KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Cleveland, Ohio.
Dec 13th 1909.
Ned Hastings.
57.
THE DALEYS. Man and woman. Open F.S. spec plush b.d. Close in 1. The man does some original and highly difficult trick roller skating. The girl gives one great song a la Eddie Leonard and gets a big hand. Finally she joins man in roller skating and they close with a rattling jig on their skates. Time 15. Quiet and effective.
HOWARD BROTHERS. 2 men. Open F.S. palace. Close in 1. Time 19. They appear with 20 banjos decorating the stage. They begin with novelty trick playing while juggling their instruments finally working up to six banjos in action. They close with legitimate playing-very fine. Generous applause throughout.
GRACIE EMMETT & CO. Time 22. C.D.F. "Mrs Murphy's Second Husband." Many good lines at first, then the whole thing lags. The sketch itself is poor, although Emmett's Irish characterization is fine. In all 2 men, 2 women.
RAY COX. In 1. New songs and costumes with the exception of her two types of college girls which went big. Time 21. Cut "I'm Not That Kind Of A Girl."
EIGHT BERLIN MADCAPS. Time 10. Eight well matched and attractive girls. Most of them dance well although there are evidently one or two new ones which caused several embarrassments Monday matinee. Their ensembles are pretty and lively and their groupings picturesque. They need a few weeks more practice before they will be working as they should.
MARCEL et BORIS. Man and boy. Time 10. Hand to hand work-very good and mostly original. The boy plays, as an interpolation, the violin well and in trick positions. Neat and fast with the boy the big feature.
LADDIE CLIFF. in 1. Time 19. Some new songs and some old favorites. A big hit. Dancing about the same. He closed with a brief monologue which is fair. This was given after long applause.
ROBLEDILLO. F.S. woods. time 9. Woman who does a little good work. Man assistant. Robledillo does an incredible series of fancy and humorous "gaits" on the semi-slack wire. These include a drunken reel which is a scream. A big feature for any bill.
HIPPOGRAPH.
