BOSTON SHOW WEEK OCTOBER 30 - 1911.    (R. G. Larsen.)    (Monday night show.)
DARE BROTHERS. 9 minutes f.s. Hand to hand balancing act and a very good one for an opener.
BROOKE and HARRIS. 17 minutes in two, special drops. This is a man and a woman talking act. Both have very good personalities but the stuff is not of the best. Would not like to put it further down.
O'BRIEN, HAVEL and CO. 20 minutes f.s. in his sketch "Monday." this team has got something different and fully as good as the old, as far as laughs are concerned. Went very well to-night.
ED MORTON. 14 minutes in one. With a good line of songs and going very big.
THE REXOS. 12 minutes f.s. This roller skating act was put in to replace Reynolds and Donegan, and they are certainly making just as good an impression as the other act.
JOLLY, WILD and CO. 21 minutes in one. A lively act inclined to be a bit overdone at times, but held the spot in great shape.
MAX HART'S "EVERYBODY." 30 minutes f.s. two special sets, long opening in one, special drop. Held the interest every minute and has a better element of comedy than "Everywife," which helps it considerably, while the story is equally interesting. It certainly made a good impression at both performances here to-day.
BIXLEY and LERNER. 18 minutes in one. Lerner is a dead ringer for Fink, and when they came on to-night it is doubtful whether any of the audience recognized the difference. The act itself went fully as well as the old team.
MARTINETTIE and SYLVESTER. 8 minutes f.s. Closing the show as usual with a scream.
CUTS. O'Brien, Havel and Co - reference to "Mr Keith." "We never thought we would see so much of you" gag.
Jolly, Wild and Co - "black crook tights" story and wriggles at piano.
Bixley and Lerner. Melba's wriggles and lifting dress between legs in front.

Saving...
