(F. J. O'Connor)
Boston Show, Week of Dec. 11, 1905

Stereopticon, 3 shows, 10 min. in 1--Usual selection of interesting home and foreign views.

Louis Guertin, 3 shows, 13 min. full stage--Novelty jumper  This man does an act on the order of LePage, but does not carry it out so 

James F. Morton, 2 shows, 14 min. in 1--"A Fellow of Infinite Jest". Needs no comment. Always big laughing hit here and today was no exception.

Watson's Farmyard, 2 shows, 17 min. full stage--Exhibiting a donkey, goose, roosters, hens and a pig. Act a distinct novelty and another of the sort of acts we should appreciate in our Christmas bill.

Kinetograph, 3 shows, 20 min. in 1--Showing the following list of interesting motion pictures:
1. Keep it Straight. Good comedy film.
2. Reception to Prince Louis of Battenberg in New York. Interesting.
3. Through the Matrimonial Agency. Fair comedy film.

Morton, Temple and Morton. 2 shows, 12 min. full stage (can close in 1, if needed with longer time). Comedy acrobatic and singing and dancing act. Quite a useful act for the early 3-show section.

John P. Clark, 3 shows, 15 min. in 1--Monologue and singing comedian. Appeared to be a little under the weather today and struck our audience as such in this awfully poor spot on the bill.

Comment:- The show is away ahead of that of last week, with no great distinct features at that. There are several acts on the bill that would appeal to Christmas audiences in this house. Fair day's business which will undoubtedly be better tonight.
