68 (M. J. Keating) Boston Show, Week of May 23, 1904. Stereopticon, 2 shows, 10 min. in 1 -- Usual collection of interesting home and foreign views. Fadettes Orchestra, 2 shows, 63 min. full stage -- Apparently just as strong as ever. All selections applauded, especially a high class violin solo by Mrs. Wilczek, the concert mistress of the organization. Watson and Hills, 3 shows, 10 min. in 1 -- Two young men in full dress, in songs and dances. A neat and pleasing act, which went excellently in this place in the bill. Ed and Nettie Masse, 3 shows, 15 min. in 3 -- comedy jugglers, the man being quite skilful and a fairly good comedian. At the finish of the act the woman does some plate catching that eclipses that of Mlle. Olive for rapidity and sureness. Belmont and O'Brien, 3 shows, 15 min. in 1 -- Finding I was short of show I booked these men to fill the gap, and they went strong in this place in the bill. Belmont makes up eccentric while O'Brien works straight. It is a good act for the 3 show section. Kreisel's Dogs, Cats and Monkeys, 3 shows, 13 min. full stage -- A nice, clean little act that pleases the women and children at the matinees. Not of sufficient importance to interest the male patrons. The Village Choir, 2 shows, 17 min. in 1 - A mixed quartet of excellent vocalists, who were probably, next to the Fadettes, the applause winners of the show. Monroe, Mack and Lawrence, 2 shows, 15 min. full stage--Presenting their new act, "The Two Senators," which scored the laughing hit of the show. Monroe, as always, was tremendously funny in this sketch. George C. Davis, 2 shows, 18 min. in 1 -- This man turned up in splendid condition and did excellently. His opening song went so slow that we will cut it out for the balance of the week. His stories were a mixture of old and new, and secured many laughs. He did not do his imitations of Irving or Kelly, but will introduce them the latter half of the week. The Four Welsons, 2 shows, 10 min. full stage -- Quartet of German acrobats, who give an exhibition on swinging
