(M. J. Keating)
Boston Show, Week of July 18, 1904.
Stereopticon, 3 shows, 12 min. in 1 -- Usual collection of interesting home and foreign views.
Fadettes Orchestra, 2 shows, 65 min. full stage -- A pleasing program. Every number encored, especially a charming solo played by the Harpist of the organization, Miss Warner.
Bissett and Scott, 3 shows, 10 min. in 1 -- These chaps went very strong, their lively dancing being just the sort of thing desired after the Fadettes' music. They dressed neatly, and their opening song, while not very good, does not hurt the act any. Good for any spot in the early 2-show section.
Leonard and Drake, 3 shows, 15 min. open in 3, close in 1 -- Burlesque comedy and singing sketch, the feature being the closing song, in which clever imitations of animals are given. From the 3-a-day point of view, the act is thoroughly all right.
The Gagneaux, 3 shows, 13 min. in 3 (can close in 1, if necessary) novelty hand and foot jugglers, and equilibrists. Young man and woman, of distinctly neat appearance and fair ability. Went about as well as any act of this kind seen here for some time.
Thomas E. Clifford, 2 shows, 10 min. in 1 -- Local vocalist. He is probably the best singer in the baritone class we have ever had here, with a better personality and more cultivation than Spencer Kelly. Did not go very strong with the afternoon audience, despite of this.
Emil Hoch and Jane Elton, 2 shows, 21 min. full stage -- Presenting for the first time here the comedy sketch, "Mlle Ricci. which has been described from the other houses. There can be no doubt that the author of the little play had Clayton White's "Dicky" in mind when he wrote this piece, for dialogues and situations all suggest it. It is not so well acted as "Dicky", but nevertheless scored a laughing hit.
Delmore and Oneida, 3 shows, 9 min. in 1 -- Young man and woman, in a Japanese perch specialty. Always goes strong here and today was no exception.
