BOSTON    KEITH'S    July 26,    0
Kinograms & Topics of the Day:-Little above the average in interest and humor.
Rudinoff:-18 min. F.S. Mr. Rudinoff is doing his original smoke pictures, whistling specialties, and some shadowgraph, making a very nice opener.
Raymond & Schram:-16 min. in 1. These two boys have a good routine of comedy songs that put them over in good shape.
Le Maire & Hays Co.:-18 min. F.S. Spec. closing in 1. This is the same act that this team has been doing for some time, with the addition of a young lady playing a small part. The act gets quite a few laughs, but is a little too drawn out as they over-step themselves by doing too much time, and didn't close well.
Eva Shirley & Co.:-10 min. F.S. Miss Shirley has rather a novel act inasmuch as she has a very fine voice, and the novelty of a jazz orchestra and a jazz dancer. Closed strong.
Handers & Millis:-12 min. in 1. These two boys have some good nut comedy, and their hat manipulations are great. Went well.
Alan Brooks & Co.:-40 min. F.S. Spec. This act "Dollars & Sense", was played here before, but met with just as much success as on its previous engagement. Went very well.
Joe Cook:-25 min. in 1. Mr. Cook is doing his regular act and went well.
Redford & Winchester:-14 min. F.S. Spec. These boys had a tremendously hard spot following Joe Cook, and the length of the show also was against them as it is hard to hold the Boston audience until eleven o'clock. The act, however, is just as good as ever.
REMARKS:- This is rather a peculiar bill inasmuch as there are in the first place too many men. For instance-two teams of men like Raymond & Schram and Handers & Millis. Then it will be noted that Handers and Millis do hat juggling, Joe Cook a certain amount of juggling, and Redford and Winchester all juggling.
