BOSTON SHOW - B.F. KEITH'S THEATRE - WeEK NOV. 4, 1912.

JUGGLING BURKES. 8 minutes in two. Garden. Can work in one. Two boys in a fast, neat club juggling act that started the show off in fine shape.

DAVID SCHOOLER and LOUISE DICKINSON. 18 minutes in one. Olio. A boy pianist and girl soprano in a very good singing and musical act. The piano solos went over big. Filled this spot most acceptably.

CUNNINGHAM and MARION. 11 minutes in one. Street. Practically the same act they have given us in the past, without a new line or change of any kind. Going as well as ever.

SIX KIRKSMITH SISTERS. 19 minutes f.s. Special set. Six extremely pretty girls in a high-class singing and instrumental act. All the selections were applauded, and they closed strong.

WILLIAMS, THOMPSON and COPELAND in "THE BURGLAR'S UNION." 13 minutes f.s. with long opening in one. Street and C.D.F. Apparently this old-time "nigger" after piece is of such an ancient vintage that it was brand-new to our audience, for they laughed heartily at both shows to-day.

FOUR MUSICAL KINGS. 14 minutes in one. Garden. Three men with guitars and a near-comedian with a fiddle, who play a number of selections, interspersed with songs and talk. Went fairly well.

JOHN J. MCGRAW, MANAGER OF THE NEW YORK "GIANTS." Palace arch f.s. 11 minutes. Aside from the interest attached to McGraw from a baseball standpoint, he has quite a good line of talk. Relates several new stories about his baseball experience, and gets them over in very good shape. Received a reception and his remarks were punctuated with frequent applause.

EMMA CARUS. 23 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. Miss Carus was a riot. Received a reception at both performances, and her songs went over big. Her numbers, with one exception, are new. I think her present act is better than the one she gave us last season. Held this hard spot in great shape.

STEINERY TRIO. 8 minutes f.s. Garden. A fast, comedy bar act that made an excellent closing feature.
