B.F. KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Feb 20th 1911--Cleveland, Ohio--H.A. Daniels.
KING BROS.
In 3 palace, plush back drop. Time 7. 2 men. Hand balancing. A fair act lacking snap.
GOODWIN & ELLIOTT
Man and woman. Time 14. In 2 special street. Trick piano playing by the man in clever. Woman an acceptable foil. A few bright jokes. Close to a big hand with a clever impression of Paderewski.
KARL EMMY.
Did not arrive in time for matinee.
SMYTHE & HARTMAN.
In 1. Time 12. A colorless singing and talking act with no feature to distinguish it from 500 others, of like kind. They got a fair hand at close by a little good dialogue.
MARION GARSON & CO.
3 men, 1 woman. Time 22 C.D.F. "The Belle of Seville." This is a mixture of drama and musical comedy. Only mildly interesting in plot, which is very conventional. Miss Garson is charming and sings well. One of her men also has a fine voice. The third is no good and the fourth bellows and strikes more flat tones than I believed it possible for the human voice to do. A bright little dancing number toward the close wins a good hand. Miss Garson alone "in one" would be better, i think.
BURR McINTOSH & CO.
2 men, 1 woman. Time 10. "The Ranchman." An extremely well written and convincing little drama of western life, into which comedy is legitimately introduced. A big success.
NAT M. WILLS.
In 1. time 20. Wills has entirely new material. He kept the audience laughing from start to finish.
CHARLES AHEARB TROUPE.
4 men, 1 woman. 2 scenes F.S. with chance of special back drop. The new act follows somewhat the general plan of the old one, but there is so much new material introduced that the entire impression is novel. It is screamingly funny and proved a great hit. Time 11.
NAT BRAHAM'S EDUCATED FLEAS.
Foyer attraction and a good one.
Photoplane Daylight Motion views.
