BOSTON SHOW WEEK NOVEMBER 21, '10.    R. G. Larsen.
(Monday afternoon.)
LE DENT. 10 minutes f.s. This is a fair opening act, and about only fair.
VERONA VERDI AND BROTHER. 13 minutes in one. Also a fair act, but failed to wake up things at all in this spot this afternoon. Rather disappointing.
O'CONNELL AND SIMPSON. 27 minutes f.s. This wellknown act, following the other two, had rather a hard time of it today, but woke up the enthusiasm.
HARRY L. WEBB. 18 minutes in one. This is Webb's first appearance here, and it was some time before he managed to "get" the audience, but his finish was good.
NAMBA TROUPE. 10 minutes f.s. this is one of the best troupes we have ever played, and it is making good on the featuring we are giving it.
GUS EDWARDS' SONG REVUE. 37 minutes opening in one, close f.s. Edwards is going even better this week than he did the first, judging by the reception he gets and the applause.
CARSON AND WILLARD. 18 minutes in one. Doing their old act, "In Egypt," This is a hard spot but are getting by in pretty good shape.
CAPTAIN TREAT'S SEALS. 12 minutes f.s. This act proved to be a novelty, and the seals and sea lions worked first rate to-day.
PICTURES. "A Honeymoon from Canada to Hong Kong." One of the best comedy pictures we have had in a long time.
CUTS. Le Dent; word "rotten."
O'Connell and Simpson; "mother-in-law;" Hell; "good dresser on and off;" word "rotten."
Harry L. Webb; "blazes;" changing word "chambermaid" in "putting me in the bath tub" line. cut cradle story.
Carson and Willard; cut last verse in "ship went around a bend;" modify "couchee" dance.
