BOSTON    KETH'S    Dec. 2,    8
Hearst-Pathe Weekly:
Booth & Leander:- 9 min. f.s.
Trick cyclist and acrobatic comedian. Made a nice opener.
Norton & Melnotte:- 16 min. in 1
Two girls, one playing male character, in a singing and dancing skit. Went nicely.
Lucille & Cockie:- 15 min. in 3 1/2
This act did better than on its previous visit here, but seems to slow up the show in this spot.
Claudia Coleman:- 16 min. in 1
This girl has some good material and put it over nicely, closing to a good hand.
Norton & Nicholson:- 19 min. f.s.
This well known couple played the same sketch they used here before. Got plenty of laughs and closed to a good hand.
Mehlinger & Myer:- 19 min. in 1
These boys went just as big as on previous visits here.
Christie MacDonald:- 21 min. f.s. spec.
Miss MacDonald, assisted by Irene Rowan and William Haig, has a decided novelty for a singing act and pleased very much.
Ann & Mary Clark:- 16 min. in 1.
A rather difficult spot for these girls, but the novelty of their offering enabled them to hold it down in good shape.
Four Readings:- 8 min. f.s. spec.
This well known hand balancing act held the audience very well, closing to a good hand.
Picture: "Peace Celebration in Paris"
This reel did not create any enthusiasm as the audience seemed to be waiting for something to happen.
Remarks:
The third, fourth and fifth acts being all talking, made the show appear a little tame.
