Boston Show, Week of Dec. 28, 1908.
Carl D. Lothrop.
(Monday, Dec. 28th--Afternoon Show.)
Overture. 1.30, 8 minutes.
Young and Wardell. On at 1.38, 12 minutes full stage, 3 minutes close in one, 15 minutes in all. Man and woman made up in Japanese costume. Man is exceptionally neat and clever juggler, while the woman simply acts as an assistant. A very good act in

Cook and Stevens. On at 3.57, 18 minutes full stage. One of the best teams of colored comedians in vaudeville, and a tremendous bargain at their present salary. Held this spot satisfactorily to-day. XX1

Maude Wulff and Prof. Wulff's Five Friends. On at 4.15 20 minutes full stage. We are playing these two acts in our circus set in which they show to good advantage. Miss Wulff is a great high school rider and has a fine horse. The hound that works in the act was not in good form this afternoon, owing to quite a long lay off, but I think will do all right from now on. Prof. Wulff has a better act than he had at the Hippodrome. It is different from anything else in the line and should please the children immensely. I consider that we were very fortunate to get these two acts this week, for without them our holiday bill would be a minus quantity and there seemed to be nothing else in sight. XX on the way they worked this afternoon, and I have every reason to believe that they will deserve XXI the rest of the week.

Kinetograph. On at 4.58. "The American Fleet in Australia," -- A rattling good picture. One of the best we have had this season. "The Doctor's Substitute," which is another name for "The Fake Doctor," a title we do not care for. -- A fair comic.
Cuts. -- Will Macart -- "Gold Blees you," Affinity, "Damned," and the female firemen, or rather, firewomen story. 
Comment. Far from being the show I wanted this week, but half a loaf is better than no bread, and I think we are bound to do business with it anyway. It has one redeeming feature, it is not, particularly expensive. We originally had Laddie Cliff and Jewell's Manikins for this week. It do-sn't take much of a judge to see what a difference they would have made.
