BOSTON    KEITH'S    March 3,    9
Weekly:- Interesting.
Cummins & White:- 6 min. f.s. Spec.
Two men in a neat hand balancing act opened the show well.
Elmer El Cleve:- 13 min. in 1.
This well known xylophonist got more real applause on number two than any act on the bill.
Lillian Nerlein:- 17 min. f.s. Spec.
This girl has some very pretty gowns and elaborate stage setting, but her numbers did not seem to get over. Closed to a fair hand.
Barnard & Scarth:- 14 min. in 1. Spec.
A man and woman, quiet talking act, got a few laughs, and closed to a fair hand.
Sheila Terry & Co.:- 23 min. f.s. and 1. Spec.
Two boys and a girl in a novel singing and dancing offering. All three are clever, and went over to a good hand.
Doc O'Neil:- 20 min. in 1.
O'Neil got plenty of laughs, and closed to a good hand.
George White & Co.:- 27 min. f.s. Spec.
This act is well presented, and White's dancing put it over nicely. Closed to a good hand.
Gardner & Hartman:- 17 min. in 1.
Held this spot very well, got plenty of laughs, and closed to a fair hand.
Belleclaire Bros.:- 8 min. f.s. Spec.
These boys have a remarkable routine of hand balancing, and closed the show well.
CUTS: Sheila Terry: Please wear fleshings in all your dances for the remainder of the week.
Doc O'Neil: Please eliminate reference to "dirty joke", "we keep a dog" "I smell punk".
George White: Please see that your girls wear fleshings during your act for the remainder of the week, moderate all shimmie movements, and eliminate reference to Zeigfeld Follies"
