Boston, Mass. B. F. Keith's June 25th 7 SPRAGUE and McNEECE 8 minutes f.s. Special black cyclorama. A corking roller skating act by a man and a woman. The turn has "class" and the tricks are good. Fine opener. GOLET, HARRIS and MOREY 18 minutes in one and two. Olio drop and Palace in 2. Three men in songs and musical act with a little dancing. A rattling good act, full of "pep" and ginger. A hit. Could go further down. EADIE and BAMSDEN 12 minutes f.s. C.D.F. Man and woman in a comedy skit with a little dancing and singing. The act is built around the contortionist work by the man. The woman merely "feeds" him. None of the man's stunts are exceptionally clever. They went over first-rate. EMMA STEPHENS 20 minutes in one. Special Draperies. A single woman singer with a programme of semi-classical numbers, introducing a grand piano in one. Makes two changes of costumes, both handsome, and possesses considerable personality. Went over very well at both shows. CHARLES T. ALDRICH 16 minutes in f.s. Special set and draperies. It has been so long since Mr. Aldrich appeared here that his act seemed like new. A decided hit at both performances. FREDERICK V. BOWERS and CO and HIS SCENIC SONG REVUE 23 minutes f.s. Special drops. Mr. Bowers did not get over with the dash and vim of other days. The best thing in the act is the Hawaiian number, with a "Hula Hula" dancer, which got over. Moved him up here Monday night from next-to-closing. CONROY and LeMAIRE in "FOR SALE, A FORD" 19 minutes in one and two. Street and Wood scene. The same act they did with "The World of Pleasure." A riot of laughter from start to finish. AL and FANNY STEADMAN 17 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. This team put over one of the applause hits of the show. Ran Conroy & LeMaire a close race for the laughing honors of the bill. FIVE RETZETTIS 8 minutes f.s. Cut Garden. A great acrobatic act, with plenty of class and and some stunts that made the audience gasp. A fine closing feature. PICTURES OF ITALIAN RECEPTION and PARADE 7 minutes in one. These films were shown here Monday night, a few hours after the parade in honor of the Italian envoys. A timely feature and most of the audience remained in to see them. CUTS Conroy & LeMaire - mention of "twilight sleep" Al and Fanny Steadman - word "Hell," business of striking drop, and reference to "dust on piano"
