B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - BOSTON - WEEK DECEMBER 1, 1913. (R. G. Larsen.) MR. and MRS. DARROW. 15 minutes f. s. Palace. Wellknown shadowgraph act which made an acceptable opener. KENNEDY and Kramer. 9 minutes in one. Olio drop. Man and woman in a rather neat singing and dancing act that filled this spot in very good shape. PREVOST and BROWN. 9 minutes f. s. Garden. two men in a comedy acrobatic act on the trampoline. One of the men is a very good comedian of the rube type, and his work on the table with triple somersaults and twisters is great. Went over first-rate. MIDDLETON and SPELLMEYER. 16 minutes in one. Special drop. Playing their new act, "An Ocean Wooing." These people left the bill after the night performances rather than play in number four spot. As we have a twelve act bill this week, we are getting along very nicely without them. JOE COOK. 14 minutes in one. Olio. Close special drop in two. His one-man vaudeville show proved one of the hits of the show. Closed strong. MONETA FIVE. 18 minutes f. s. C. D. F. Two men and three women in a very classy musical act with some singing, that went first-rate at both performances. LAURA BUCKLEY. 14 minutes in one. Olio Drop. Miss Buckley has added one new character, a country girl, since her first appearance here. Got quite a lot of laughs and filled this spot in very good shape. LEROY TALLA & BOSCO. 10 minutes f. s. Special set. The greatest magic act we have ever played. Went very big at both performances. BRONSON and BALDWIN. 18 minutes in one. Garden. This couple pulled down one of the solid hits of the show. The close with the whirlwind dance was exceptionally big. FLORENCE ROBERTS and CO. in "The woman Intervenes." 25 minutes f. s. Dark tapestry C. D. F. A splendid dramatic sketch with quite a lot of comedy that held the interest every minute and closed very, very big. LYDIA BARRY. 25 minutes in one. O. P. Drapery. In spite of this hard position, following an exceptionally long show, Miss Barry scored heavily. Her close was exceptionally big, the applause continuing after the cards had been turned for the final act. HASSAN BEN ALI'S TEN TOOZOONIN ARABS. 8 minutes f. s. Wood. One of the very best Arab acts we have ever played. They open with a gun drill in white burnooses, go to the pyramid building, and close with the whirlwind acrobatics. Made a great closer for our THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY BILL.
