BOSTON SHOW WEEK OCTOBER 17, '10.    R. G. Larsen.
(Monday night)
GOLEMAN'S DOGS. 15 minutes f.s. this is a great animal act. Almost too good to open a show, and not suitable for closing. But to-night it started things off in good shape.
FIELD BROTHERS. 9 minutes in one. This is very good value for this spot. The boys work in blackface, old minstrel style, and dance well.
NELSON AND OTTO. 19 minutes in one and one-half. Doing pretty much the same act as when last here, except the girls do more character work. going very well.
AMOROS SISTERS. 14 minutes f.s. This act was rather badly placed this afternoon. But in this spot to-night made a tremendous hit, especially at the finish, and practically stopped the show.
DONALD AND CARSON. 25 minutes in two, five of it closing in one. This act is mighty good value. Has the element of novelty, is thoroughly Scotch, and made quite a hit here.
JANE COURTHOPE AND COMPANY IN "LUCKY JIM." 30 minutes f.s. If this piece could be cut about ten minutes, and Jane Courthope would get away from her 10-20-30 style of emotional acting, it might be a good vaudeville feature. But as it is now, notwithstanding the beautiful scenery, which is as fine as anything that we have had, the boy alone saves it from being guyed.
GENE GREENE. 15 minutes in one. Greene was not equal to the task of following Murphy and Nichols this afternoon, but to-night he went better. Here is a case of a man who would be a tremendous hit working in blackface, but who insists in working in evening dress. Also a case of piano in one. If anybody is willing to start a boycott on pianos in one, here's one who will sign quick. We have two of them this week.
MURPHY AND NICHOLS. 27 minutes f.s. "The School of Acting." This evening, closing the show, this well known travesty made as big a hit as ever. Held the audience and made them laugh every minute.
