B.F. KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Ayg 22nd 1910 Cleveland, Ohio    Ned S. Hastings.
OLLIE YOUNG & APRIL.
In 1. Time 12. 2 women. Noevlty manipulators. The best part of the act is soap bubble juggling which is very fine.
BEN JOHNSON.
In 1. Time 15. Johnson is well known and popular here, facts that may explain much of the applause he got. His stories are fair. His impression of Jefferson is good, but his travesty of Richard mansfield seems in poor taste. He has not caught the vaudeville spirit of entertaining yet.
FOUR FLOODS.
F.S. special back drop. 4 men, all in comedy makeup. Very good tumbling and funny slap stick work. Good hands throughout.
SPENSER KELLY and MARION WILDER.
In 1. Time 12. good songs unusually well sung.
POTTS BROS & CO.
C.D.F. Time 17. 3 men, 1 woman. A howling farce built upon mistaken identity and close resemblance. Laughable throughout, although the woman in the cast could be replaced to advantage.
MAE MELVILLE & ROBERT HIGGINS.
In 1. Time 16. Same act of songs and patter about "let it lay." They went well and received advance applause.
CHARLES L. GILL & CO.
3 men. F.S. Interior. Time 21. A dream sketch introducing "The Devil" and "The Servant" of "The Servant In The House." Dramatic but full of preachment. Some of the lines are flat and some good. The acting is first rate.
THREE WHITE KUHNS.
In 1. 3 men. Time 14. A knockout. The men sing clever songs well and accompany their work on guitar like instruments. There is a spontaneity to the act that classes it high.
ISABEL BUTLER and EDWARD BASSETT.
F.S. special. Time 9. Neat and effective. The two do marvellously good skating on real ice.
HIPPOGRAPH.
