent appeal if more singing was done and much of their brand of comedy eliminated.
GEORGE B. RENO & CO.
In 3 special back drop. Time 21. 4 men. Odd freaks of humanity in broad comedy military costumes roughhousing over the stage in mock military drills. A little too long drawn out. Went well for the most part.
HIPPOGRAPH.
