(M. J. Keating)

Supplementary Report of Boston Show, Jan. 10, 1905.

The following acts were added Tuesday, Bedini and Aurthur to fill needed time, and Dixon and Anger, the place made vacant through the loss of Frank Bush.

Bedini and Arthur, 2 shows, 18 min. open full stage, close in 1 -- In their familiar comedy juggling specialty, which scored the laughing hit of the show, as always. Bedini was a little stiff, owing to the dislocation of his arm and the fact that he has not practiced in six weeks past, but Arthur's comedy was simply a scream.

Dixon and Anger, 2 shows, 15 min. in 1 -- Conversational comedians, one working straight and the other in the customary German comedy makeup. They had a stiff place in the bill to fill and negociated it with fair success. In an early spot, say about 2.30 and 8.30, and think they would make a big hit, as their material is new and decidedly funny.

Under a new arrangement of my show every act is going much better than yesterday's report might lead you to infer.
