BOSTON SHOW WEEK NOVEMBER 28, '10. R. G. LARSEN. (Monday night.) HARRY TSUADA. 11 minutes f.s. This jap is a very clever performer, and went first rate in this spot to-day. MUSICAL JOHNSTONS. 15 minutes in one. Same standard act, as well received. GUS EDWARDS' "KOUNTRY KIDS." 24 minutes f.s. with close in one. This act is not nearly so good as it was when we last played it here. There are two "kids" in it that are fairly good, and the others are not. Has neither life nor ginger, XXXXX but went well in spots. TOM MAHONEY. 12 minutes in one. Mahoney went bigger here to-night, especially his hod-carriers' meeting, which seemed to catch the audience in good shape. ONAIP, THE HINDOO MYSTIC. 12 minutes f.s. This illusion played here about five weeks at the Food Fair, two years ago, but it has greatly improved since that time. The set is struck immediately after the illusion, showing a bare stage. It is certainly mystifying, and has the audience guessing. But it was very plain that the people know that mesmerism is pure "bunk" and they hated to show that they believed it. JOLLY, WILDE AND COMPANY. 18 minutes in one. First time we have played this act, and it went good in this spot at both performances, closing with a big hand. FANNIE WARD AND COMPANY IN "An UNLUCKY STAR." 18 minutes f.s. This act, while a hit, is certainly not as good as it was last season with another playing the part of the author. This afternoon he was absolutely lifeless, and at the best of times he does not seem to have the voice, although this evening the performance was very much better. WILLIAMS AND SCHWATRTZ. 16 minutes in one. Although the new songs were not as good as those played by either Williams and Van Alystyne or Jerome and Schwartz, last season, this act went big at both performances. CAMILLE TRIO. 6 minutes f.s. of red hot acrobatic knockabout work on the bars, and a good close. CUTS: Kountry Kids - omit business with bloomers. Jolly, Wilde & Co - cut lines "piano playing standing on head." Cut Eva Tanguay "chicken joke." cut "stewed" gag. cut or modify story about "ball players in church." REPORT ON COLUMBUS SHOW FOR THE WEEK OF NOV. 28, 1910. W. W. Prosser. JOSIE O'MEERS: Nice looking girl presents an entertaining wire act. Held attention all the way through. Scored a moderately strong finish. 7 minutes, garden in 4. WILIAMS & SEGAL: Young man and woman in a singing and dancing act, the latter predominating. Make a nice appearance and got along very well. Punctuations of applause and moderately strong finish. 9 minutes, olio in 1. WILIAM ELLIS & CO.: Two women, one man, in "The Sleep Walker". Comedy sketch a little out of the ordinary in theme and one that won a number of laughs. Fared quite well all the way through and finished fairly strong. 16 minutes, C.D.F. GOLDSMITH & HOPPE: Two men in a comedy talking musical act. Their work went very well and they finished very strong. 19 minutes, street in 1. FRANK KEENAN & CO.: This well known act scored the biggest kind of a hit, many curtains being taken at the finish. A-1 in every respect. 26 minutes, special set in 3. CHARLES & FANNIE VAN: In "The Stage Carpenter's Experience". Notwithstanding the difficulty in following Keenan the trio got along very well. There was liberal laughter all along the line of a fairly strong finish. Perfectly satisfactory. Special set in 1, 19 minutes. THE GREAT GOLDEN TROUP: Russian singers and dancers, all making a very good appearance, the singing and dancing both scoring strongly. Had no trouble in holding the house and the finish was strong. Special set in 5, 14 minutes. MOVING PICTURES: O.K.
