PHILADELPHIA    B. F. KEITH'S    NOVEMBER 22nd,    20
KINOGRAMS & "TOPICS OF THE DAY" - Very good.
PETERS & LEBUFF - (8 mins.) Two men on trampolin and bar. Made a very good opening act, closing to a good hand.
LEXEY & O'CONNOR - (10 mins.) A girl and boy in a singing and dancing turn. Fairly good line of material, well handled, getting good results and closing to a good hand.
LONG TACK SAM - (23 mins.) A splendid novelty staged in oriental style and a big applause hit. A lot of original stuff in addition to some ordinary juggling and acrobatics. Build up a great finish and closed very big.
CARRIE JACOBS BOND - (24 mins.) While this act appeals strictly to a high class audience she scored bit with our regular Monday afternoon throng. Her songs are quaint and those that are popularly known were big applause winners. Closed very big with her composition "The End Of A Perfect Day".
TIM & KITTY O'MEARA - (14 mins.) A very high class dancing act with piano accompanist. Do a  variety of dances, with song introductions, and their work is of the highest class. Plenty of variety to it, all well done, finishing strong.
HARRY LESTER MASON - (17 mins.) With a very good line of material he did very well. His stuff is funny and he delivers it well, got a lot of laughs and closed to a big hand.
HENRY SANTREY - (33 mins.) One of the biggest applause hits we have ever had in the house and Mr. Santrey was forced to beg his way off the stage. As a jazz feature this is the best act we have ever played and ought to be a riot on any bill.
GERTRUDE VANDERBILT - (23 mins.) This was a rather hard spot for this act, following the bit hit of the headline feature but she has a lot of snappy talk and songs, and, with able assistance from her piano player, she put over a good sized hit, and held this spot in fine shape.
MARTIN & MOORE - (7 mins.) Undoubtedly one of the best ring acts in vaudeville. They have a lot of new tricks and the woman and man are equally clever in showing their stuff. In the closing position of a late show they did remarkably well.
GENERAL REMARKS - Although this was a long show and ran very late on the opening performance, it is a great holiday week bill, plays great from start to finish with several big hits on it.
