REPORT on BOSTON SHOW for WEEK of FEBRUARY 15 - 1915.
(R. G. Larsen.)
WALLACE BRADLEY and NEVENA NORRIS  14 minutes f.s. Special Set. Man and woman doing a fast routine of songs, dancing and bicycle riding. An excellent opener.
ROACH and McCURDY  21 minutes in one. Special Drop. Their second visit here. Going as well as ever.
MacMAHON, DIAMOND and CHAPLOW  16 minutes. Open Garden in one, go to Palace in two, close garden in one. One of the best and liveliest singing and dancing trios we have played in a long time.
NAZIMOVA in "WAR BRIDES"  36 minutes f.s. Special Set. The general opinion among the patrons at both performances was that "War Brides" is one of the greatest acts ever seen in vaudeville. Nazimova drew two big houses to-day. Went over exceptionally strong at the two performances Monday, taking eight curtain calls at the evening performance. A great headline attraction.
ANGELO PATRICOLO  14 minutes in one. Olio Drop. Pianist. this man has a very good programme. Went over first-rate.
PAUL CONCHAS  20 minutes f.s. Special Set. Doing about the same act he did last season. One of the bright comedy spots in the show.
VAUGHN COMFORT and JOHN S. KING  22 minutes in one. Special Drop. Apparently these boys were remembered from the Meistersingers Minstrels here last summer, for they got a reception. Held this position in splendid shape, with many laughs. Closed strong.
CAPTAIN TREAT'S TRAINED SEALS AND SEA LIONS  10 minutes f.s. Special Set. An excellent closing feature for one of the biggest and best shows of the season.
