BOSTON SHOW WEEK JANUARY 23, 1911. R. G. Larsen. (Monday night.) 3 MASCAGNOS. 8 minutes f.s. This is a very good act with some typical European comedy. Would not care to play it further down than opening. AL AND FANNIE STEDMAN. 17 minutes in one. Man and woman with piano. Both are rather clever. Girl makes several changes, does some dancing, and is very good value for the money. SANDBERG AND LEE. 12 minutes in one. This is a Western team, something after the style of the old Smith and Campbell act, and are playing their first engagement in the East. These boys have some very good stuff and I should think would do very well in a great many places. Although they got lots of laughs to-night, it was very evident that the old style of sidewalk conversation has gone by in Boston. "THE LEADING LADY." 29 minutes f.s. This is one of the best acts of the kind we have played. The Englishman is a real comedian, and Miss Lorenz is both pretty and clever. The entire act is dressed better than any we have played in a long time and gave the best of satisfaction at both performances. WILL H. FOX. 20 minutes in one. Doing pretty much the same stuff and going as well as ever. MRS. GARDNER CRANE IN "THE LITTLE SUNBEAM." A riot at both performances. 29 minutes in two. WARD AND CURRAN. Promised to do 20 minutes to-night and did 28, but they went so big they were hardly to blame for it. BILLIE BURKE'S WILD WEST. 20 minutes f.s. This is an act that lends itself to advertising and I have no doubt whatever is largely responsible for the big business at both performances to-day. The specialties, such as sharpshooting, lariat throwing, and bucking broncho riding, are all good, and after the afternoon performance to-day the show was tightened up from 25 minutes to 20 and improved wonderfully. The comedy has been cut down until now it gets by in good shape, and this evening finished up one of the strongest comedy shows ever played in the house. CUTS. Al and Fannie Stedman - cut song "I'm not that kind of a girl" and cut motions when leaving stage. Sandberg and Lee - cut joke about "paving way to lower regions" and song parody "Meet me in Rosetime Rosie." Leading Lady - cut "What the devil" and avoid kicking hats thrown on stage in football number. Gardner Crane - cut "What the devil" and "I8ll be damned." Ward and Curran - cut reference to Lillian Russell and how many wives and how many children gags.
