B. F. Keith’s Theatre 
Every so often a group of acts are 
placed on a vaudeville program in 
such a manner as to harmonize in- 
to what the public term ‘“‘a good 
show.’’ Just such a bill will be 
found next week at B. F. Keith’s 
theatre. Max’s Burlesque cireus will 
be one of the many big features. 
This, without any exception, the 
funniest and most unique  hippo- 
drome act in vaudeville. While it 
possesses all the clever performing 
animals of other circus acts it also 
introduces an element of comedy 
that is remarkable. The burlesque 
bull fight, the famous wrestling 
match between the clowns and the 
three riding dogs are simply a few 
of the many things worth seeing. 
Then there will be the Primrose 
Comedy Four. This act is known 
from the Atlantic to the Pacific as 
‘“Talf a Ton of Harmony’’. The 
four singers—and they can sing— 
have a total weight of about 1,000 
pounds. Every member of the quar- 
tette weighs more than 240 pounds.
