BOSTON    KEITH'S    Nov. 24,    9
Kinograms & Topics of the Day:-Good.
La France Brothers:-12 min. F.S. Spec. Very clever head balancing on pedestals, made a nice opener.
Jean Barrios:-11 min. in 1. This boy certainly fools everybody in his female make-up, and went over very well in this spot. Without a doubt the most complete surprise of this kind we have played.
Tim & Kitty O'Meara:-14 min. F.S. Spec. This well known dancing act, assisted by pianist, have a neat production and neat routine of dances. Closed to a nice hand.
Milt Collins:-15 min. in 1. Held interest and closed to a fair hand.
Buzzell & Parker:-17 min. in 1-1/2 Spec. This is the best offering these folks have shown here, and went over very good.
Jimmy Hussey & Co.:-43 min. in 1. and 4 Spec. A novel production with an exceptional jazz orchestra and good comedy. Went very big.
Bailey * Cowan:-15 min. in 1 Spec. These boys, assisted by Estelle Davis who wears some very pretty gowns, have rather a tough spot on account of the music in Hussey's act, but held it nicely and closed to a good hand.
Gruber's Animals:-10 min. F.S. Spec. A very good animal act and held the audience very well closing.
CUTS;-Milt Collins: Please eliminate "petticoat" subject altogether, line "Full of ambition", "best Senate money can buy", "take off his pants" gag, "united suckers", "dambassadors", and the mention of "prohibition", from your act.
Buzzell & Parker: Please eliminate song "When it comes to loving", the line "old established firm", "Children" gag, "Conscience guide you", "perfume" gag, "feel warm" gag, from your act.
Jimmy Hussey: Please eliminate "conscience be your guide" gag, and the word "Hell" from your act.
