REPORT ON [??]'S BOSTON SHOW week of June 19 - 1916.
[M?].C.Larsen.

[SITT?] and [MINTER?] 6 minutes f.s. Special [Drpaery?]. Conventional two-man hand balancing act. Good turn of its kind.

[MABELLE?]  [?SHERMAN?] AND ARTHUR [UTTRY?] 18 minutes in one. Garden Drop. Man and woman in songs. Passed, - and that's about all.

[CLAIRE VINCENT?] and CO in "THE [ILLEGIBLE]"  25 minutes f.s. Dark interior. A triangle comedy drama of husband-wife-lover, the lover in this case being the brother of the wife, who is plotting to cure her husband of infidelity. The piect is poorly cast, and long-drawn out. Some of the lines are a bit broad.

[illegible] [ALBRIGHT?] 17 minutes in one. Olio Drop. This man put over the first hit of the show. Has a wonderful personality, and his singing is good. Could hold any spot on the bill.

THE LANGDONS [16?] minutes f.s. Special set. this team have brightened up their set with new lines, a new scene, and a new [auto?]. one of the comedy hits of the show.

CLAIRE [ROCHESTER?] 15 minutes in one. Olio Drop. Miss [Rochester?] had pretty hard sledding. following Bob Albright who also does double-voiced singing.  Started rather quiet, but worked up to a good finish with her operatic number.

WILLIAM [GAXTON?]  and CO in "A ILLEGIBLE ILLEGIBLE MAN?]" 17 minutes f.s. Henry Woodruff and Douglas Fairbanks each played this sketch here. Despite the fact that Mr. Gaxton followed Fairbanks in the role, he put over a decided hit. Plays the piece at high speed with lots of [unction?], and got the laughs.

[HARRY? CARROLL?] and ANNA [ILLEGIBLE] 10 minutes in one. [illegible] Drapery. Have a good program of original songs, some of which are a bit [blue?], and put over on of the biggest hits in the 
show.

[illegible  MO?] GRAY and ANA? [illegible..VILLE] with ["ORION?" OR "ONION] 14 minutes in three. Garden Set. the feature of the act is Gray's roping and talk. Also does a bit of whip cracking. A good novelty closer.
