REPORT on BOSTON SHOW for WEEK of DECEMBER 28th - 1914.
(R. G. Larsen.)
PATHE WEEKLY  15 minutes in one. Picture Sheet. A very poor series of pictures, mostly Belgian scenes.
MARLO and DUFFY  5 minutes f.s. Garden. Two men in a first-class comedy bar act. Good, fast opener.
THOSE FOUR ENTERTAINERS  14 minutes in one. Street. This wellknown quartette woke things up in great shape. Scored a very big hit. Could go down on the bill.
GREAT HOWARD  21 minutes f.s. Going as well as on previous visits.
JULIET? 23 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. this girl is very clever. Did five numbers, and the audience wanted more.
LEW DOCKSTADER  25 minutes in one. Street. Dockstader's make-up as "Teddy" is immense. He has grasped the mannerisms and speech of the great lion slayer in a truly wonderful manner. His monologue got many laughs, but is a trifle too long drawn out.
H. BART McHUGH'S "THE LAWN PARTY" 29 minutes f.s. Special Set. A troupe of kids doing the old first part of Mortimer M. Theise's "Wine, Woman and Song" show. The hit of the act is William J. Dooley's imitation of Leon Errol's drunken tango dance from the Follies. A good lively act, with plenty of ginger. Went first-rate.
HENRY E. DIXEY  16 minutes in two. Palace. Scored his usual hit. The same versatile and artistic entertainer that he always was.
DANE CLAUDIUS and LILLIAN SCARLETT  16 minutes in one. Special Drop. These people have a number of new old-time songs in their act, and have dressed it up with a special drop and new costumes. Held this hard spot with credit. Scored the applause hit of the show.
LUPITA PEREA  6 minutes f.s. Garden. An extremely pretty little Spanish girl in stunts on the flying trapeze. Act consists principally of double twists and giant swings in midair, catching herself by the heels. A thriller that made a great closing feature to a strong show.
