(M. J. Keating)
Boston Show, Week of July 4, 1904.
Stereopticon, 3 shows, 10 min. in 1 -- Usual collection of interesting home and foreign views.
Fadettes orchestra, 2 shows, 62 min. full stage -- One of the best selections of popular music they have yet played. As usual, were compelled to play over time, even by the holiday audience, from whom that sort of thing might not be expected.
Hathaway and Walton, 3 shows, 10 min. in 1 -- Young man and woman, neat dressers and of pleasing personality. Scored as strongly as any dancing act seen here this season, the young man, particularly, making a big hit. All right for any place in our bill.
Tony Wilson and Mlle Heloise, 2 shows, 9 min. full stage-In acrobatic feats on triple horizontal bars, aided by a bounding net. The woman is good looking, and a quick worker. Act made a hit.
Daisy Dumont, 3 shows, 11 min. in 1 -- Good looking firl, with a fair quality of voice, and neatly costumed. Did not open up very strong but went off to immense applause. Can be booked for return.
Merian's dog actors, 2 shows, 8 min. full stage -- This act went even better than Monday of last week. It is a shame to be wasting it at this time of year, as we are drawing no juveniles at all, due to the fact that they are for the most part out of the city. In the regular season the act might be run for a month or more very easily.
John Zimmer, 3 shows, 10 min. in 1 -- Skilful novelty juggler, making a specialty of bounding rubber balls to music. Went very strong.
Harry Stanley and Doris Wilson, 2 shows, 24 min open full stage, close in 1 -- This act, which has not been here for three years, proved to be one of the laughing hits of the bill. The man is a very good character comedian, and while the woman is not conspicuously clever, she is good looking and makes a foil of Stanley's work. As always, the specialty where he imitates the music of a clarinet proved to be the hit of the act.



it is, if we get any sort of decent weather, we cannot possibly help doing business.
