REPORT on BOSTON SHOW for WEEK of MARCH 29th - 1915.
(R. G. Larsen.)
EL REY SISTERS  10 minutes f.s. Palace. A good, showy and lively opening act. Went over as big as ever.
LUCILLE and "COCKIE"  13 minutes in one. Olio Drop. A very good novelty.
ED FLANAGAN and NEELY EDWARDS in "Off and On." 17 minutes Open f.s. close in one. Doing the same act as before, and getting away with it as well as ever, with many laughs.
MARION LITTLEFIELD'S FLORENTINE SINGERS  19 minutes f.s. Special Drops. this is a very good singing act. Good selections and good voices, and went over strong.
FRANK FOGARTY  19 minutes in one. Special Drop. Pretty much the same line of stories that he gave us on his last visit, but got as many laughs as ever.
CATHERINE CALVERT and CO in "TO SAVE ONE GIRL" 30 minutes f.s. Rose interior. This is an exceptionally good sketch, like all Paul Armstrong has given us. While the audience is interested, and it got a few laughs, it is meeting the same fate of all the sketches of this type in this house. In a $5,000 bill it would be all right in an early spot.
ROBERT EMMET KEANE and MURIEL WINDOW  19 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. This is a rattling good lively act. Keane's stories got lots of laughs, and Miss Window scored strong with her songs. In fact, one of the best doubles we have played this season.
EVEREST'S MONKEY HIPPODROME  12 minutes f.s. Special Set. A big, showy act, with lots of comedy, which closed the show in splendid shape.
SOCIETY NOTE:- Miss Grace DeMarr paid us a short visit Monday morning. It evidently was her intention to be with us some time, but she was displeased with the running order of our bill, and took the first train back to New York. Miss DeMarr is greatly interested in charity, and during this and previous visits to Boston, contributed very liberally to the relief funds of the Bell Telephone and Western Union Telegraph Companies. The stockholders were sorry to see her go.
