Boston, Mass.,    B. F. Keith's    April 1, 1918.
Mystic Hanson Trio
18 min. f.s.. A magician assisted by two girls present a very novel act in the form of musical comedy. Pleased throughout and their patriotic finale put them over to a good hand.
Joyce, West & Moran
12 min. in 1 1/2. The boy and girl in this act do some very good dancing, also a few songs assisted by boy at piano. Went well.
Fink's Mules
10 min. f.s. A good fast working animal act with lots of comedy by four assistants trying to ride donkey and spinning table. Went good.
Gardner & Hartman
14 min. in 1. Both members of this team handle their material well and went over good.
Camouflage
26 min. f.s., spl. This melodrama is quite interesting but the cast seems a little weak in spots. Held interest and closed fair.
Venita Gould
24 min. in 1. This girl certainly put over a decided hit and was forced to take two or three bows after her final exit.
Imhoff, Conn & Coreene
34 min. in 2 1/2 spl. This act was a scream from start to finish.
Grace La Rue
22 min. in 1 1/2 spl. Miss La Rue put over a very good program of songs in her own clever manner and closed to a good hand.
Guiran & Newell
9 min. in 1 and f.s., spl. These boys open in one doing a little talk and a couple of good dances, then go to full stage and go through an excellent routine on the bars. Closed good.
Remarks;- A good fast show that held the interest and should do business because of its all around excellence.
