BOSTON    KEITH'S    May 12,    9
Kinograms:- Interesting.
Sensational Gerards:- 7 min. f.s.
Two men in a hand balancing act, made a fair opener.
Phina & Co.:- 11 min. in 1.
These singing and dancing piccaninnies put this act over to a good hand.
Julia Nash & H. C. O'Donnell:- 17 min. f.s.
Comedy sketch well handled, got quite a few laughs, and closed to a fair hand.
Sailor Reilly:- 13 min. in 1.
Not as big a hit as when the War was on, but a good entertainer, and closed to a nice hand.
Ivan Bankoff & Co.:- 19 min. f.s. Spec.
A well arranged program of dances, the girl doing some very clever work, and they also have an exceptional pianist. Went over very good.
Stuart Barnes:- 22 min. in 1.
Just as big as ever, and closed to a big hand.
Gallagher & Rolley:- 14 min. f.s. Spec.
Good comedy talking act along the lines of Gallagher's former sketches. Went over very good.
Four Mortons:- 27 min. in 1.
Pleased throughout and finished to a big hand.
Act Beautiful:-11 min. f.s. Spec.
A very pretty posing act, held the audience fairly well closing.
CUTS: Gallagher & Rolley: Please do not use the word "nigger" in your act.
Phina & Co.: Please modify the "wiggle" in your second number.
