Boston show week November 22, 1909.
R. G. Larsen
(Monday afternoon show)
Overture. On at 1:45, 7 minutes.
Marcel & Boris. On at 1:52, 9 minutes full stage. This new European act proved a pleasant surprise and seemed almost too good for an opener. The boy does mandolin playing, trick violin playing, with the man at the piano, all of which is good, then they go to hand balancing and acrobatic work, the entire act having speed and novelty that would win applause far down on a bill.


Albert Chevalier. On at 3:43, 30 minutes in 1. Chevalier was a hit here this afternoon and will unquestionably draw business. This was shown by the number that came in after three o'clock and the advance applause. He did "The Fallen Star," "I've got 'er 'at," "The Work 'Ouse Man," "Wot fur do ee lov oi?" and "My Old Dutch." Each one got a big hand and although it was late in the afternoon for this house he finished big.
Cooper & Robinson. On at 4:13, 14 minutes in 1. These boys picked up the show after Chevalier in good shape and started the laughter right away for a good finish.
Gruber's Animals. On at 4:27, 11 minutes in full stage. This made an ideal closing act for the holiday bill.
Kinetograph. On at 4:38, 9 minutes of first rate comedy picture, "His Wife's Birthday."
Cuts: Word "Damn" in models of Jardin de Paris.
A. O. Duncan, "I'm too much of a gentleman to look under the table."
Comment. This show proved one of the fastest and most satisfactory we have played in a long time. It started big and kept up the gait to the finish. The acts in the beginning of the bill proved remarkably strong and under conditions that are not always favorable at this house. Fred DUprez, Miss Nichols and Marcel & Boris made positive hits and any one of them might have gone down the bill had that been possible.
