KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Cleveland, Ohio
Nov 1st 1909
Ned Hastings.

THE PICQUAYS. Open C.D.F., close in 1. Time 9. Man and woman. Pleasing acrobatic act. It closes with the man dancing a clog on his hands,-a hit.
HIBBETT & WARREN. 2 men. In 1. Both black face, one comedy. Time 9. Songs and comedy fair. Dancing very good.
THE WORTHYS. Man and woman. Time 15. Open 2 spec. back drop, close in 1. A little new and unpolished. Woman, attractive, young and graceful. Their eccentric dancing is excellent. Comedy and singing poor.
THREE HANLONS. 3 men. In 3 garden. Time 13. One comedy. Excellent hand to hand work and aerial dives to catches. Clever work throughout with such applause. Comedy fair.
LA PETITE MIGNON. In 1. Time 15. Imitations of women stage celebrities and George M. Cohan. No change from last appearance, but the act went very well.
AL WHITE'S FOUR DANCING BUGS. Time 13. In 2 Garden. A real dancing oddity. The four enter in comedy costumes and do a great line of eccentric work. Many original steps and formations well worked out. The girls then do a graceful bit of work in dainty costumes. The four close with a gingery ensemble.
LEO CARRILLO. Time 16. In 1. Big hit. Mr Carrillo's Chinese stories and impersonations are still the big feature, although his animal imitations are good. He is closing with Italian dialect work which goes well.
MAURICE FREEMAN & CO. 2 women, 2 men. C.D.F. Presenting "Tony and The Stork." The sketch portrays a study of Americanized Italian character and the scene is laid in a maternity hospital. The situations are unique and range from broad comedy to a few really pathetic touches. Freeman is excellent and his support is fair. As a whole the act is refreshing in it originality.
LES CADETS DE GASCOGNE. Time 10. 3 men, 1 woman in picturesque costumes. They sing selections from Grand Opera and folk songs. Their selections are out of the ordinary and they avoid "Il Trovatore", "Lucia" and the like. Each one sings well and the ensembles are effective.
FOUR LONDONS  4 men. Time 6. F.S. Palace. Casters. Their work is fast, neat and mainly original. Several of their twists are real thrillers.
