B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE.
BOSTON SHOW - WEEK JANUARY 29, 1912.    (R. G. Larsen.)
(Monday Night Show.)
LEON and ADELINE SISTERS. 12 minutes f.s. A comedy juggling act that does well enough to open a show, but would not want to play it any later on a bill of this kind.
CONNOLLY SISTERS. 14 minutes in one. A fair sister act. Held this spot, but could not do very much more.
ISHAKARA BROTHERS. 9 minutes f.s. We had these people closing the show to-day, and they went big. But I needed something in this spot to wake things up.
FAY, 2 COLEYS and FAY. 14 minutes in one. In this spot they went very well, and got lots of laughs.
BERT LESLIE and CO. in "Hogan, the Painter." 15 minutes f.s. Doing pretty much the same line of stuff, and getting it over, although not a riot.
BILLY GOULD and BELLE ASHLYN. 22 minutes in one. This is an act that I have been afraid of for Boston, and my fears were in a measure justified to-day. While they got over in very good shape, we have had better acts for far less money.
PRINCESS RAJAH. 14 minutes f.s. special set. The best of the dancers of this sort, with a beautiful stage setting. She is doing a better act than she ever did, and going big.
EDDIE ROSS. 15 minutes in one. Ross was the hit of the show this afternoon, and down next to closing to-night, they wouldn't let him off. With all due regard to Union Hill.
DIERS and HOWARD. 15 minutes f.s. A sort of Rice & Prevost act that we had opening the show, but put on to close, not because it was a riot, but because we thought it was good enough for the spot under these circumstances.
CUTS. Billy Gould - "Hell" - "house of a thousand scandals" gag - "harp" - "two men in elevator story."
Connolly Sisters - scratching leg and lifting dress behind.
Eddie Ross - "married twice in Boston and once in earnest" gag.
