B.F. KEITH'S HIPPODROME.
Nov 7th 1910    Cleveland, Ohio    Ned Hastings.
LES NAVAS.
Man & Boy. In 4 woods. Time 11. Very skillful balancing on the trapeze. Too quiet for an opener. Closes with some foot juggling while playing a violin at the same time.
JOCK McKAY.
Time 14. In 1. Scotch comedian. Fairly good line of stories and songs.
THE KRATONS.
Open in 1-Main act F.S. with special back drop and miniature buildings about the stage. Close in 1. Time 12. 2 men, 1 woman. This is a crackerjack hooprolling act during a greater part of which the hoops are made to impersonate characters in a little comedy. The act is much improved over last appearance here.
WILL M. CRESSY & BLANCHE DAYNE.
2 men, 1 woman. F.S. Special. "Town Hall Tonight." Time 24. A great hit in spite of its being well known here. Many new and bright lines.
CLIFFORD WALKER.
In 1. Time 12. Monologist and songs at the piano. I honestly believe this material is too high class for the average audience anywhere. The material is well chosen but it would take a thorough knowledge of English army conditions to fully appreciate Mr Walker's work. Parts "got over", notably the singing.
CHARLES LEONARD FLETCHER.
Time 22. F.S. Interior. 4 men, 1 woman. "His Nerve." An unusual sketch with diverting plot. Much enjoyed.
NONETTE.
In 1. Time 15. Dashing young person who plays on the violin popular music in splendid fashion. She also sings well. Her reception was remarkably big at the matinee.
"THE MODELS OF THE JARDIN DE PARIS."
CARL HENRY & CO.
F.S. special, close in 1. 5 women. 3 men. The lines and situations in many places are unquestionably "tough." The general tone seems to place this act in a burlesque theater rather than in vaudeville. However there is some good dancing done and one comedian is excellent.
THE ALPINE TROUPE.
F.S. Garden. 3 women, 2 men. Work on parallel tight wires. A very flashily dressed feature. Clever workers and a fine closing act. Much of their work appears very difficult. They do a little ground tumbling at the close.
