KEITH & PROCTOR'S 125TH STREET THEATRE
MARCH 23 1908
BOWERS, WALTERS & CROCKER
"Three Rubes". An excellent opening act. Full of life and action. Dancing good and the aerial trapeze work a knockout. Encore left them wanting more. Twelve Minutes. Four Minutes in One.
CLAUDE & FANNY USHER
Playing "Fagin's Decision". Slang Classic." Tells an interesting story with a little pathos. Scored heavily. An excellent vehicle and worthy of a better place. Twenty-two Minutes Full Stage.
MAY WARD AND HER EIGHT DRESDEN DOLLS
Very pretty singing and dancing act is three scenes. Miss Ward has a pleasing voice and makes several changes of costumes. The girls make a very dashing appearance and have fairly good voices. Act is quite novel although nothing sensational. Twenty Minutes. Open in One.
ALBERT WHELAN
This fellow is certainly an entertainer. Very refined in his manner and won the house from the start. His selections were greatly appreciated, especially that of Harry Lauder which won big applause. Seventeen Minutes. Close in one, one Minute.
