REPORT on BOSTON SHOW for WEEK of MARCH 15th - 1915.
(R. G. Larsen.)
TUSCANO BROTHERS  9 minutes f.s. Special Drop. Battle axe jugglers. Although we have played this act a number of times, it got over in good shape this week.
TED LORRAINE and HATTIE BURKS  16 minutes. Open Olio Drop in one. Close Palace in two. A neat singing and dancing act that went first-rate in this spot.
MRS. GENE HUGHES and CO  25 minutes f.s. C.D.F. "Lady Gossip." A good comedy sketch of the kind. Gets a number of laughs, but would not want to play it very much further down.
BESSIE WYNN  22 minutes. Open in one. O.P. Drapery. Go to Garden in f.s. Close O.P. Drapery in one. Miss Wynn is doing very much better than on her previous visits here. She opened only fair Monday afternoon, but after cutting about five minutes off the end of her act, she was a hit in the evening.
McDEVITT, KELLY and LUCY  18 minutes f.s. C.D.F. 4 minutes close in one. Olio Drop. This act is repeating in good shape.
ORVILLE HARROLD  16 minutes in one. Green plush drapery. For a man who is suffering from sore throat, Orville Harrold is doing remarkably well this week.
BOB MATTHEWS, AL SHAYNE and CO  24 minutes. Open in one, go to F.S., close in one. Special scenes. this is a good comedy act and is going over in great shape.
WALTER C. KELLY  23 minutes in one. Olio Drop. Kelly was rather a surprise to us this trip for on his last appearance here he did not make much of an impression. This week he is a positive hit with many new stories.
THE LA GROHS  10 minutes f.s. C.D.F. This is a remarkable act. Is creating some talk, and would be a good feature if we could feature it in the middle of the bill.
COMMENT: All in all, this is a rattling good comedy show, and with the crowd in town for the Auto Show, we ought to do big business this week.
