Boston Show, Week of May 10th, 1909. Carl D. Lothrop. (Monday, May 10th--Afternoon Show) Overture. 1.55, 13 minutes. Ben Beyer & Brother. On at 2.08, 12 minutes full stage, 4 minutes close in one, 16 minutes in all. The close in one was put in as an accomodation by Beyer to-day. An excellent comedy cycling act, introducing several new tricks and some very good comedy. A thoroughly all right opening act for any show, and a -2- Eugene and Willie Howard. On at 4.02, 20 minutes in one. They were a little slow in getting started this afternoon but once under way they moved at a fast pace. I expect to see the kid who plays the messenger boy doing a monologue one of these days, that will put him in class A. Four Onetti Sisters. On at 4.22, 10 minutes full stage. These girls present a most attractive novelty, aerial, gymnastic act. They are quite pretty and make a very pleasing stage appearance. The act is about on par with that of the Three Renards as regards merit and can be had at practically the same price. A from $200 to $250 it is a most decided bargain. Kinetograph. On at 4.32. "Moscow in Winter"--A very interesting picture. "Florrie's Birthday"--A fair comic. Comment. For the fourth successive Monday we were an act short at the opening of the show, Miss Hetta Vesta not putting in an appearance. However, she is to open to-morrow afternoon, when the bill will be intact and will make one of the most thoroughly pleasing shows of the season, notwithstanding the fact that it is comparatively cheap as shows run now-a-days, costing considerably less than $3,000. At night Howard and Howard were changed with Williams. They went much better, in fact were a tremendous hit, while Williams went as strong, if not stronger than any single act I have ever seen work in this house. He is certainly a gem.
