Boston, Mass.    B. F. Keith's    March 19th    7
R. G. Larsen

ROSE and ELLIS  7 minutes f.s. Special cyclorama. Man and woman in a "bump" and barrel jumping act. The girl makes up as a clown, with white face, surprising the audience near the finish. Man does some wonderful barrel jumping, blind-folded. Good opener.
BERNIE and BAKER  12 minutes in one. Violinist and accordion player, in a lively repertoire of popular numbers. Considerable comedy is introduced. An excellent act. Going first-rate.
[NOON and NORRIS?]  12 minutes. Open f.s. Close in one. Palace and street. Doing the same act as on their last visit. Going well.
NINA PAYNE and CO  15 minutes f.s. Special sets. Miss Payne does four dances, with picturesque scenery and costumes done in the "new manner." Went over strong at both performances Monday.
[HUNTING?] and FRANCES  22 minutes in one. Special drop. These people have brightened up their act with some new quips and songs. A good comedy act in one. Went big.
DAVID SAPIRSTEIN  12 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. Classical pianist. Played three selections. Going well.
CLARK and HAMILTON  40 minutes f.s. Special sets. This act was a riot. First appearance here, and put over the hit of the show.
EVA TANGUAY  23 minutes in one. Plush drapery. Songs are all new to Boston. Splendid costumes. Went over very well.
"PATRIA" Episode #10  Train wrecks and automobiles jumping over cliffs, are the principal features of this week's installment. Holds the interest of about two-thirds of the audience.
Cuts
Clark & Hamilton - all cuts made in Providence were taken out before opening. Also word "damn."
