Boston, Mass.,    Boston    Nov. 19, 1917.
Willie Bros.  11 min. f.s.. Three men in very clever "perch" act using ladder and pole. Made fine opening act for our show.
Grace De Winters;- 17 min. in 1. This girl has a ventriloquial act somewhat different, giving a serious of imitations of stage celebrities, changing costumes for each number. Went over well.
Gray & Byron;- 15 min. in 1-1/2. This boy and girl have a very good routine of talk and songs. Handled it in an artistic manner.
Pereira Sextette;- 16 min. f.s.. Spl. set. String orchestra composed of six men. They have a well arranged program and the numbers are all well played. The act is of a refined quiet nature, but went over good.
Roach & Mc Curdy;- 21 min. in 1-1/2 Spl. drop. This is the old "Pruneville Center" sketch that this team have played for several seasons. They got good many laughs all the way through. The act closed to a big hand.
