BOSTON     BOSTON    April 7,    9
Kinograms:- Interesting.
Sutter & Dell:- 8 min. f.s.
A fast bicycle act with a little comedy, opened the show well.
Cervo:- 13 min. in 1.
Cervo, the piano accordeonist, in a pleasing program well played, went over very good.
Cartmell & Harris:-16 min. 3 Spec.
This well known dancing act held this spot nicely.
Mack & Vincent:- 19 min. in 1.
Man and woman in a comedy singing and piano offering went over very well.
"The Memory Book":- 20 min. f.s. Spec.
This is about as tame an act as we have played this season. While they got a fair hand at the finish the audience was restless and indifferent during the act.
Nelson & Chain:-22 min. in 1.
These boys have a great routine of comedy talk and singing with burlesque dancing at the finish which put them over very big.
Louise Dresser & Jack Gardner:-29 min. f.s. Spec.
This well known pair got a nice reception and seemed to please throughout. Closed to a good hand.
Walter C. Kelly:-20 min. in 1.
Just as big as ever.
Apollo Trio:-8 min. f.s. Spec.
Novel posing and hand balancing act closed the show fairly well.
CUTS: Mack & Vincent: Please eliminate the line "she wants to leave the room" referring to lady in audience; also "stripes" story.
Nelson & Chain: Please wear shoes in your burlesque dance, and eliminate the word "damn"
