B. F. KEITH'S Hippodrome.
Sept 19th 1910 Cleveland, Ohio. Ned Hastings.
PLOETZ LARELLA SISTERS.
5 young women. In 4 palace. Very neat contortionists. They close with an ensemble hand dance which is great.
HARRY BREEN. 
In 1. Time 14. Seemed to please thoroughly. Sings at chain lightening speed from start to finish.
LISLE LEIGH & CO.
2 women. 1 man. "Weaving The Net." Time 18. C.D.F. A return engagement. A rather improbable but highly dramatic skit. Fair.
JAMES F. KELLY & ANNIE KENT.
Open 2 spec, close in 1. Time 19. Sort of burlesque of theatrical agency in which Miss Kent does some very good work. It's a little too long drawn out.
"THE SLUMS OF PARIS."
10 men, 4 women. Open in 2 spec, goes to F.S. special. A vigorous dramatic pantomime by clever people. The story gives an insight into Apache life. The dancing of M'lle Amato is a worthy feature.
ALBERT HOLE.
In 1. Time 9. A young English lad with a truly remarkable soprano voice. His tones are clear as a bell and pleasantly lacking in falsetto so noticeable in the work of many boy sopranos. he was a terrific hit and the only fault is that he only sings three numbers.
JEAN BEDINI & ARTHUR.
3 men in an improved edition of the old juggling act. Later a numerous cast gives a screaming burlesque of "The Slums of Paris." Time 25.
JOE HART'S BATHING GIRLS. 7 girls, 1 man. Time 19. In 1, 4, 2, 4, all special. The act is wonderfully improved over the first edition of a season or two ago. The girls make a stunning appearance and the costuming is elaborate and tasteful. The final illusion (by means of a motion picture surf view) of the girls bathing is very realistic and infinitely better than the original illusion.
