BOSTON SHOW WEEK JANUARY 2, 1911.    (R. G. Larsen.)
(Monday afternoon.)
VAN DER DOORS. 12 minutes f.s. This wellknown act made a good opener this afternoon. Got lots of laughs.
HATHAWAY, KELLY & MAC. 12 minutes in one. One man, two girls. Very fair act for this spot. Man has a good voice and girls are good dancers, but light on voice.
NEILL & CHAPMAN. 23 minutes f.s. Playing "The Lady Across the Hall." This is a very fair sketch in this spot, but lacked a little speed this afternoon. Is a little too long and not quite swift enough for modern requirements.
MELODY MONARCHS. 22 minutes in two. These boys made a pronounced hit here this afternoon with their songs and piano playing.
BEDINI & ARTHUR. 15 minutes f.s. Same big hit as ever.
ETHEL GREEN. 20 minutes in one. Miss Green is about the daintiest little comedienne we have had for some time, and her line of stuff is both original and clean. This afternoon she made a decidedly favorable impression.
EDWIN STEVENS. 26 minutes f.s. Playing "A Night Out." Stevens is always a favorite here and his new act, in which he introduces about everything he has ever done and some new stuff, went as big as ever, if not better.
HOEY AND LEE. In the new act, "The Hebrew Policemen." They had a hard spot following Stevens this afternoon, and only did about eleven minutes. At that I don't think their act is as good as the old one, although the boys had a hard spot and they talked fast too keep things moving.
SEBASTIAN MERRILL CO. 13 minutes f.s. This is a mighty good closing act. The comedy as a rule is good, although some of it might be omitted, and the finish is very sensational.
CUTS. Hoey & Lee - omit verse about green flags on baby carriage.
