REPORT OF  SHEA'S SHOW, WEEK OF FEB. 27TH, 1905
CHESTER'S DOG, a very pretty picture act which seems to attract and hold the attention of the audience, full stage 10 minutes.
MELANI TRIO, a good singing and musical act, all in one 12 minutes.
FOY & CLARK, playing The Old Curiosity Shop, plenty od laughs, full stage 14 minutes.
ADELE RAFTER. This young woman was with the Bostonians for three seasons singing the leading contralto parts, with Mr. Bluebeard from the opening until the fire in Chicago playing the leading boy's part. This season she was with  the China Doll in New York, where she also at one sang the contralto part in the Run Away Girl at Daly's Theatre. Miss Rafter is a young woman of spelndid appearance, has a magnificent voice, is making good ere and drawing in a lot of money. Of course she is widely known in Buffalo as her home is in Dunkirk, 40 miles from here, where her father is the Episcopal minister; all in on 1  minutes.
CALLAHAN & MACK, this act is too well known to need comment, full stage 21 minutes.
PATTY BROS., acrobats who do everything different from other acts in this line, going very well, full stage 8 minutes.
JAMES J. MORTON, the best monologue we have had for a long time, all in one 18 minutes.
IMPERIAL JAPANESE GUARD, a fairly good act but not nearly as good in drilling as the Zouaves were. They attract a lot of attention and draw some money because of the present war and the finish of the act is very exciting; full stage 14 minutes.
KINETOGRAPH, all new pictures, 10 minutes.
