KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Jan 17th 1909
Cleveland, Ohio
Ned Hastings.
INZA and LORELLA. 2 men, clown comedy makeup. Time 10. Comedy acrobatic leapers, tumblers. They have much great material-all of which is novel. They could hold down a much harder spot.
NED NORTON. Time 10. In 1. Black face singing monologist. Rather amateurish. Just got by.
MUSICAL JOHNSTONS. Time 16. 2 men, 1 woman. In 1. Highly artistic xylophonists. They produce real music. A big hit.
HARLAN KNIGHT & CO. 2 men, 1 woman. Time 24. Presenting "The Chalk Line." This is a rural New England sketch presented in a special interior. The name is taken from a long standing feud between two occupants of a store which they have divided by a chalk line. The humor is brisk and funny and the acting well done.
FREDRICKA RAYMOND TRIO. 2 men, 1 woman. Special in 3, close in 1. time 22. Singing familiar operatic selections. The act went well in spite of the fact that the voices do not blend in the best shape imaginable. Costuming very fine.
BROWN & AYER. 2 men. Time 26. In 1. The singing of one man is excellent, unique and makes a big hit. Their comedy is musty and amateurish. They have taken lines from about twenty vaudeville acts and strung them together. The act should be cut down at least 10 minutes thus eliminating the boresome "junk."
M'LLE DAZIE  2 men, 4 women. Presenting "L'Amour de L'Artist." Open in 2 special. Close F.S. special interior. An artistic triumph in pantomime. One of the greatest offerings in vaudeville. Splendidly presented. Dazie does a little dancing.
PAT ROONEY and MARION BENT. Open in 2 special. Close in 1. Time 17. A new singing, talking and dancing skit entitled, "At The News Stand." Bright and sparkling throughout. Rooney's dancing is, of course, the big feature. He scored a great hit.
HENRI FRENCH. F.S. interior. Mimic, magician, juggler and impersonations. Time 16. Advance applause. Clever act but not a good one to close with. Doing so much he should treat himself to the luxury of an assistant. He takes up too much time handling material getting ready for his various stunts.
