38 Boston Show, Week of April 18, 1904 (M. J. Keating) Stereopticon, 3 shows, 5 min. in 1--Usual collection of home and foreign views. Frankie St. John and John LeFevre, 3 shows, 10 min. open in 2, close in 1--Singing and dancing specialties; better than the average act of this kind and would go further down in an ordinary show. Reed and shaw, 3 shows, 10 min. full stage--In acrobatic act, the most of the work being performed on suspended rings. Both men are splendidly developed, and give a fine exhibition, but the efforts of shaw to be comic are almost painful. The act should have a better place on the program, but it is not possible this week. It would be well to note, also, that they are repeated with too great frequency, as they were here in November last. Foster's "Mike", 3 shows, 15 min. in 1--Splendidly trained black-and-tan dog, who performs a variety of tricks, the best being the sounding of a bell while a tune is being played by the master. It is a capital small act. Hickey and Nelson, 2 shows, 10 min. full stage--Man and woman, in acrobatic comedy and dancing. They did not go very strong with the afternoon audience, but were on rather early, which cannot be remedied this week. It was apparent that they are not nearly so strong as when they came here first, and there has been absolutely no
