BOSTON SHOW - WEEK - MARCH 27. 1911. H.G. Larsen.
(Monday afternoon.) 
DORENZO & LADUE. 6 minutes f.s. Black cyclorama. Very good and showy aerial act. Not quite as fast as the Flying Martins.
ART BOWEN. 11 minutes in one. Singing cartoonist. Bowen has a good lively act of the kind, the singing adding considerable novelty to his cartoons, and he went big this afternoon.
CLARENCE WILBUR & HIS TEN FUNNY FOLKS. In "The New Scholar." 24 minutes f.s. special set. This troupe has not as much life as when last played here, although there has been practically no change in the lines. As it is at present, Wilbur does all the work and has a hard time of it, and he has very little encouragement from any of the others. The only other man in the piece does not begin to get the fun out of it that there used to be in the part. However, the act got laughs this afternoon, but closed rather weak.
MARSHALL MONTGOMERY. 21 minutes in one. Montgomery is one of the best of the ventriloquists we have played lately, and this afternoon woke up the audience in very good shape. 
ALICE RAYMOND & HER PLAYERS. In "A Night in Egypt." 16 minutes f.s. special set. This is a rather showy musical act, all brass, with the orchestra leader singing a song. While not a tremendous hit it made a very pleasing feature of the bill.
WILBUR MACK & NELLA WALKER. 15 minutes in one. Special drop. Doing "The Girl and The Pearl" in which they have appeared here before and pleasing as well as ever.
VALERIE BERGERE & COMPANY IN "HIS JAPANESE WIFE." 29 minutes f.s. Miss Bergere as usual, dressed the act beautifully, and has brought it up to date in the matter of slang. This afternoon went as well as it ever did in this house. 
SHARKEY, GEISLER & LEWIS. 15 minutes in one. A very good rathskeller trio that held the spot all right. Although they did not have a song on their repertoire that has not been sung here already this season. 
ROYAL TOKIO JPANAESE TROUPE. 14 minutes f.s. special drop. This is one of the best troupes of Japs we have played. Has a good opening, with three different feats run at the same time. Their work includes juggling, slack wire, tight rope work, tumbling, pyramid building, and some wonderful balancing.
PICTURES. "Army manouvers on the Mexican border." A rather good and timely film.
CUTS. Marshall Montgomery - "what the Hell" - also reference to bar-rooms and beer. 
Wilbur Mack - last verse of "It Will Be A Long While" about another man's wife.
