Boston    Keith's    October 17, 1921
Aesops Fable: Good
Topics of the Day: Good
Erfords Oddities: 7 min in full stage spec.
Three ladies in a prettily staged and novel aerial act. Very good opener.
Fisher & Gilmore: 18 min in 1
Big laughing hit in this spot.
Cressy & Dayne: 23 min in full stage.
Well liked here and their new sketch went over very well. Closed to a nice hand.
Patricola: 14 min in 1
This girl went over very big as usual.
Ensign Al Moore & His U.S. Jazz Band: 22 min in full stage
The band has been reduced to twelve men. They have an exceptional eccentric dancer and a good punch at the finish. Got a good reception and closed to a big hand.
Billy Dale & Co. 24 min in 1 spec.
This is what may be called an attempt at refined burlesque. Most of the material is a little shady. Got quite a few laughs, but not a good act for here.
Four Mortons: 29 min in 2 spec.
Sam got more laughs than ever and the act went over very good closing to a big hand.
Ernest R. Ball: 13 min in 1
A big hit as usual.
Frances Pritchard & Co. 20 min in full stage spec.
Very good dancing act especially the two boys. Closed the show to a nice hand.
Pathe News: Fair.
CUTS: Billy Dale & Co. Please eliminate "Just the opposite" gag in reference to the "headache", also "Damn fool", the word "Hell" and "Think of that hour" gag.
