B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE, CINCINNATI, Ohio
Week of Nov. 12, 1911.
AL. RAYNO'S BULL-DOGS:
9 minutes, full stage. A bunch of about twenty bull-dogs, thoroughly trained and pulling off some clever stunts, with a rattling good finish in a football game. Went Big. Act goes to LOUISVILLE.
THE THREE VAGRANTS:
16 minutes in One. Classical and popular music on the guitar, clarinet and accordion. The three men in the costumes of vagrant musicians. Act went big. Act open next week.
LEO CARILLO:
Monologue and character imitator. 17 minutes in One. Mr. Carillo tells some excellent stories, and does some fine imitations, eliciting many hearty laughs. His material is all clean and fresh, and he went big. Act goes to LOUISVILLE.
HELENA FREDERICK & CO.
In twenty-three minutes of "CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA". Five people, including Miss Frederick, and some very effective special scenery. Open 3 minutes in One, then to full stage for 20 minutes. Act went big, especially the finale, in which Miss Frederick sings the well-known intermezzo. A very strong and classy feature. Act goes to LOUISVILLE.
KENNEY, NOBODY & PLATT:
Black-face singers and comedians. 18 minutes in One. "Nobody" is an imaginary man, there being but two men, Kenney and Platt. Their comedy and singing are of the whirlwind order, and they went big. Act goes to LOUISVILLE
WILL H. CRESSY & BLANCHE DAYNE:
In Mr. Cressy's sketch "One Night Only". 28 minutes full stage - own set. Generally considered the best sketch Mr. Cressy has ever had here, and presented in their delightfully humorous style. Advance hand for Mr. Cressy. - A bit hit. Act goes to DAYTON, OHIO.
NELLIE NICHOLS:
Songstress comedienne. 14 minutes in One. Several lively, catchy songs. Miss Nichols is better than ever before. Went very big Sunday matinee, and Sunday night was a riot. Act goes to INDIANAPOLIS.
FIVE PARRELL SISTERS:
10 minutes, full stage. Gymnasts. Young and beautiful women, refined in appearance and action, with a very prettily staged act. Good closing act that holds the audience. Act goes to INDIANAPOLIS.
PICTURES: 19 minutes.
GENERAL REMARKS:
The show is a good one.
CUTS: Elimination of the names of local railroads in one of Leo Carillo's stories.
