Boston, Mass.    B. F. Keith's    April 9th    7
R. G. Larsen

LILLIAN'S DOGS  9 minutes f.s. Garden set. Man and woman with seven toy canines. A good act with a little  comedy. Acceptable opener.
EDDIE & BIRDIE CONRAD  10 minutes in one and two. Olio and palace drops. Boy and girl in songs and dancing, using grand piano in two. The boy is a clever character comedian. Closed very well with an imitation of Montgomery & Stone in the Chinese dance. Could go further down.
LADY AGNESE and HER IRISH COLLEENS  23 minutes f.s. Special drop and set. Five girls and one woman, in songs, dances and musical numbers. Miss Agnese is an active worker among Irish societies. Her act is beautifully staged and makes good. Went over first-rate at both performances Monday.
CONLIN PARKS TRIO  14 minutes in one. Special drop. A better act by far than the old Conlin, Steele & Carr combination. Full of "pep" and scored quite a hit.
McINTYRE & HEATH in "ON GUARD"  25 minutes f.s. Wood scene. It has been so many years since this act was seen in Boston that it went like new. A riot of laughter from start to finish.
WARD & VAN  14 minutes in one. Street drop. Two Italians with harp and violin. Comedy musical act. A hit.
ELIZABETH BRICE & CHARLES KING  23 minutes f.s. C. D. F. This couple were the biggest kind of a hit. Most of their songs are published numbers that have been sung here before, but Brice & King put them over in great shape. For an encore they offered a medley of their old-time hits, including "A One-Horse Town" from "Watch Your Step."
THREE HICKEY BROTHERS  9 minutes in one and two. Street and garden drops. Acrobatic dancing and tumbling. Fast act, and fitted in very nicely in this spot with the show we have this week.
EPISODE #13 of "PATRIA"  30 minutes in one. Picture sheet. Still holding the interest of a large portion of the audience.
COMMENT
We have a splendid show this week. Moves right along at a fast clip from overture to final curtain, with lots of singing, dancing and comedy.
NO CUTS NECESSARY
