KEITH & PROCTOR'S 125TH STREET THEATRE (Cont'd) MR. BENJAMIN CHAPIN Presenting his powerful one act play "At the White House". Mr. Chapin is supported by an excellent company of five people. Tremendous advance applause on his entrance and compelled to make respected bows. One of the greatest military plays we ever had. It is intense and holds the audience spell-bound to the finish. Several times during the act the lines were so strong the audience interrupted by spontaneous applause. Business improved fully fifty percent and I must give this man the credit. Applause hit the show with 9 curtain calls, 32 Min. full stage. WARREN 7 BLANCHARD Suprisedto hear this act fell down in some of the other houses. This afternoon they held their own and go the laughs with good strong applause on their finish. 18 Min. in one. PARADISE ALLEY Described in previous criticism. The act in general remains the same as when presented downtown. The company is excellent. The story well told, surrounded by excellent music and good dancing. The comedy end is well handled and received a big lot of laughs. While it did not finish strong, it negotiated the place in good shape considering the exceptionally strong show it followed. Pleased and is a good act. 26 Minutes full stage. KINETOGRAPH Jack, The Kisser Good
