Boston, Mass.    B.F.Keith's    April 16th    7
R. G. Larsen
PEGGY [BRENNEN?] & BROTHER  7 minutes f.s. Special set. A fellow and girl on the unsupported ladders. Have some good tricks, and the act is flashily staged. A satisfactory opener.
LEWIS & WHITE  12 minutes in one. Olio drop. These girls lost a trunk Monday morning, coming from Philadelphia, and were obliged to do both shows Monday in street clothes. In spite of this handicap, they were a hit.
THE [illegible]  8 minutes in two. Palace drop. Well-known acrobatic act with trained dogs. Going first-rate.
ANDY RICE  14 minutes in one. Street drop. Mr. Rice has some excellent material by Aaron Hoffman, and he gets it over. Started a bit slowly, but picked up as he went along. Closed well with the burlesque recitation. A good single.
SALLIE FISHER & CO in "The Choir Rehearsal." 22 minutes f.s. Special set. A "rube" sketch with good singing, something after the order of "Way Down East." A charming little play, well staged and played. It scored a hit at both shows Monday.
THREE SULLYS  19 minutes in one. Plush drapery. Estelle, John and William of the Five Sully Family, doing a singing, dancing and comedy turn. Going well.
MME. DOREE'S CELEBRITIES  24 minutes f.s. Special set. About the best operatic act we have played. The singers impersonate different opera stars, and some of the voices are superb. A big hit.
FRANCIS DOOLEY & CORINNE [SALES?]  25 minutes in one. Special drops. This team was a riot. Doing about the same act as on their last visit, and certainly putting it over in great shape.
"THE EDGE OF THE WORLD"  10 minutes f.s. Special set. A beautiful electrical novelty that held the house almost intact, and made a good closer.
EPISODE #14 of "PATRIA"  20 minutes in one. Still holding the interest. The battle scenes this week are good.
