B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - BOSTON - WEEK MAY 5, 1913. 

(R. G. Larsen.)

THOMAS A. EDISON KINETOPHONE. 15 minutes special sheet in one. "The Hedstrongs" and "A Few Shamrocks from Ireland." One of the best we have had.

JOHN HIGGINS. 9 minutes f.s. Garden. Champion jumped, who does a number of difficult stunts gracefully, to big applause.

CAITS BROTHERS. 9 minutes in one. Street. Man and a midget. Great dancers who worked up to a good finish.

CLARA INGE. 14 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. Starting with a straight number, made several changes of costume, and finished very strong.

GRAHAM, DENT and CO. in "The Packing Day." 17 minutes f.s. Dark tapestray [tapestry] C.D.F. A comedy sketch about two people trying to catch a train, with some of the comedy forced. While it got a number of laughs all through, it was rather weak at the finish. Not at all a strong sketch.

MANON OPERA COMPANY. 10 minutes in one. Olio. Went very strong.

THREE HICKEY BROTHERS. 10 minutes special drop in two. A rattling good acrobatic and dancing act with comedy every minute. Went big in this spot.

JOHN and MAE BURKE. 16 minutes open and close in one. Special and street. C.D.F. As big a riot as ever.

FRANK FOGARTY. 16 minutes in one. Olio. Continuous laughter. A lot of new stories, and I do not think he ever went bigger in this house.

"NEPTUNE'S GARDEN OF LIVING STATUES." 20 minutes f.s. Special set. This act was put on for the first time today, and went over. I will not say how big. It is a combination of living statues, diving, dancing, pantomime and singing. The statues go into the water and never come up and at the close ten girls are taken out of the tank in different costumes.
