Report on BOSTON SHOW for week of NOVEMBER 15th - 1915.
(R. G. Larsen.)
PATHE NEWS  17 minutes. One of the best series of pictures in some time. Coast defense practise with big guns, drawings of latest fashions, and big gun making for the Allies in American munition plants.
GERE and DELANEY  8 minutes f.s. Special Set. Roller skaters, working in a pretty North Pole scene. Good opener.
JOHN CUTTY  The versatile musician. 17 minutes in one. Plays piano, cornet, trombone, bugle, and other instruments. A fair act for this position.
MEEHAN'S LEAPING DOGS  13 minutes f.s. Garden. We featured this act strong, and the high jumping hounds brought round after round of applause at the close with their clean, fast jumps. A great dog act.
BEATRICE HERFORD  19 minutes in one. Olio Drop. Second week. Offering an entire change of monologue. Going as well as on her first week.
WHITFIELD, IRELAND and CO in "The Belle of Bingville." 13 minutes in one. Special drop. This act has been changed somewhat since their first visit. They have added an eccentric dancer, and now close with a rube tango and maxixe to trombone accompaniment. A hit.
NORA BAYES  28 minutes f.s. C D F The best act Miss Bayes has ever given us. New songs, "When Mother Was a Girl," and a great number introducing bits of all her old-time hits. A tremendous hit.
DONAHUE and STEWART  18 minutes in one. Street. Held this hard spot in great shape. A riot of laughs from start to finish.
GUISEPPE CREATORE and HIS BAND OF FIFTY  27 minutes f.s. Garden. This organization was put in as an extra added attraction on top of the regular bill. They played three numbers, a march; the sextette from "Lucia;" and "Faust." A wonderful closing feature to a great, big show.
