Boston, Mass.,    B. F. Keith's    Jan. 7, 1918.
Hearst Pathe Pictures. O.K.
Wilson Aubrey Trio;- 10 min. f.s. and 1. Good comedy bar act with burlesque wrestling in 1. A fast working team with quite a little comedy. Opened well.
Don Fong Gue and Haw;- 11 min., spl. in 1-1/2 and f.s.. Chinese boy and girl doing a couple of songs in 1 closing with a Fox Trot and Gavotte in F.S.. This act started slowly but their dancing at the finish put them over to a good hand.
Morton & Clare;- 15 min. in 1. This is Morton of the Kramer & Morton act with a new male partner. While the act is considerably more refined than his previous offering, it didn't seem to go as well. Were alright in this position.
Alexander Mc Fadyen;- 14 min. in 1. This pianist has a program well adapted to vaudeville and uses the orchestra with all his numbers. He held his spot nicely.
Jas. C. Morton;- 18 min., f.s.. Mr. Morton is assisted by Miss Mamie Diamond and boy and girl in a combination of dancing, tumbling and chatter. The act moved with plenty of speed; went over well.
Cameron Sisters;- 14 min. f.s., spl. These well known dancing girls do the customary routine of dancing with piano solos by Mr. Burton Daniels during their changes. Went well.
Dooley & Sales;- 24 min. in 1, spl. This act was just as big a hit as on previous visits here.
Eva Tanguay;- 20 min. in 2. Miss Tanguay has an entirely new program of songs and some wonderfully unique costumes. She finished with old reliable "I Don't Care" but none of her numbers received extraordinary applause.
Prosper & Maret;- 8 min. f.s., spl. This is an exceptionally clever hand balancing act and held the audience much better for the night show than Don Fong Gue & Haw who were closing at the Matinee.
