Boston Show, Week of May 31st, 1909. Carl D. Lothrop.
(Monday, May 31st--Afternoon Show.)
Overture. 1.50, 3 minutes.
The Daleys. On at 1.53, 14 minutes full stage. Could close in one about 2 minutes if necessary. This has the making of a thoroughly good roller skating act. At present the comedy is not highly hilarious and the costuming is crude, but the real work is immense. At the price, $75.00, it is a big bargain. Would be worth $125.00 easily if whipped into shape.

Bert Leslie. On at 3.57, 20 minutes full stage. Playing "Hogan in Society," which is full of new Leslisms. A succession of screams from start to finish. The kind of an act that people go out and talk about, making it a sure business bringer.
Kinetograph. On at 4.17. "Wilbur Wright's Aeroplane."--One of the most interesting and timely pictures of the season. "Any Port in a Storm."--A good trick comedy film. "The Deacon's Love Letter."--A fairly good humorous picture.
Comment. A thoroughly entertaining show, moving smoothly and balancing well. It looks as though our hoodoo has pretty nearly worked itself out, the only unfortunate incident to-day being Stuart Barnes' loss of his new orchestrations, which caused some change in his turn, but the audience didn't know it.
