Boston   B. F. Keith's   April 3, 1922
Aesop's Fable: Plenty of good laughs.
Topics of the Day: About the average.
Mantell's "Petite Cabaret"  12 min in full stage spec. Interesting manikin act and made a very good opening act.
Edwin George: 14 min in 1   Went over well considering the number of times he has played this act here.
Danny Duggan & Bert Lowe's Orchestra: 26 min in full stage   This act repeated very big and were a hit in this spot.
Stella Mayhew: 14 min in 1   Miss Mayhew is doing a nice single and went over finely in this spot.
Marion Murray & Co. 21 min in full stage. Novel sketch well handled. Some good laughs but only a fair hand at finish.
Charles (Chic) Sale: 24 min in 1 spec. Sale interpolated some of his older characters for this engagement and went over just as big as ever.
Vadie & Gygi Co. 22 min in full stage spec. Very beautiful act of music and classic dancing Held interest and closed to a good hand.
John T Murray & Vivian Oakland: 19 min in 1   A rather hard spot for this act but they held it nicely closing to a good hand.
Yip Yip Yaphankers: 12 min in 1 and 4 spec. This well known act held them in finely and seemed to please.
Pathe News: Good
CUTS: Vadie & Gygi: Please eliminate the girls crossing stage in front of drop on account of not wearing fleshings.
Edwin George: Please eliminate reference to "Dirty dishes" also gags about gold and president" and "Everywoman"
John T Murray & Co. Please eliminate the line "Long before you ever saw a vaudeville stage" and business of pulling down sleeve of lady's dress.
