BOSTON, Mass. B. F. KEITH'S Feb. 12th 7 LORSE AND STERLING 9 minutes f.s. Garden set. Man and woman in feats on the trapeze. Have some good tricks. Made an acceptable opener. PARILLO and FRABITO 10 minutes in one. Street. Italian street singers and accordion player. About the same act as on previous visits. Going well. WILL OAKLAND and CO in "DANNY O'GILL, U.S.A." 19 minutes f.s. Special set. Rather pretty little Irish sketch. Good comedy lines, that get over, and of course, Oakland's singing is a feature. Going very well. KIMBERLY and ARNOLD 19 minutes in one. Olio drop. These people opened up a bit slow, but closed strong. do a little singing, some talk, and considerable "kidding." A good act. WILFRED CLARKE and CO in "WHO OWNS THE FLAT?" 15 minutes f.s. Light interior. A fast farce comedy, played at high speed by Clarke and a company of two women and one man. got the laughs, and closed well. FLORRIE MILLERSHIP 14 minutes in one. Plush drapery. Songs and dances. Going very well. ADELAIDE and J. J. HUGHES in "THE GARDEN OF THE WORLD" 30 minutes f.s. Special sets. This act stands out head and shoulders above everything else on the bill. Beautifully staged, and the girl dancers are graceful and good to look at. One of the best dancing acts we have played this season. STUART BARNES 20 minutes in one. Special Olio. Mr. Barnes had a hard spot. He followed a big act, and closed the show. Opened up rather slowly, until he started the "Boob" song. Is doing about the same line of stuff, and putting it across in good shape. Held the house intact, and finished strong. MRS. VERNON CASTLE in "PATHIA" Fifth Episode. "The Island God Forgot." One of the best episodes of the seires. Some exciting scenes in an airship. Held about two-thirds of the audience in at both performances. CUTS Wilfred Clarke - word "pure" in line "all pure nurses wear silk stockings." Will Oakland and Stuart Barnes were requested to make all cuts made in New York, before the opening performance.
