BOSTON SHOW WEEK NOVEMBER 27, 1911.    (R. G. Larsen.)    (Monday night show.)
LAMAZE, QUAIL and BLAISE. 10 minutes f.s. This is a very fair opening act with more or less comedy. Went very well here to-night.
MUSICAL AVOLOS. 15 minutes in one. These wellknown xylophonists woke up things in good shape and gave the show a splendid start.
McCORMICK and WALLACE. 17 minutes in two. Special drop. A ventriloquial act, man and woman, with a seashore drop which has considerable element of novelty. Went very good in this position.
H. T. MacCONNELL. 19 minutes in one. MacConnell went as well this time as he did on his last appearance here. The plant in the audience caused roars of laughter. The finish was very good.
JOHN C. RICE and SALLY COHEN. 26 minutes f.s. in "A Bachelor's Wife." As interesting as usual and got laughs all through.
STUART BARNES. 21 minutes in one. Barnes is doing about the same line of talk as when here last, but he has several new songs. With a very receptive audience he did not seem to go quite so well as usual.
SAM CHIP and MARY MARBLE IN "OLD [EDAM?]" 25 minutes f.s. Special set. Pretty much the same act with some new business, but as pleasing and popular as ever.
RED SOX QUARTETTE. 15 minutes in one. Composed of O'Brien, McHale, Bradley, and Lyons of the Boston American League team in uniform. These boys have been playing five weeks around here and they have been a big hit everywhere. To-day they were nothing short of a riot. We were obliged to move them down to this position and to-night the audience would not let them go. Outside of the fact that they are popular in baseball, they have a singing act that would get by anywhere. Their finish is unusually strong, and full of action.
BRADNA and DERRICK. 8 minutes f.s. One of the most beautiful horse acts we have played and a great closer for a splendid show.
CUTS. McCormick and Wallace - head beckonings of dummy - joke about "she was out drinking wine last night" - H. T. MacConnell - referring to orchestra as "a pathetic collection." "Sam Chip - joke about "could not look girl in face because of intermission lace in her dress.
