B.F. Keith's Hippodrome. April 24 1911 Cleveland, Ohio. H.A. Daniels. ELDORA & CO. 2 men, 1 a comedy assistant. F.S. woods. Time 15. Eldora is an excellent heavyweight juggler. He works blindfolded part of the time. WESTON, FIELDS & CARROL. Time 10. In 1. Three young men who sing clever songs in spicey fashion. They scored a big hit. FLO IRWIN & CO. Man & woman. C.D.F. Time 15. A dialogue called, "At The Ball." For the most part this offering fell rather flat at the opening matinee. IRVING JONES. In 1. time 15. An amusing little protege of Abraham Lincoln's, who works hard enough to make his black skin shine. Songs and monologue, fair. MR & MRS FREDERIC VOELKER. Special F.S. Time 17. Vaudeville's most dignified musical act. Voelker is an admirable violinist and his wife is a good accompaniest. They inject a little good comedy into their work. Big applause. CAMILLE OBER. In 1. Time 12. This quaint little mademoiselle won the audience completely from the start. She sings a number of songs in French, exhibiting a sweet, clear voice of unusually high range. THE McGREEVYS. Man & woman. Time 12. In 1. This is a screaming "rube" act. They offer a very funny dialogue and close with a laughable "sour note" selection. A hit. GEORGE BEBAN & CO. "The Sign Of The Rose." Special F.S. 3 men, 1 woman, 1 little girl. Time 24. This act has been featured here before; but it held the audience spellbound Monday matinee. The piece is splendidly acted and the story while mainly serious, has frequent legitimate comedy reliefs. PHOTOPLANE DAYLIGHT MOTION VIEWS. BOSTON SHOW - WEEK - APRIL 24, 1911. R. G. Larsen. (Monday night show.) HANDERS & MILLISS. 8 minutes in one. this is a very good dancing act with a piano. It does not help the business very much and the comedy is a bit off, but the dancing is certainly graceful and the boys work hard while they are on, which is not very long. MARIE & BILLY HART. 19 minutes with close in one. "The Circus Girl." Miss Hart is certainly versatile and that is the redeeming feature of the act. It went very good at both performances here to-day. NEIL O'BRIEN. 18 minutes in one. Doing his talking sketch with Wm. H. Hallett. The fact that he played here last winter with his big company and used pretty much the same material in one, probably detracted from the act, as I think the audience expected the curtain to go up on the fire scene. However, he got laughs all through and finished good. JACK & VIOLET KELLY. 14 minutes f.s. Stock whip experts. this act, while good, did not make the impression that Fred Lindsay did when he first appeared here. However, in this place it was entertaining and got considerable applause. NELLIE NICHOLS. 15 minutes in one. Miss Nichols, using the same act she did in New York, slumped very badly this afternoon, especially her manicure number. I had her cut that out this evening and substitute one of her old songs, and she was nothing short of a riot. In fact, the audience would not let her leave the stage, and I do not know when I have heard such applause from all parts of the house. "A ROMANCE OF THE UNDERWORLD." 40 minutes f.s. 3 special sets. Second week and going as well as ever. LYONS & YOSCO. 16 minutes in one. Following "The Underworld" tonight they caught the audience in great shape from the start, and went big. MARLO-ALDO TRIO. 9 minutes f.s. We put this bar act down to close to-night, and while the comedy is not very strong the work on the bars is very good and filled the spot acceptably. CUTS. Neil O'Brien - reference to "mother-in-law."
