123. (Carl D. Lothrop) Boston Show, Week of December 16, 1907. (Monday Dec. 16--Afternoon Show.) Overture. 1.32, 7 min. Tanner and Gilbert. On at 1.39, 15 min, full stage, 3 shows. They are doing a new sketch called "The Bugaboo", which I do not think is as good as their old one. They will never get into the 2-a-day class with this offering. Lyons and Parkes. On at 1.54, 14 min, in 1, 3 shows. Two young chaps, one of whom plays the harp remarkably well. The other makes his first appearance made up as a little girl of ten, but the make-up deceives nobody, for his walk is thoroughly masculine, as are his feet and legs. He changes to a boyish make-up, in which he looks much better, and dances very well to his partner's accompaniment. The act is thoroughly all right as a 3-a-day, and I believe it would have no trouble in filling the number two spot almost anywhere. However, I think that if they would cut out the female impersonation, which would necessitate a change in a couple of the songs, the act would be greatly improved. Wilton Brothers. On at 2.08, 7 min, full stage. This well-known comedy-bar act gave the show a great start. They never fail to score in this house. Ryan and White. On at 2.15, 9 min, in 1, 3 shows. I do not know of a better dancing act on the stage today. I would not hesitate to use them in any spot or place on the bill. One of the real good things of the season, at its price. Galetti's Monkeys. On at 2.24, 16 min, full stage. While I do not think that these monks are as well-trained as several other troupes, still Galetti has a way of handling them that leaves the impression with the audience that their misses are a part of the act. As a laugh-getter this turn is a corker. It is possible for this act to finish in 1, for about 4 min., which certainly adds considerably to its value. Italian Trio. On at 2.40, 12 min, in 1. Went extremely well today, although I do not think they are in quite as good form as last season. O Kinetograph P Goetz and Nelson
