BOSTON    KEITH'S    May 17,    0
Kinograms & Topics of the Day:- Good.
Johnny Small & Sisters:-13 min. F.S. Spec. Boy and two girls in an attractive setting, offering a singing, talking and dancing skit. Opened the show fairly well.
Harry Mayo:-17 min. in 1 Spec. Mayo has a novel singing and talking act, and went over very well.in this spot.
Gallagher & Martin:-16 min. in 1 Spec. This couple are doing the same act they used here on former visits and seemed to please. Closed to a fair hand.
Daisy Nellis:-15 min. in 1. Miss Nellis is an exceptional pianist and makes a very pretty picture. Her numbers were well received.
Frank Wilcox & Co.:-19 min F.S. A good comedy sketch, got lots of laughs and closed to a nice hand.
Bailey & Cowan:-19 min. in 1 and 1-1/2 Spec. These boys, with the assistance of Estelle Davis, went over very big.
Hallen & Hunter:-21 min. in 1. Although this couple are using about the same material as when seen here last, they got lots of laughs and closed to a big hand.
U. S. Jazz Band:-19 min. F.S. These boys are not up to their former standard in neither program or musicianship consequently did not go as well as when seen here last.
Samoya:-6 min. F.S. This man does some clever swinging trapeze stunts, and did pretty well closing.
CUTS:-Gallagher & Martin: Please eliminate the word "dirty".
Johnny Small & Sisters: Please eliminate "Rabbi O'Brien" and "the rabbit's out" refering to the rabbi.
Harry Mayo: Please eliminate the words "dirty" and "damn".
Hallen & Hunter: Please eliminate reference to "Keith's clothes".
REMARKS:- It was necessary to shift this bill considerably for the evening performance owing to the non-appearance of Helen Keller, and substituting the U. S. Jazz Band. The bill now runs as reported.
