B.F. KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Oct 3rd 1910    Cleveland, Ohio.    Ned Hastings.
CLAUDE M. ROODE.
F.S. Garden. Time 10. Slack wire walker. Good but not great.
R.A.C. TRIO.
3 men. In 1. Time 16. Pleasing rag time singers.
WALTER SCHRODE & LIZZIE MULVEY.
C.D.F. Time 12. "A Theatrical Agency." Part excellent, part very slow, old fashioned and poor. Dancing good and a fast finish.
LINDEN BROCKWITH.
In 1. Time 12. Charming stage appearance. Her work excellent. Big applause.
EXPOSITION FOUR.
Open C.D.F. Close in 1. Time 17. 4 men. An old style act in which the men do a lot of varied work and none of it very well. They just "get by" with much of their material. Instrumental, dances, songs and comedy. A series of rapid changes form a feature.
AUGUSTUS NEVILLE & CO.
8 men, 1 woman. F.S. Interior. "Politics and Petticoats." Time 16. Rather novel plot well acted. Met an average reception from the audience.
LUCIANA LUCCA.
In 1. Time 8. A young Italian singer with a "double voiced Tenor." He sings like a high soprano and then descends rapidly to baritone. His voice has been excellently trained. Somewhat of a novelty.
MASTER GABRIEL & CO.
3 men, 2 women and Gabriel. "Little Tommy Tucker." Here is an act that we have spend much money in advertising as new. We have been lead to believe that Gabriel had something new. It is precisely the same thing in plot, lines and situations as "Auntie's Visit" which we played some months ago, the only change being in the fact that Gabriel does not wear a "Buster Brown" costume. This unintended mis-representation on our part will undoubtedly injure business. Not that the act is without merit, but all out patrons know it by heart.
