The bill at Keith's this week is exceptionally good. Although the acts are not startling in their newness they are all well executed and taken as a whole afford a very delightful evening of entertainment.
The act of Kara, eccentric juggler, is the first on the bill. In this sketch Kara gives a remarkable exhibition of skill and dexterity. An act of this kind, how-ever, usually falls flat unless some new and unusually difficult tricks are introduced. Kara has evidently recognized this fact and he does some things which seem almost impossible.
Next comes the act of Wilbur Swetman, the original and much imitated ragtime clarinettist, which although it shows Mr. Swetman to be a past-master at his art, does not elicit a great deal of applause from the audience. Perhaps however, this is because Boston people do not appreciate jazz music.
The sketch of Jim and Kitty O' Meara, entitled Memories of the Dance", gives an excellent exhibition of old-fashioned as well as ultra-modern dances.
The acts of George Watts and Belle Hawley and that of Jim McWilliams are essentially the same in that, although the actors do not show a great deal of skill, they keep the audience in a continual roar of laughter with their jokes and humorous songs.
Marie Nordstrom in "Tick Tack" proves to be the star of the evening. This piece is excellently done and gives conclusive evidence of Miss Nordstrom's above-the-ordinary ability and versatility.
The next act is a sketch by William Rock, who appeared in Boston recently in Rock, who appeared in Boston recently in Rock's Revue". Although the scenery of this play let is very protty and the acting good, it is not the best thing that Mr. Rock has done in a theatrical line.
Fred and Daisy Rial in "A Ringside Flirtation" complete the bill.
