Boston   B.F.Keith's   Febuary 13, 1922
Aesop's Fable: Fair
Topics of the Day: Fair
Luster Brothers: 6 min in 3   Exceptional routine of acrobatics. A good opener.
Frank Gaby: 19 min in 1   A little early for his opening material, but the ventriloquist bit put him over to a very good hand.
Cansino Brothers & Marion Wilkins: 10 min in full stage spec. Short and snappy dancing act that went over very well in this spot.
Walter Kelly: 22 min in 1   A nice reception and went over big.
Frankie Heath: 20 min in 1   This girl can certainly put over her songs and she closed to a big hand.
Glenn & Jenkins: 18 min in 1 spec. Colored boys in a novel talking and dancing act. Went over to a big hand.
Valeska Suratt & Co. 31 min in 3 spec. This sketch is well handled and held interest throughout. Closed to a good hand.
Watson Sisters: 26 min in 1   Started a little slowly, but held the spot finely and closed to a big hand.
Shadowland: 10 min in full stage spec. Beautiful sigh act and held the audience very well.
Pathe News: Good.
CUTS: Frank Gaby; Please eliminate the word "Hell" from your act also line "I feel them biting me".
Glenn & Jenkins  Please eliminate the line "You're a hounds puppy" also the "Skunk" routine.
