B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE.
BOSTON SHOW - WEEK JUNE 3, - 1912.    (R. G. Larsen.)
(Monday night show.)
BAPTISTE and FRANCONI. 8 minutes f.s. C. D. F. Head-balancers with some foreign comedy that is about on a par with that of most acrobats who try to be comedians. These men were moved up tonight from closing position, and went much better than they did this afternoon. A fair opening act.
CUMMINGS and GLADYINGS. 11 minutes in one. Special drop. Man and woman with songs and dances. A good lively act that woke things up in good shape. Went about as well as any act we have had in this spot in months.
DOROTHY ROGERS and CO. 14 minutes f.s. C. D. F. "Babies a la Carte." A first-rate comedy sketch that had the audience laughing in good shape all through it. Closed well.
THREE LYRES. 21 minutes in one. Olio. One of the hits of the show. Practically everything they did was encored. Closed strong.
KLUTING'S ANIMALS. 16 minutes f.s. Special drapery. One of the best trained animal acts we have ever played. Is beautifully dressed, the animals work without any apparent urging, and it proved one of the hits of the show here to-day. Closed to a strong hand.
TRIXIE FRIGANZA. 18 minutes in one. Olio. Miss Friganza tried to hold down the next-to-closing spot this afternoon, but was unable to do so. I moved her up here to-night, and she went better. Just about got by.
W. C. FIELDS. 22 minutes f.s. Special drop. Same old riot as always in this house.
HARRY BREEN. 16 minutes in one. Street. This was a hard spot for Breen, but he got away with it in very good shape to-night. Had the audience going after a few minutes, and closed well.
FLYING RUSSELLS. 4 minutes f.s. Garden. A double trapeze act much after the style of the Flying Martins. The work is fast, and they made an excellent closing feature.
CUTS. Cummings and Gladyings - word "booze."
Three Lyres - joke about "got in wrong berth."
