BOSTON SHOW WEEK MAY 22, 1911. R. G. Larsen. (Monday Afternoon.) OVERTURE. 19 minutes. Moving picture of "Il Trovatore" with music. this was repeated here after several months, and this afternoon it proved a better feature than ever, getting a big hand at the close. LA TOY BROTHERS. 11 minutes f.s. A very good acrobatic opening act. GORDON BROTHERS. 9 minutes in one. A rather neat singing and dancing act, doing pretty much the same stuff they did with Gus Edwards' School Boys & Girls. ANTONY TORELLO. 12 minutes in three. Mr. Torello was the double bass in the orchestra of the Boston Opera Company. He was brought here from Spain by the opera people and is without question the greatest artist on the bass viol that has ever been in this country. The novelty of the thing itself seemed to appeal to the audience this afternoon and he got a good hand after both his numbers. He is accompanied by piano. He is as expert with the "bull fiddle" as some of the best artists are with the cello. J. C. NUGENT. 26 minutes f.s. open in one. This is hardly an ideal sketch for hot weather, and 'jag" sketches are not as a rule very popular in this house. Mr. Nugent got laughs all through to-day and filled the spot very acceptably. PAUL LACROIX. "The Mad Hatter." 9 minutes in one. LaCroix has always been a favorite here and went very well this afternoon. IRENE FRANKLIN. 30 minutes f.s. She sang much the same songs as she did in New York, some of them not being near so popular as her old stuff. In fact, it was not until she got to the waitress that she really woke the audience up. She introduced a new song, at least, I never heard it before, called "The Janitor's Child," which is one of the best things she did. STEPP, MEHLINGER & KING. 15 minutes in one. This trio put up an awful holler after the show this afternoon about following Franklin, and wanted to close. Mehlinger is the biggest kicker, apparently, but they have agreed to go on to-night and the result is to decide whether they stay the week out. Their only objection was to following another piano act. HILL & SYLVIANI. 10 minutes f.s. Doing the same act and closing the show very acceptably. CUTS. J. C. Nugent - "mother-in-law." Music Hall Pawtucket R. I. 3 days May 22--23--24 Prof LeRaine & Co 3 people and they carry three people to come up from the audience, called Electrical Wizards, a few clever stunts but the meat of the act is comedy caused by the three supers getting shocks it went well 20 minutes Faynette Munroe Singing and Piano playing, 10 minutes in one, very ordinary, went fair Hassan Ben Alis Arabs 10 of them, acrobats, tumblers ect. do some very clever work, novelty, WENT VERY BIG. 10 minutes David R Buffinton
