Boston, Mass. B.F.Keith's May 25, 7 SELMA BRAATZ 11 minutes f.s. Conventional juggling act, with a woman doing the tricks with a male assistant. LONEY HASKELL 19 minutes in one. Olio drop. He works hard, got a number of laughs, and closed to a good hand with the patriotic recitation. Has to be watched closely. WILL J. WARD and 5 SYMPHONY GIRLS 19 minutes f.s. Palace set. Five pianos, five girls, and Mr. Ward, in songs and piano selections. Act moves right along, with plenty of "pep" and ginger, and scored quite a hit. JIM and BETTY MORGAN 14 minutes in one. Songs, piano and musical act. The singing went well, but the work with the clarinet and guitar at the finish stopped the show. A hit. MORAN and WISER 13 minutes f.s. Landscape. Comedy hat jugglers. This act was a laughing hit. "THE RACE OF MAN" 19 minutes in one. Special drop. A Negro, a Hawaiian, a Chinaman, An Indian, and a white man, appearing in the order named, each singing a special solo. They close with some ensemble numbers. Three of the men possess powerful voices, and the staging and handling of the act makes it a good novelty in the singing line. Went over first-rate. PAUL DICKEY and CO in "THE LINCOLN HIGHWAYMAN" 30 minutes f.s. Special set. This is a great act. A melodramatic automobile playlet, with five people, a dog, and a real Stutz racer on the stage. The act leads up to a surprise finish, something after the style of "Under Cover." Held the interest every minutes, and closed very strong. ADELE ROWLAND assisted at the piano by SIDNEY FRANKLIN 14 minutes in one. Plush drapery. Miss Rowland's songs are all new to Boston. It is a welcome relief to play a singing comedienne who is not using published numbers that have been "plugged" to death in every picture house in town. Judging by the way Miss Rowland went over Monday night, the audience felt the same way about it. APDALE'S ANIMALS 15 minutes f.s. Dogs, monkeys, bears and anteater. A good animal act, with considerable comedy worked into it. Along conventional lines, however, and is a better opener than a closer. A bit old-fashioned. CUTS Moran & Wiser - business of throwing vest into audience. Jim & Betty Morgan - final line of "Huckleberry Finn", "always went in swimming where the women did" Loney Haskell - gag about "girls wear their skirts so short that a man can see what he is getting."
