BOSTON    KEITH'S    May 31,    0
Kinograms & Topics of the Day:-Good.
Nathane Bros.:-7 min. in 2. An exceptional hand balancing and tumbling act. Made a very good opener.
Merritt & Bridewell:-11 min. in 1. Two youthful girls with personality and nice routine of songs and piano. Went well.
Clifford & Wills:-21 min. in 2-1/2 Spec. Man and woman in a rube comedy skit, well handled, got quite a few laughs, and closed to a fair hand.
Eddie Borden & Co.:-19 min. in 1-1/2. About the same material he has used here before. Did not go as big as usual.
Grace Huff & Co.:-20 min. F.S. This sketch seemed to hold interest throughout, but got very little at the finish.
Bensee & Baird:-19 min. in 1. The woman in this act is a clever comedian, and their songs and talk went over pretty well in this spot.
Ford Sisters:-21 min. F.S. Spec. The girls have a very nice act this time, and with the assistance of a five piece orchestra went over nicely.
Gordon & Ford:-13 min. in 1. Held this spot nicely, lots of laughs and closed to a good hand.
Frankie Wilson:-9 min. F.S. Spec. Posting act about the same as Bessie Clifford used on her recent visit here. Held audience fairly well.
CUTS:- Frankie Wilson: It will be necessary to drape your figure as a City Ordanance forbids one piece suits for posing.
Eddie Borden:- Kindly omit reference to Martin Beck also line "We'd be down at the Orpheum" or reference to any other theatre in town.
