B.F. KEITH'S THEATRE.
BOSTON SHOW -- WEEK MARCH 4, -- 1912.  (R.G. Larsen.)
(Monday night show.)

REBA and INEZ KAUFMAN. 9 minutes f.s. 3 min. close in one. Special drop. Pretty, dainty, and altogether attractive dancing act with short close in one. Went well. Might go further down.

BERT CUTLER, BILLIARD EXPERT. 14 minutes f.s. C.D.F. Cutler is a good entertainer.,,Keeps up a running fire of interesting patter all through his act, so that it is interesting even to those who do not understand billiards.

MR. and MRS. JIMMY BARRY. 24 minutes in one. Two special drops. Barry's new act is, I believe, better than his old one. It is a succession of laughs between a country Rube and an actress, and the action takes place at a stage door, and on the stage. The surprise finish is a good laugh.

MINNIE ALLEN. 13 minutes in one. Special drop. A clever, dainty entertainer who held the interest every minute, and finished strong.

ROBERTY TRIO. 10 minutes f.s. Palace. One of the best of the European dancing acts, and went big.

HOWARD and HOWARD. 18 minutes on one. Street. These fellows joined the ranks of the "I won't go on unless the bill is changed" bunch to-day, and although we intended to change the bill, they were so positive about the announcement that we did not change it to-night, and made them follow "California." This seems to me to be the heighth of nerve, considering the price we are paying these men, compared with Bert Fitzgibbon, whom there were afraid of. However, as I think Fitzgibbon has it all over them, we will change the bill to-morrow to please ourselves. 

"CALIFORNIA." 39 minutes f.s. Special set. This act went over in good shape to-day, made a great picture, and I think it is one of the best Lasky acts we have ever played.

BERT FITZGIBBON. 23 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. SAME OLD RIOT.

JOSEPH DE KOE TROUPE. 10 minutes f.s. Cut Garden. About the best acrobatic act we have played here in a long time. Held the audience although the show was fifteen minutes late.
