B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE - BOSTON - WEEK FEBRUARY 24th, 1913.
(R. G. Larsen.)
CHARLES and ANNA GLOCKER. 11 minutes f.s. Special drop. Water jugglers. A novel act with some good comedy that started things off in great shape.
AUBRIA RICH and TED LENORE. 11 minutes in one. Olio. Man and woman, songs, dancing, talk, and piano playing. A rather neat little act that filled this spot acceptably.
ROSALIND COGHLAN and COMPANY in "The Obstinate Miss Granger." 20 minutes f.s. Dark interior. Got quite a lot of laughs at both performances, and closed well.
ELSA RUEGGER. 14 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. this lady cellist scored a most decided hit at both shows to-day.
TOM NAWN and COMPANY in "Pat And The Genie." 25 minutes f.s. Special set. Nawn is doing his old act this trip, but it is so long since it has been seen here that it was apparently new to the majority of our audiences. Kept the audience laughing every minute he was on the stage. Close strong.
THOMAS A. EDISON'S TALKING MOTION PICTURES. 14 minutes picture sheet in one. That this latest invention of Mr. Edison's has the whole town by the ears was proven conclusively to-day, when we packed the house to the doors at both performances. Hundreds were turned away. The pictures worked perfectly, and created a tremendous impression. The films were interrupted by frequent applause. At the finish, a slide of Mr. Edison was thrown upon the screen, and it was greeted with thunderous applause.
LEE WHITE and GEORGE PERRY. 17 minutes in one. Olio. Same big hit they scored on their last visit, with all new songs.
JO BOGANNY TROUPE OF LUNATIC BAKERS. 14 minutes f.s. Special set. A riot of laughter from start to finish.
BERT FITZGIBBONS. 22 minutes in one. Street. Same old riot.
SAMMY WATSON'S BARNYARD CIRCUS. 15 minutes f.s. Landscape. Sammy went on at the time our pictures are usually shown, owing to an exceptionally long show, but he held the house almost to a man. Went as big as ever.
CUTS: Rich and Lenore - "Parcel post man" song - parody on "Row, Row, Row," - "milkman habit" gag. Bert Fitzgibbons - "I'm going crazy song, and expression "My God." Also "Row, Row, Row," parody.
COMMENT: One of the biggest and best shows of the season. Exceptionally strong on comedy.
