BOSTON SHOW WEEK DECEMBER 26, '10.    R. G. Larsen.
(Monday afternoon)
JOSIE O'MEERS. 6 minutes f.s. This girl is very attractive and did a very clever high wire act that made a good opener this afternoon.
JENNINGS & RENFREW. 10 minutes in one. For a singing and talking act they had a hard spot this afternoon, as the show started early, but they got away with it in great shape with the holiday audience.
THE KRATONS. 12 minutes f.s. This is a first-rate hoop rolling act and was particularly suitable for the holiday audience. To-day it got a good hand.
HARRY BREEN. [18?] minutes in one. Doing the same line of stuff and going as big as he ever did.
DE HAVEN SEXTETTE. 28 minutes f.s. close in one. One of the best girl acts we have played, neatly dressed, and lively. Went in good shape.
UNA CLAYTON. 28 minutes f.s. Playing "His Local Color." Ordinarily this would have been pretty far down for this act, but with the holiday audience it filled in in good shape this afternoon.
MULLEN & CORELLI. 12 minutes in one. Doing the same act and going very big.
BILLY B. VAN. 31 minutes f.s. close in one. Playing "Props." Making a big hit with the holiday audience.
WORMWOOD'S MONKEYS. 19 minutes f.s. Another good holiday feature that held the children.
(The afternoon show closed with a Christmas tree and this afternoon distributed gifts to about 500 youngsters.)
COMMENT. A very good show for holiday audience.
CUTS. MULLEN & CORELLI. - cut mention "display number seven" on the chair.
BILLY B. VAN - modify handshake. Omit reference to "Princess Rajah taking everything off." Change line about "Herman hocked his fiddle." Omit reference to management. Omit Salvation army song about saving a blonde.
