REPORT ON BOSTON SHOW (KEITH'S) WEEK OF DECEMBER 6th '15.
(R. G. Larsen)
BEEMAN and ANDERSON  5 minutes f.s. Palace Set. Comedy roller skaters. A good act, but a very short one.
HENRY G. RUDOLF  9 minutes in one. Street. Has a good voice and filled this spot acceptably.
ARNAUT BROTHERS  11 minutes f.s. Palace. Close in one. Olio Drop. Duplicating the hit they scored on their last visit here.
"THE HIGHEST BIDDER" WITH LYNNE OVERMAN AND CO. 21 minutes f.s. C.D.F. Comedy sketch with some bright lines and fairly well played, but not up to the standard of Mr Ruskay's other sketches, "Cranberries" and "The Meanest Man In The World."
MISSES LIGHTNER and ALEXANDER  14 minutes in one. Olio Drop. Two pretty girls and a man in a very good singing and piano act, with a little comedy. Made quite a hit.
DOROTHY JARDON  19 minutes f.s. Interior. Miss Jardon is giving us one of the best singing acts we have had in some time. A hit.
RAYMOND and CAVERLY  25 minutes in one. Special Drop. Have some new stuff mixed up with the old, including a new topical song about Bryan, Ford and Wilson that went very big. Scored very strongly.
"THE BRIDE SHOP" 44 minutes f.s. Special Set. This act seems to have improved considerably over last season, when it was one of the biggest hits we played. Andrew Tombes again made a personal success. Held the house seated to the finish. Went very big.
