BOSTON SHOW - WEEK - APRIL - 10 - 1911. R. G. Larsen. (Monday night.) DIXON & DIXON. 14 minutes f.s. this is a mighty good act and opened the show in great shape to-day. Music and comedy got over in first rate shape. CONLEY SISTERS. 12 minutes in one. A very good sister act with plenty of changes that went big at both shows and had a good finish. LOUIS SIMON & GRACE GARDNER IN "THE NEW COACHMAN." 28 minutes f.s. While simon got laughs at both performances here to-day, the act did not begin to go like it used to in this house. I think this is largely due to the company. It does not come up to the standard of his old support. OSCAR LORAINE. 15 minutes in two. Doing pretty much the same stuff as when last here, and going as big as ever. STICKNEY'S CIRCUS. 10 minutes f.s. I moved this down on the bill to-night and it made thoroughly good in this spot. BARRY & WOLFORD. 14 minutes in one. A good line of talk and parodies that went very well. "THE DARLING OF PARIS." 20 minutes f.s. special set. This is one of the most beautiful acts we have played, and was very well received by the audiences, but the costumes sadly need looking after. LOU ANGER. 14 minutes in one. Anger had rather a hard spot here, but he got away with it in great shape at both performances. KAUFMANN TROUPE. 12 minutes f.s. A great closing act, one of the girls doing stunts that got tremendous applause. CUTS. Oscar Oraine - but body motions and modify work with eyes. Barry & Wolford - story about "stockings come high;" Yum Yum tree and bumble bee verse; "married once in Providence and once in earnest;" "husband out front door and other fellow in back;" "still building schools;" "wife always watching;" and story about "Venus coming up with the tide." Simon & Gardner - cut "grandmother has nothing on her." B.F. Keith's Hippodrome. April 10th 1911 Cleveland, Ohio. H. A. Daniels. SIDNEY BAXTER F.S. Palace. time 10. Assisted by a woman who does little. Baxter performs entirely upon a slack wire. He does a lot of good, novelty juggling, balancing etc. Fine opener. THE STROLLING PLAYERS. 2 men. Time 14 in 1. As Italian street musicians these men give a lively and altogether acceptable offering. One of an unusually good violinist. JOHN STANLEY & RUBY NORTON. In 1. Time 11. This is a fair song number. A slight novelty is offered by Stanley making his "entrance" from the audience in the character of a water boy. VAN HOVEN. IN 1. Time 15. A travesty magician who talks like a phonograph on a runaway. He uses two clever young boys as assistants. Van Hoven kept the audience thoroughly amused. GERALD GRIFFIN & CO. Time 21 C.D.F. 2 women, 2 men. "Other People's Money." Funny at times; rather slow at other times. Griffin is good. His support is pretty poor. JOHNNY AND EMMA RAY & CO. Time 24. C.D.F. "Casey, The Fireman." 2 women, 3 men. "The Rays" are highly popular here and received a big advance hand. Their sketch is thoroughly laughable and received applause throughout. There is plenty of snap and action and at times the audience was thoroughly convulsed. EDDIE LEONARD. Assisted by Mabel Russell. Time 21. Mr Leonard was a terrific hit. The audience worked him until he was apparently tired out. He sang several numbers that he has popularized and gave a corking sand dance. INTERNATIONAL POLO TEAMS. 2 men. Time 12. F.S. Woods. 2 men compose a team. They play a a regulation polo game without Mallets, employing the front and back wheels of the bicycles they ride to drive the ball in skilful fashion. The effect is altogether exciting and proved a great novelty. Holds the audience seated in good shape.
