B.F. KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Sept 5 1910.    Cleveland, Ohio.    Ned S. Hastings.
RIO.
F.S. Time 10. Works on rings and trazeze combination. Good act.
TOM MAHONEY.
In 1. Time 13, Sings Irish songs and tells Irish stories. He resembles and copies Walter Kelly's style. His work is fair.
[DALLERINI'S?] DOGS.
F.S. Garden. Man, woman, half a dozen dogs. Neat, new and very amusing. Good comedy throughout.
MABEL Mc CANE.
Time 17. A very pretty girl with attractive wardrobe. Sings sweetly and received generous applause.
JAMES YOUNG.
Time 14. In 3 with 3 special back drops. He gives three Shakespearian scenes. The first two are fair. He closes with Marc Anthony's funeral oration from "Julius Caesar" which is done in excellent style and wins big applause.
JARROW.
In 1. Time 16. Trickster humorist. The success of the act is in Jarrow's ability to get the audience to co-operate with him. He is energetic and bright. Went with plenty of laughs throughout.
GERTRUDE HOFFMANN'S REVUE.
12 scenes, all special, except the opening in 1. The depths range back and forth from full stage to 2 throughout the act. 12 chorus girls. 6 Cingalese men. A gentleman lady-like assistant. This is truly a pretentious offering built about Miss Hoffmann's rather unusual ability to impersonate famous stars. The most diverting part is the Kellermann burlesque which proved a scream. Miss Hoffmann's own exclusive, especially imported and personally selected stage crew handles the scenery and accessories in miserable fashion. Miss Hoffmann is magnetic, and although suffering from a cold, injected life and ginger into the feature. Her work seemed to please uniformly.
