Boston show week January 31 '10 [1910]. (Monday afternoon) R. G Larson.

MUSICAL JOHNSTONS. 13 minutes f.s. This is one of the most effective musical acts we have played and this afternoon even though they followed a long and popular overture, got a good hand.

ED MORTON. 11 minutes in 1. Morton is one of the best singers we have had in this house. This afternoon he failed to get away with it as previously, but went much better at night.

MAREENA, NEVARRO AND MAREENA 10 minutes in f.s. A splendid act at all times and a big laugh getter this afternoon.

The NEAPOLITANS. 18 minutes in 1. The tenor of this organization contracted a cold a few days ago and this morning it was doubtful whether he would be able to go on. The trio, however, sand their entire act and got by.

JOHN HEFF and CARRIE STARR. 20 minutes in 3 with close in 1. This team is a decided novelty, and should be a welcome addition to the standard acts practically in 1. The act has improved 100 per cent since I saw it last summer at Henderson's and will hold down a hard spot on almost any bill.

LOIE FULLER'S BALLET OF LIGHT. Third week. 17 minutes f.s. Still doing business. We have sold out at every performance since the ballet was put on and stood up more people than we have since the introduction of the two-a-day. This afternoon was no exception to the rule and the sale for to-night is as large as ever. The act is working better all the time and has become town talk.

CLIFFORD and BURKE. 20 minutes in 1. Black face comedians hold down. rather hard spot in very good shape.

"AT THE WALDORF." 40 minutes f.s. This act is altogether too long to close a show as the audience after such bills as we have been giving, got restless. In reality it is nothing more than 40 minutes of vaudeville entertainment, singing and dancing. It held the audience better to-night however.

CUTS: Ed Morton - eliminate words "hell" and "Damn" from songs, Off and Starr - word "hell" from telephone conversation; Clifford and Burke - mother in law verse in song.
