HOWARD ATHENAEUM, BOSTON- Feb. 6-03.

HANSON & HARRIS-two men in comedy acrobatic act-A very good act, ends with the old time trick set cottage. Went fairly.
LEWIS & DELEONE-man and woman in an Irish comedy talking and singing act-of the rough sort-very good talkers-went finely. 21 min.
ALBURTUS & MITJIAR-the man a very clver juggler of clubs-the woman well known as a cornetist-she juggles clubs now in addition to her cornet work-a very fine set-sent big-19 min.
CORA MITCHELL-a woman with a weak measly voice and no good looks to brag of, only refined, sings and is assisted by a colored boy-Their voices harmonize prettily and this carries the act-went big-13 min.
J. V. RINGHAM-one of the best of ventriloquists-went big-15 min.
ENGSTROM SISTERS-fashion plates-poor voices-very little dancing but very chic-pretty act-went finely-10 min.
SANARET-an elegant dancer-very handsome-costumes perfectly grand-a man assists in Spanish Dance-went big-8 min.
WILL ROGERAY-black face monologue and singing act-Is really good and funny-went finely. Has a bad cold.
GONLIE GIRLS-16 of them- and a clown-this act is really an Amazon March-it is spoiled by trying to accomplish too much-cut out the dark stage and the clown, show the girls in bright light and the act would be very fine-The women are all fine looking and fine shapes, but the act is a disappointment-went big, but it was due to the neat stars and stripes thrown on the group-Costumes are very pretty, white and neat.
GEO. YEOMAN-German monologue and singing set-went big. A very bright act-10 min.
PARROS BROS-finest of all balancers-went immense-11 min.
CHARLES MCCARTY-in a bright monologue-went big-12 min.
BURLESQUE: As fine a looking lot of somen as one could wish to see. The singing is elegant-every turn in the burlesque went big.
