19 min. Truly a wonderful musician, probably the greatest that has been heard in vaudeville. Plays the highest class of selections with no stage mannerisms of other false appeals, scoring on his merit as a musician alone. He is accompanied by a woman at the piano. Each of his numbers was received with strong applause and at the finish he was accorded an ovation.
17 min. Undoubtedly one of the best novelty animal acts ever seen on any stage. Four ponies and four dogs are used, the animals posing as toys at the opening and finishing in a routine of familiar circus stunts. Two men present the act, one straight and one in comedy makeup. The act has a great deal of novelty to it and scored a tremendous applause hit.
12 min. A very pretty playlet oddly constructed along semi-sentimental lines and carrying a pretty story of romance in the suburbs which is nicely handled by the two principals. Was given the strictest attention and rewarded with a liberal hand of applause at the finish.
15 min. With a charge of songs and repeating their dances, these children were a big laughing and applause hit. They are using a third child for a singing number and a Charlie Chaplin bit that was a tremendous hit.
21 minutes f.s. Special drops. Bowers new act requires seven scenes and twelve drops, all painted in the impressionistic manner after the style of this year’s “Follies.” He has added a quartette to the act, and his singing, the dancing of the darky boy, and the new scenery, put over the applause hit of the show.
In “Poughkeepsie.” 20 minutes f.s. C.D.F. It is several years since this team have been seen in Boston. They put the sketch over is good shape, with laughs all through and a good finish.
Musical equilibrists, 12 minutes, C.D.F., two men. Excellent act, their work is a little short of wonderful, accomplishing the finest work in the line ever seen here. And they were well-received, the audience quickly realizing the difficulties attendant upon such an act, so skillfully performed.
Singing skit, 15 minutes (1) Special drop, two men. Passably fair, considerable of their stuff is somewhat suggestive and when they eliminate same as I insist upon their doing the few scattered laughs they received will be absent. Not phenomenal as singers, and the entire affair is not the feature caliber we have been used to.
Comedienne, 12 minutes (1). Weak act, the bulk of her comedy? [sic] being so ancient and time-worn as to be underserving of hardly any mention. The few scattered laughs she obtained evidently came from a few charitably inclined who wished to encourage her, but an act like this should not receive any encouragement from anyone.
Song, dance and comedy, 2 ladies, 3 men, 20 min, spec. set. Comedy received a few laughs, but there is much old business, as to mistaken identity, etc. things done many times before: Dancing by the young man is very clever, and is one of the best bits of the entire turn. A lively and whirl-wind finish gives the act a fair ending.
