Boston   Keith's   January 2, 1922
Aesops Fable: Good
Topics of the Day: Fair
Baker Johnson & Baker: 8 min in full stage   Comedy hat jugglers and a fine opening act. Closed to a good hand.
Jed Dooley: 24 min in 1 spec.  Went well in this spot, but would better if he would cut it down to about 15 min.
Marga Waldron & Geo. Halperin: 17 min in full stage spec.  Exceptionally clever dancer and an excellent pianist. Went very well
Will Mahoney: 21 min in 1   Nut comedian got a lot of laughs and his dancing at the finish put him over to a big hand.
Fritzi Schaff: 14 min in full stage.  Miss Scheff got a nice reception and was in good voice. Closed to a fairly good hand.
Olsen & Johnson: 21 min in 1   These boys went over big and were assisted in clowning by Jed Dooley and our property man. Big laughing hit.
Mrs Sydney Drew: 17 min in full stage.  Mrs Drew in the sketch "predestination" got over nicely and was also given a reception on her appearance.
Belle Baker: 30 min in 1   Another reception and went over big.
Thaleros Circus: 7 min in full stage. Fast do and pony act. This is almost a duplicate of Corradinis Animals which played last week. This has a kangaroo and is a better act.
Pathe News: Good.
