B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE.
BOSTON SHOW - WEEK MARCH 11 - 1912.    (R. G. Larsen.)
(Monday night show.)
BELLECLAIRE and HERMANN. 9 minutes f.s. Special drop. This wellknown act made a splendid opener here to-day.
THREE DUBALL BROTHERS. 10 minutes in one. Street. Three dancers who started the show off in a lively manner, and closed strong.
"TOP O' THE WORLD DANCERS." 23 minutes f.s. Special set. this act, all brightened up and new, went as well, if not better than it ever did. Full of life and ginger.
MAE MELVILLE and ROBERT HIGGINS. 20 minutes in one. Special drop. They are now carrying a special drop, and have quite a lot of new stuff. Went as big as ever.
"SLIVERS" OAKLEY. 15 minutes f.s. Special cyclorama. Doing his baseball pantomime, and getting it over in great shape.
WALTER C. KELLY. 22 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. With new stories, and still a big favorite. Nothing but laughs.
"THE ROSE OF MEXICO." 27 minutes f.s. G. Molasso and company of eighteen people. Three special sets. Open and close f.s. Without question one of the most beautiful stage productions ever seen in vaudeville, with three handsome scenes and splendid costumes. This is the most pretentious act Molasso has ever put on here, and the music is as tuneful as any we have had in a long time. while the act is in much better shape than it was last week at the rehearsal at Hammerstein's, it still needs a good deal of smoothing out, but for all that, it got over in very good shape at both shows to-day. It seem s to me to be far and away the best of the pantomimes so far.
WESTON, FIELDS and CARROLL. 12 minutes in one. Olio. About as lively a rathskeller trio as we have played.
TAKEZAWA JAPANESE TROUPE. 10 minutes f.s. Cut Garden. Four men in some conventional Jap stunts, all of which are well done. Makes a very fair closer.
NO CUTS.
