Boston, Mass.    B. F. Keith's    April 2nd    7
R. G. Larsen

ARCHIE and GERTIE FALLS  8 minutes f.s. Garden set. Short opening in one. Opens with stunts on the rope by the lady, a la Dainty Marie. Draw off to full stage, with tumbling and acrobatics, with quite a bit of comedy. A good opening act.
WEBER and ROME  7 minutes in one. Olio drop. Two young chaps in a rattling good dancing act.
RALPH DUNBAR'S "TENNESSEE TEN" 18 minutes fs. Three special sets. This act was a riot. Monday afternoon, obliged to go on without costume of scenery on account of non-arrival of baggage, they stopped the show. Monday night, giving their complete act, they were one of the applause hits of the show.
SYLVESTER and VANCE  15 minutes in one. A good man and woman act, with singing and comedy. Went over first-rate.
VALERIE BERGERE and CO in "Little Cherry Blossom." 22 minutes f.s. Special set. Miss Bergere has played this act here many times. It held the interest and closed to a strong hand.
VIOLET DALE  23 minutes in one and f.s. Plush drop, centre door fancy and garden scene. Miss Dale is doing the same act as on her last visit. Got a reception and every number went big.
NAT M. WILLS  26 minutes in one. Street drop. Wills has not appeared in this house for two years. Has all new material, and he was a riot from start to finish. Closed big with the patriotic medley.
JACK WYATT'S SCOTCH LADS and LASSIES  20 minutes f.s. Special set. Eleven people in a flashy singing, dancing and musical act. Wyatt has brightened up the act with new costumes, and they wound up the show with a hurrah. A splendid closing feature.
CUTS
Nat Wills - word "Hell."
Archie and Gertie Falls - business of kicking the lady.
Sylvester and Vance - talk about burning down theatres, as out in Cincinnati.
