Boston    Keith's    Sept. 23,    8
Weekly:- Interesting
Athos & Need:-8 min. F. S.
Boy and girl in a short and snappy roller-skating act, made a fair opener.
Vardon & Perry:-13 min. in 1.
These boys have a rather interesting routine of singing, music and a little dancing, and pleased fairly well.
Will Oakland & Co.:-20 min. F. S. Spec.
The "sketch" part of this act is very much small-time, and rather interferes with Oakland doing himself justice as a single. Made no impression whatsoever.
Ann Gray:-15 min. in 1.
A very attractive girl playing harp and singing some songs. Seemed to please.
Hector:- 16 min. F. S. Spec.
This is a novel dog-act and held the interest even in this spot. Closed to a fair hand.
Eddie Borden & Co.:-24 min. in 1.
This boy gave the show its first real punch and while he has a new partner it did not stop him from putting over a decided hit. Finishes Big.
An American Ace;- 54 min. F. S. Spec.
This is a very pretentious patriotic spectacle and has a good cast. It seemed to hold interest and closed to a fair hand.
War Pictures:- 12 min.
Closed the show.
