KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Feb 28th 1910
Cleveland, Ohio
Ned Hastings.
BE GAR SISTERS. 2 girls. Time 8. Palace in 3. Pretty girls who do acrobatic dances gracefully.
CLARK & BERGMAN. Man and woman. Time 13. In 1. Sing and dance well. The man makes a foozle at being a dialect comedian.
FRED DUPREZ. In 1. Time 19. Parodist and comedian. Engaging personality, good material in songs and talk. Big hit.
LOUIS SIMON, GRACE GARDNER & CO. 2 men, 2 women. Time 33. They are playing the old act, "The New Coachman" for the first time here in two years. Evidently it was new to most of the audience for it went with plenty of laughter. It seems just a trifle too long, however.
EL COTA. In 1. Time, 10. Xylophone soloist. Very fine.
DENMAN THOMPSON & CO.
Open in 1 (our street drop) Close F.S. special interior. Time 18. 1 woman, 1 girl, 3 men. The instant Mr Thompson appeared he received an ovation which lasted two minutes, indicating that he undoubtedly had brought in many of his old friends. The sketch, "Joshua Whitcomb" is quaint and old fashioned but full of truly humorous touches. Mr Thompson's age is not evident on the stage. He gets through the lines and situations in lively fashion when speed is required.
BIG CITY QUARTETTE. 4 men. In 1. Time 17. No comedy. They sing numerous selections ensemble and in solo. Work high class throughout.
FOUR HOLLWAYS. F.S. 1 woman, 3 men, 1 man as sort of a "ring master." This is a truly remarkable act. They work on the tight wire and perform such unusual things as barrel jumping, and difficult trick cycling on the wire. The comedian is excellent and does numerous hair raising twists on the stage level. The act riveted the attention of the audience.
