Boston, Mass.,    B. F. Keith's    Nov. 19th., 1917
Hearst - Pathe pictures;- 14 min.. O.K..
Gliding O'Mearas;- 9 min., f.s.. This is one of the best opening acts we have had for a number of weeks. Both are away above the average in modern dancing. Closed to a big hand.
Gallerini Sisters;- 12 min. in 1. These girls do a combination of violin and accordion; cornets and singing. Make a nice appearance. Were very satisfactory in No. 2 spot.
Santley & Millership;- 24 min. f.s.. There are eight people in this act and six scenes. The act makes a big flash, and the Principals put their numbers over in good shape, but the act lacks a "punch". Went very well in this spot.
Bert & Harry Gordon;- 13 min. in 1. Very good comedy team. Got a lot of laughs and closed strong.
Nonette;- 24 min. f.s., Spl. set. Nonette, always a favorite here has surrounded herself with one of the most beautiful settings that has been shown at this house. She has a wonderful program of violin playing and singing and made a big hit.
Brendel & Burt;- 16 min. in 1. This couple do a good comedy act; the comedian being in a class by himself playing a Swedish character. The girls sings well, and their dance at the finish put the act over to a big hand.
Bessie Clayton & Co. 23 min., f.s., Spl. set. It is very rarely you find a "Star" surrounded by such exceptional clever Company. This fact, however, did not interfere with Miss Clayton scoring a decided triumph on her own part.
Burns & Frabito  18 min. in 1. These Italian comedians got a lot of laughs and held their spot well.
Athos & Read;- 10 min. f.s.. A little man and woman in roller skating act that is different from the rest. Made a very good closing act.
