Boston Show, Week of April 17, 1905.
Stereopticon, 3 shows, 5 min. in 1 -- Usual selection of interesting home and foreign views.
Mon, Henella, 3 shows, 18 min. opens in 3, closes in 1 -- Magician and illusionist, of good address and fair ability. About the same relative value as all the entertainers in this line. Makes a good opening act.
The Holdsworths, 3 shows, 13 min. in 1 -- Young man and woman, neatly costumed, in songs, banjo selections and dances. Went big, and would stand for a better place in the bill.
The Two Ashtons, 3 shows, 12 min. full stage -- In a straight comedy juggling specialty. got lots of laughs and some applause. Good act for the 3-show section.
Grace Leonard, 3 shows, 15 min. in 1 -- This girl calls herself "The American Vesta Tilley" and is really a clever artist. In fact, if she were advertised big and given a place on the program, she would score a hit. Went excellently.
William E. Hickey and Lillian Nelson, 2 shows, 10 min. full stage -- Presenting their old act, "Twisted and Tangled", which has been done to death. It did better in this place than it would have done further down the bill, getting the audience well started along the path of good humor.
