Waldhorn Quartette and Gustav F. Heim. On at 3.25, 16 minutes in one. An instrumental novelty, presented by four French horn players and the cornet and trumpet soloist of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. A high class number that made a very strong impression. Heim is a wonderful cornetist, while the background afforded by the French horns is out of the ordinary and altogether pleasing. XX1 "Act 2" "Mrs. Temple's Telegram." On at 3.41, 39 minutes full stage. Wallace H. Goldsmith. On at 4.20, 16 minutes, in 1 1/2 Second week of this local cartoonist. He changed his act entirely to-day, giving five sketches of his "Kid Klub" playing ball. XX1 "Act 3" "mrs. Temple's Telegram." On at 4.36, 36 minutes. It may be stated here that "Mrs. Temple's Telegram" is one of the best farces seen in Boston in many a day. It should be a hit with almost any stock company. Coakley and McBride. On at 5.11, 15 minutes in one. Doing their well known black-face singing and dancing turn. They never miss fire in Boston. XX1 Bowers, Walters and Crocker. On at 5.27, 9 minutes, full stage, 3 minutes close in one, 12 minutes in all. One of the best acrobatic comedy acts in vaudeville. It might be better to call it an eccentric comedy act as the acrobatic work does not take up very much time. A sure fire hit in any show. XX1
