(M. J. Keating)

Boston Show, Week of Oct. 31, 1904.

Stereopticon, 3 shows, 7 min. in 1 -- Usual selection of interesting home and foreign views.

Mr. and Mrs. Lucier, 3 shows, 16 min. full stage -- In a rural comedy sketch, with violin and vocal specialties. Fair act for the 3-show section; makes a good opening.

Pierce and Maizee, 3 shows, 11 min. in 1 -- Excellent singing act, the woman making many changes of costumes, which are for the most part out of the ordinary. They carry their own drop but it does not cut much ice in the act.

Newell and Niblo, 3 shows, 14 min. in 1 -- Man and woman in instrumental selections no the saxaphone [saxophone], violin and zylophone [xylophone]. Fair act for the early part of the bill.

St. John and LeFevre, 3 shows, 13 min. in 1 -- Man and woman, in songs, dances and character imitations. Of average 3-show value.

May Evans, 3 shows, 9 min. in 1 -- Whistling soloist and imitations of birds and etc. All right in the early part of the bill.

The Maginleys, 3 shows, 10 min. full stage -- Man and woman working on double trapeze. It is a fair act, but the woman is getting too heavy for the work.

Helen Reimer, 2 shows, 16 min. in 1 -- Has been commented upon in the other houses. Her work went better here, possibly, than elsewhere.

Emmett Corrigan and company, 2 shows, 21 min. full stage- Presenting for the first time here the sketch, "Jockey Jones", which has not a line of comedy in it. The Jockey's dream was well managed and was liberally applauded, and at the close they were compelled to come before the curtain and bow acknowledgments.

Laura Millard, 2 shows, 10 min. in 1 -- Rather pretty woman, handsomely gowned, and a sweet singer. Did not go so strong, probably, as she will during the rest of the week, but should draw business on account of her former connection at the Castle Square.
