Boston Show, Week of April 12, 1909. Carl D. Lothrop. (Monday, April 12th--Afternoon Show) Overture. 1.47, 11 minutes. Binns, Binns & Binns. On at 1.38, 15 minutes full stage. Can close 4 minutes in one if necessary. This well known act did as well as almost any act could in this hard position, but with the advent of two shows a day, it seemed important to us to start things going at a fast pace and this act looked to be the one to do it. Of course, in a way it sacrifices it, and there is no question but what it would go much better further down the bill. -2- A Three Minute Wait, which was not expected. Wilfred Clark & Co. On at 3.30, 16 minutes in full stage. Playing "What Will Happen Next?" Made the customary great big hit. Always sure fire. This sketch certainly wears wonderfully well, due possibly to the action being so fast that the audience has scarcely time to think what it is all about. Ben Welch. On at 4.06, 23 minutes in one. He got to the audience from the start and held them in fine style. Has quite a batch of new material. One of the most satisfactory "in one" acts we play. The Four Harveys. On at 4.29, 10 minutes full stage. A truly great wire act. The two girls have striking figures and are most tastefully costumed. A showmanlike exhibition that would make good on any bill. Kinetograph. On at 4.39. "Schools Children of Paris at a Summer Holiday Home."--Very interesting. "Toomie's Own Invention" A pleasing comedy picture. Comment. From to-night on this bill should prove to be a corking good show, thoroughly satisfactory as the inaugural programme of the two a day policy.
