Boston Keith's April 18, 1921 Kinograms: Fair Topic of the Day: Good Novelty Clintons: 9 min full stage This man is a clever jumper and his lady assistant does a little comedy. Made a good opener. Jim & Betty Morgan: 16 min in 1 This well known couple stopped the show both afternoon and evening. Duffy & Mann: 15 min in 1 and 2 spec. Neat talking act with plenty of laughs. Went over very good indeed. Dotson: 15 min in 1 Colored dancer was a big hit. Georgia Campbell: 19 min full stage spec. This old fashioned singing sketch was entirely out of place in this fast moving show, and its slowness suffered much by comparison. It was tolerated at the matinee but got many snickers even from orchestra patrons. At the evening performance some few in the crowded gallery laughed in the wrong place which seemed sufficient excuse for Miss Campbell calling for the curtain. This made a wait in our show and upset one of the best bills of the season. One of her company informed us that this has happened six or seven times and there is no excuse for it. Sully & Mack: 18 min in 1 very Good comedy talking act. Went over/well Frisco: 24 min full stage This man has quite a bit of comedy in conjunction with his dancing material and went over nicely closing to a good hand. Watson Sisters: 23 min in 1 Lots of laughs and closed big. Dainty Marie: 9 min full stage spec. Held audience intact. Great closing the show. CUTS: Sully & Mack: Please eliminate "September morn" gag "Feather your chest "How he smells" and business of "snuffing coke" also reference to same and the word "Damn" Jim & Betty Morgan: Please eliminate "Romeo" song entirely. Duffy & Mann: Please eliminate line "Waist or stocking I put them right on" and "You live with your folks" gag. Dotson: Please eliminate reference to Melrose St. or any residential section. Frisco: Please eliminate reference to "Cox the Missing Governor" and do not wiggle with back to audience. Watson Sisters: Please eliminate business of putting hand to nose in "Rebecca" number.
