2 B.F. KEITH'S THEATRE BOSTON WEEK NOVEMBER 10, 1913. (R.G. Larsen.) THE BRIMBOS. 12 minutes f.s. Garden. Man and woman in a first-rate "bump" act with some good comedy. Made a good opener. MURPHY AND FRANCIS. 10 minutes in one. Street. This team was brought in Tuesday afternoon to full the vacancy caused by Cantwell & Walker who left the bill on account of illness. Went as well as on previous visits. BEAUMONT and ARNOLD. 17 minutes f.s. C.D.F. Close in one. Olio. Man and woman in a comedy sketch with a little singing and some dancing and high kicking by the woman. Went over big. GRACE WILSON. 14 minutes in one. O.P.Drapery. Miss Wilson has the best repertoire of songs she has ever given us. Going very well in this position. JONES and SYLVESTER. 18 minutes in one. Special drop. "The Two Drummers." An excellent line of comedy and some splendid singing, all of which went big. EDMUND LAYES and COMPANY in "The Piano Movers." 20 minutes f.s. C.D.F. Same old riot. LUCY DALY and COMPANY. 21 minutes. Olio in one, Special in two, Garden in one. Palace in f.s. Miss Daly sings three numbers, the first in evening costume; the second in male attire with dress suit and silk hat; the third in eccentric character makeup; and closes with two Tango dances, assisted by Paul Jones Chute, the Boston society dancing master. All her numbers were well received, and she closed strong with the Tango dances. HENRY E. DIXEY. 21 minutes in one. Mr. Dixey is working all in one this week, and to my mind it is a great improvement. Held this hard spot in great shape. FOUR MERKEL SISTERS. 10 minutes f.s. Palace. Four good-looking and well-formed young women in balancing, ground tumbling, and equilibristic work. Made a good closer. CUTS: Beautmont and Arnold - 3rd verse of "Coupon" song.
