BOSTON SHOW WEEK NOV. 6 - 1911.    (R. G. Larsen.)    (Monday night show.)
CLEMENSO BROTHERS. 9 minutes f.s. This is a first class musical act that went big to-day at both performances. Comedy is very good.
SMYTHE and HARTMAN. 13 minutes in one. Singing and talking and a very good line of stuff and good voices. Hard spot for them but they went well.
BELDON-CHAPPLE and CO. In "Oh, Doctor." 20 minutes in two. This is a very good comedy sketch for number three spot on a bill. A rather clever idea full of laughs and got over in great shape.
JARROW. 17 minutes in one. Doing pretty much the same line of stuff and getting it over as well as ever.
CHARLOTTE PARRY. In "Into the Light." 24 minutes f.s. This is a very good novelty and Miss Parry's work is all that could be desired, but there was evidence to-day that patrons of this house, at least, have no great desire for the gruesome.
WORK and OWER. 7 minutes in one. An ideal act to follow the Parry sketch, and finished with a roar.
"A NIGHT IN AN ENGLISH MUSIC HALL." 23 minutes f.s. special set. All the same stuff with a lot of new people, who can hardly measure up to the standard of the original company.
BIG CITY FOUR. 16 minutes in one. The greatest quartette of the kind in vaudeville. Went big, although one of the men was hoarsed up considerably.
SEVEN PICCHIANNI BROTHERS. 10 minutes f.s. A rattling good comedy closing act.
CUTS. Smythe and Hartman - reference to mother-in-law. "Give his shirt to a chorus girl" gag. "Soused."
"Night in an English Music Hall." Boy in box instructed not to thumb his nose, look under girl's dress, nor tickle her leg during dance.
Picchianni Brothers have been instructed not to throw the American flag to floor and trample on it.
