B.F. KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Oct 10th 1910    Cleveland, Ohio.    Ned Hastings.
MARSEILLES.
In 2. Time 7. Contortionist, ground and pedestal work. Good work with frequent applause.
COLUMBIA COMEDY FOUR.
4 men. Time 14. In 1. Good singers. Comedy rather stale,-copied after Empire comedy four.
LITTLE STRANGER.
3 men. Time 15. Special back drop, race track scene. Rather talky. No action at all. Acting poor. A neat touch of sentiment at the close which gets the only hand of the piece.
LOLA MERRILL & FRANK OTTO.
In 1. Time 19. Song and dance skit called, "After The Shower." Neat and bright work throughout. The girl is very pretty and clever.
DAN BURKE & GIRLS.
1 man, 7 girls. F.S. special. Scenery in terrible condition. Time 19. The girls are unattractive and dance none too well. Burke does a little good work. This is a new act and somewhat of an improvement over the last Burke offering, but is can hardly be said to be first class.
OVERTURE.
MARSHALL P. WILDER.
Time 14. In 2. Stories bright and entertaining. Big hit.
MORTON & MOORE.
Time 20. Work mostly F.S. Palace, close for a few minutes in 1. They are fine eccentric dancers and some of their clown comedy is excellent. However they have large portions which are silly and not at all funny. Toward the end they wearied the audience visibly.
SEVEN BELFORDS.
7 men. time 6. F.S. Palace. Average acrobatic and risley workers. In spite of the fact they did some good work, many walked out during this turn, although it was only 4:20 P.M. when they started to work.
