B. F. KEITH'S HIPPODROME
Cleveland, Ohio
Oct. 9, 1911   CRITICISM    H. A. Daniels
FLYING MARTINS
Special set, full stage, 5 min. Very lively act. This act goes to SYRACUSE.
McGINNIS BROS.
Dancing cadets. Just a fair act. 15 min. in one. This act goes to BUFFALO.
HOMER MILES & CO.
Sketch entitled "On a Side Street". New and quite good. 20 min., special set. This act goes to HARRISBURG.
5 CYCLING AURORAS
15 min., full stage. An excellent bicycle act. This act goes to ATLANTA.
FANNY RICE
"The Miniature Mimic Stage". Same act she has always presented. Owing to the fact that it works in one, the people on the sides at the first 7 rows could not see it at all. this act is not booked.
ROMANCE OF THE UNDERWORLD
This act carries several people and is quite a pretentious offering. They are negligent on the photographs, billing and advance material. This is the biggest thing in the show. Went fairly well and closed to liberal applause. Runs about 40 min. 3 scenes, special scenery. This act goes to BUFFALO.
JOLLY WILD & CO.
2 men, a woman and a piano. Drop in one. Fair to good. 12 min. This act goes to providence.
DEKOE TROUPE
Acrobats. 10 min. Good. Full stage. This act goes to BUFFALO.
Note - We did a lot of special advertising for the Baseball Pictures and when we got them, we found they were a lot of stock pictures that could have been taken a year ago, with an addition of 4 or 5 pictures that could have been taken of Saturday's game.
5 cent picture shows both side of us on Euclid Ave. Were advertising the pictures as coming direct from the American Press Association. This took the edge off any advertising we could do on a 50-cent basis for a feature.
