BOSTON SHOW - WEEK - APRIL 17, 1911.    R. G. Larsen.    (Monday afternoon.)
LANDRY BROTHERS. 10 minutes f.s. Equilibrists and posers. A very good opening act.
HON & PRICE. 11 minutes in two. Two men drawing cartoons. There is an element of novelty in the two working together, but they are rather unfortunate in the selection of their  subjects. Did not make much of an impression.
FRED DUPREZ. 19 minutes in one. Duprez had an entirely new line of material and was hardly as strong as when he was last here, although he got a number of laughs and is one of the best monologuists we have to-day.
MR. & MRS. ALLISON. 19 minutes f.s. In "Minnie From Minnesota." They play the act just as well as they ever did, but did not seem to go as well or get as many laughs. Another case where the acts of the past are rather too slow for the present.
EDWARDS, VAN & TIERNEY. 17 minutes in one. This trio has changed their stuff considerably since they were here last, but unfortunately put in a lot of material that had been used here during the season. It did not begin to go as well as formerly. They will change to-night and I hope for better results.
ERNEST PANTZER & CO. 9 minutes f.s. This act is very much like the Willie Pantzer act, in fact, nearly everyone in the audience apparently failed to recognize the difference. Went very well although hardly as strong as Willie Pantzer's act.
COOPER & ROBINSON. 14 minutes in one. This couple held the spot in good shape and got as many laughs as ever.
PAUL ARMSTRONG'S "A ROMANCE OF THE UNDERWORLD." 39 minutes f.s. Three special sets. "Some act."
CUTS. "Underworld" - "damn." Ernest Pantzer - business with pants.
COMMENT. "The Underworld" certainly promises to be a money getter, as we sold out completely this afternoon, solely, it would appear, on the flash we made about it in the newspapers. The audience went away talking about the act.
