BOSTON SHOW WEEK JUNE 20, '10. 
R.G. Larsen. 
)Monday Night(
THE PELOTS. 30 minutes f.s. Close in one. This is a fairly good opening act with a little of everything in the way of juggling, and comedy of a mild sort. Close in one fills the time acceptably.
GEORGE AUGER AND CO. IN "JACK, THE GIANT KILLER." 17 minutes f.s. Auger's act is the same as when last played in Boston, except he carries a special set which does not help the comedy. In fact, his afternoon and to-night it did not get the laughs as formerly. 
RALPH SMALLEY. Cellist. 10 minutes in one. Smalley is a local man. Member of the Boston Symphony orchestra. Of course he got a good hand on his appearance. Aside from that he more than made good. 
MADAM CHUNG IN LOIE FULLER'S "DRAGON'S OF WRATH." 40 minutes f.s. This is the third week of this engagement. That the little Chinese actress has become a popular favorite is shown by the receptions she receives. Act ran much the same with a new feature introduced called "Eve, or The First Woman." A snake charmer with a twelve foot reptile on which innumerable colors are worked during the time she is on the stage. 
RAY COX. 26 minutes in one. Mis Cox did lots of time but did not go as well as she has before at this house. Probably due to the fact that Mary Norman was here a few weeks ago. It is too bad that a woman who has made the hit Miss Cox has made, should copy as boldly as she is doing on this trip. Especially the automobile girl, which Miss Norman got so much more out of. In fact, there is no comparison between the tow impersonations. It would pay Miss Cox to get something new or stick to her old act. 
LILLIAN LAWRENCE. 20 minutes f.s. Comedy sketch, "A Reno Divorce." Miss Lawrence just closed with Francis Wilson's company but has long been a favorite in stock in this city. I am free to confess that it is this fact that gets her by on the present occasion. The farce is long drawn out and I should hate to have it take its chances with others of a similar character.
HOWARD AND HOWARD. 16 minutes in one. As big a hit as ever.
THREE RENARDS. 10 minutes f.s. Played this act a number of times and it is doing as well as ever.
