Crude slapstick has taken over stage and screen at the Keith Boston. "Spook House," better half of a double feature, is a four relier in which bedroomless newlyweds and aroller skating penguin run Dead Pan Buster Keaton a grotesque rat race. All the old Mack Sonnet gags are used--only the lack of a custard pic tossing scene indicates that the show wasn't filmed twenty years ago. On the stage, Hollywood's Three Stooges appear and disappear in person.
Technocrats since the campaign began, these Zanics offer their usual mad stunts. Brow-battering, car-tweaking, nose-picking Moc sings hoarse opera. And Mike, the guy with a dinosaur's build and Minnie Mouse's laryux, is anointed Bulgarian Golden Gloves Champ after a tooth and claw battle with Curley, the tapirnosed bald head. And all this goes on amidst rhumbas and tangoes by a red-hot Pan-American band! The more cultured group will be nauseated by rough and ready buffoonery which makes the Marx Brothers seem subtle by comparison. But if you like your humor simple and sincere, the Keithe Boston's dizzy program offers a bellyful of laughs.
