Boston, Mass..    B. F. Keith's    Jan. 14th.,    8.
Hearst Pathe Pictures;- World current events - O.K.
Jack & Cora Williams:- 7 min., f.s., spl. set. This act has a very showy setting and the girl does some very clever stunts while hanging by her teeth in midair. The finishing trick is a "corker" and put the act over to a good hand.
Parish & Peru:- 10 min. in 1. These two boys have a decided novelty for dancing and acrobatic turn and pleased very much in No. 2 spot.
Dorothy Regal & Co.:- 22 min. in 1 and f.s., spl. This is a sort of comedy drama that kept our audience well interested and closed to a good hand.
Dorothy Brenner:- 17 min. in 1. Spl. Miss Brenner has a list of original songs and some very beautiful costumes; closing with a "Kiddie" number. She has made wonderful progress since her previous appearance here and was one of the hits of the show.
Alfs. Loyal Dogs:- 10 min. f.s.. This act is unique and original in conception and did very well in its spot.
Robt. Emmet Keane:- 15 min. in 1. This popular comedian has a new set of stories and put them over in good style, closing to a big hand.
Valeska Suratt:- 28 min., f.s., spl. This is Miss Suratt's first appearance here in a sketch of this nature and she has surrounded herself with an exceptionally strong cast. The act held the interest of our audience throughout and closed to a very good hand.
Duffy & Inglis:- While these boys played here not over 3 or 4 months ago, they were well liked, but came back much too soon.
Mazie King:- 15 min., f.s., spl. This girl does all the modern dances on her toes assisted by male partner who also does very good work. Miss King makes a few changes of costume and the act did well in closing spot.
Remarks:- We are starting our evening performance at 7.30 closing at 10 o'clock in compliance with the ruling of the Fuel Administrator.
Cut:- Dorothy Regal:- Please eliminate the word "Bushwa" from your act.
