84 (M.J. Keating) Boston Show, Week of June 13, 1904. Stereopticon, 3 shows, 10 min? in 1 -- Usual collection of interesting home and foreign views. Fadettes orchestra, 2 shows, 60 min. full stage -- A pleasing program of popular music, received with no apparent abatement of interest on the part of the majority of the audience. Everything encored. Al. D. Weston, 2 shows, 12 min. in 1 -- Illustrated songs the pictures being the best in that line we have ever had, and the man a fairly good vocalist. Went quite strong, every song being encored. Phil Rado and Jessie Bertman, 18 min. open full stage, close in 1 -- Presenting for the first time here an act called, "The New Girl", which is simply a title for a collection of clever specialties, the man being much the better entertainer of the two. In fact, his acrobatic dancing has seldom been excelled here. Mr. and Mrs. Allison, 2 shows, 17 min. open full stage, close in 1 -- First time here for these people. They have a sketch called "Minnie from Minnesota", in which the woman plays the part of a Swede slavey that is decidedly original and mirth-provoking. The act went big, the woman being the cleverer of the two, in this case. Nat LeRoy and Minnie Woodford, 2 shows, 16 min. in 1 -- In their well known talking specialty, which is too well known on the circuit to need any lengthy comment from me. Went quite strong. The three Madcaps, 3 shows, 9 min. full stage -- These girls are not in the same class with the original acrobatic dancers whom we have played under the same name, but from a 3-a-day viewpoint they can be classed as good. Possibly the audience does not detect the difference, as they went well. Ethel Levy, 2 shows, 12 min. in 1 -- First time in five years for this clever singing comedienne, who scored the hit of the bill, especially in the rendering of her husband's famous song success, "If I Were Only Mr. Morgan." possibly better than that of last week. It all went well with today's audience, and there is no reason to suppose that it will not continue to please throughout the week.
