B. F. KEITH'S HIPPODROME
Cleveland, O.
Sept. 26, 1911.    H. A. Daniels.
ROBT. DuMONT TRIO: --- A good comedy acrobatic act. 12 m. C.D.F. This act goes to Toledo.
MAJESTIC TRIO: --- 3 men, vocalist and musicians. Good act for this spot. 13 minutes in one. This act goes to Pittsburgh.
HAYWARD & HAYWARD: --- Sketch entitled, "Holding Out". I doubt if this style of stuff appeals to an intelligent audience that visits the high class theatres. These family scraps are not entertaining, refine, or amusing. Int. 16 minutes. Only fair. Not booked for next week.
WILL ROGERS: --- Presenting a line of entirely new stuff, and giving us a little of Montgomery & Stone, Eddie Foy and Geo. Cohan. Very liberal applause. Opens and closes in one. 14 m. This act goes to Columbus.
FRANK STAFFORD & CO. --- Company consists of wife and dog. The act is a novelty. Entitled "A Hunter's Game". Made good in Cleveland. I feel that I can conscientiously recommend it for most any spot in any show. 17 minutes, full stage. Act not booked next week.
HAINES & VIDOCQ --- This act has been known on the Keith circuit for years. Haines phoned me from Columbus at 9 o'clock Saturday night that he was very sick. He worked today sitting in a chair and did not use his usual set. I have known these fellows for years, but as sentiment has nothing to do with business I doubt if they made good for the money. Olio in one, 20 m. This act goes to Toledo.
GUS EDWARDS' SCHOOL BOYS & GIRLS: Corking good act. Full stage; close in one. this act goes to Indianapolis.
THE HOLD-UP --- A corking good miniture melodrama. It takes 15 minutes to set this act. 16 minutes full stage. This act goes to Dayton.
