B. F. KEITH'S HIPPODROME
Week of February 9, 1914 Cleveland, Ohio

JUGGLING DELISLE - - Garden in 3. 10 minutes. A fast juggling act in which DeLisle does some good stunts with old hats. (Harrisburg)

THREE BOHEMIANS - - 3 men street in 1. - 22 minutes. This act is entirely too long for the little in it. The men play different instruments and sing a little but lack novelty. Comedy work of one very tame and could be cut. (Cincinnati)

HILDA THOMAS & LOU HALL - - 24 minutes. F. S. Close in one. 3 minutes. There isn't much in the "Substitute" excepting Hall's comedy and piano playing. Miss Thomas is merely a foil for him. (Open)

AVON COMEDY FOUR - - 20 minutes. C.D.F. in 3. 4 men. This well known act of the slapstick variety "The New Leader" is as big a scream as ever. (Toledo)

ROBERT L. DAILEY & CO - - 2 men 1 woman. Light fancy in [3?]. 21 minutes. One of the best and most nonsensical farces we have had. (Indianapolis)

GUS EDWARDS' MATINEE GIRLS - - Open special in 2. 3 minutes. Close special full stage 22 minutes. A miniature musical comedy that is thoroughly satisfactory in every way. Went very well indeed and was thoroughly appreciated. (Chicago)

[KRAMER?] & MORTON - - 2 men blackface. 19 minutes. Street in 1. A clever team of singers, dancers and talkers, with a rich dialog. (Pittsburg)

HENRIETTA DESERRIS - - 15 women. 2 men. Full stage. 16 minutes. One of the best "living picture acts" I have ever seen. I believe the set has has the first Keith living pictures and also the later Marcel pictures beaten by a mile. The posing and grouping are perfect and the coloring effect could not be improved upon. (Chicago)
