B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE Cincinatti, Ohio Week of January 22, 1912 TRIO DE GROS Casting act. - 10 minutes, full stage. Two men straight and one man, a dwarf, in comedy. The comedy is not good. There is nothing noteworthy about the act. Went only fair. Act is too ordinary and commonplace for this house, or for any Keith house, for that matter. Goes to LOUISVILLE. SIEMS: Danish conjurer. 10 minutes in One. Some splendid card and coin palming tricks. Best ever seen here. Goes to NEW YORK. McDEVITT, KELLY & LUCY: In a sketch called "The Piano Movers". 20 minutes, full stage, including 4 minutes close in One. One woman and two men. The men are the whole show. They do some grotesque dancing and piano-playing that are great. They are a big scream. One of the best comedy acts ever seen here. Goes to MEMPHIS. CAMILLE OBER: Vocalist. 16 minutes in One. Miss Ober sings four songs, reaching the highest known vocal notes. All four songs went big. Her costumes are also very attractive, and the act, as a whole, is classy. Goes to MILWAUKEE. HERMINE SHONE & CO.: In a sketch "The Little Goddess". 21 minutes, full stage. A scream from start to finish, with some new and novel features. Great act - went big. Goes to LOUISVILLE. LOU ANGER: "The German Soldier". 16 minutes in One. Mr. Anger has some new material, and considerable of his old. Had them laughing throughout and scored a hit. Goes to NEW YORK. GUS EDWARDS' SONG REVUE: 40 minutes. Opening in ONe and alternating between One and full stage throughout the act. Some of the features of last years' Revue are retained, and a number of scenes and features are new. Mr. Edwards himself occupies the centre of the stage most of the time, and all of his assistants are extremely clever. The act is vastly better than last season, and it was big then. It is probably safe to say that this is the biggest and best act, in all respects, that has ever been in this house. Went big throughout. Goes to INDIANAPOLIS. B. F. KEITHOSCOPE: Pathe's weekly. 16 minutes. Good. REMARKS:- With the single exception of the opening act, the show is a splendid one, one of the best of the season. CUTS: In act of Lou Anger, the expression "Red-headed, cross nurse". C. L. Doran.
