B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - BOSTON - WEEK MARCH 17TH, 1913.
(R. G. Larsen.)

CAVANA DUO. 13 minutes f.s. Special drop. A fair wire act with a  little comedy, some harp playing and dancing. Opened the show all right.
DOLLY MORRISSEY. 10 minutes in one. Olio drop. Single woman singer. Makes four changes of costume, all very stunning. Filled this spot very acceptably.
FRANCES STEVENS and CO. in "A Country Bride." 20 minutes f.s. C.D.F. Tapestry. A rather novel comedy built around an original idea. Got a lot of laughs and closed well.
THOMAS A. EDISON KINETOPHONE. 14 minutes in one. Picture sheet. Presenting "Her Redemption" and The Miser Scene from "The Chimes of Normandy." Fourth week of these pictures. This week's release seemed to please better than any we have shown yet, with the possible exception of the opening week.
POLZIN BROTHERS. 7 minutes in one. Garden. A great acrobatic act that sent things along at a fast clip.
MABEL and DORA FORD. 15 minutes f.s. Landscape and garden in one. Close palace in two. A splendid dancing act. Introduce a Greek dance, the Virginia Essence, and clogg dancing. A tremendous hit at both performances today.
BISON CITY FOUR. 17 minutes in one. Special drop. One of the best comedy quartettes we play. Went very big.
ROYAL KITALURA JAPANESE TROUPE.  12 minutes f.s. Special tapestry cyclorama. Without question the most beautiful Oriental act we have ever played. The stage setting is a magnificent piece of embroidery, and they carry everyting complete, including ground cloth. Some great acrobtic, juggling, and equilibristic work. A big hit.
CARK HENRY and NELLIE FRANCES. 20 minutes in one. Street. Held this hard spot in excellent shape. Got lots of laughs and closed strong. 
WILLIAM BURRESS' "NEW SONG BIRDS." 30 minutes f.s. Special set. One of the greatest singing acts ever in vaudeville. Has a very good line of comedy and went over big at both performances to-day.
