Keith-Albee managers' report book, May 11, 1914-July 1, 1915

REPORT FROM B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE. BOSTON. MASSACHUSETTS
Week of May 19th 1914. (Robert G. Larsen)
MOTION PICTURES OF CORPORAL HAGGERTY'S FUNERAL 20 minutes sheet in one. A very timely and intresting series of views of the arrival of the armored cruiser "liontana" in New York, the exercises at that city, and the funeral of Corporal Haggerty at Cambridge.
THE ROSAIRES 8 minutes f. s. Garden. Man and woman in a rather neat little act on the slack wire. An acceptable opener. 
KENNY & WALSH 13 minutes in one. Olio Drop. Conventional manaandwoman singing and dancing act, with a programme of songs of the vintage of 1910. People are clever and have pleasing personalities, but how in the world they ever expect to get by in high-class vaudeville with the progame they are using, is a mystery. Only one of their songs is new, all the others having been sing to death here season before last. 
DEWITT, BURNS and TORRENCE 14 minutes f.s. Special set. Same act they have given us before, and going about as well as on previous visits.
PAULINE WELCH 17 minutes in one. Olio Drop. Miss Welch has some good songs, one about her hubby, "Bud" Fisher and "Mutt and Jeff," which makes a hit. Went very well in this position.
FRED J. ARDATH and CO. "Hiram on the FARM." 26 minutes f.s. Special set. The roughest bunch of "hokum" ever thrown together. but it made the audience scream with laughter, The comedy hit of the bill.
"BUD" FISHER 14 minutes in two. Special frame. About the same act he gave us before. Going very well, "Bus" brings his wife, Pauline Welch, one the stage at the finish and draws her picture.
GREAT LEON & CO 18 minutes f.s. Two special scenes. Has a good routine of magic and illusions. Went very well. 
MULLER & STANLEY 17 minutes in one. Street. Same big laughing hit as on previous visits. Held this spot in great shape. 
MISS ORFORDS WONDERFUL ELEPHANTS 17 minutes f.s. Garden. Second and last week. Going as well as ever.
