Report on show, Keith's Theatre, Providence, R. I, Week of November 20, 1905. (Charles Lovenberg.)

The bill this week is most satisfactory; well diversified with plenty of good comedy and music which are well liked in this town.

La Bell.  Tramp juggler (comedy). This is a very good little opening act, in fact could stand a little better place on the bill. 12 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Bertinii & Brockway.  Two rather good looking young girls who make a neat appearance and in a small way do some quite clever work in the way of dancing and contortion with a little singing added. Thoroughly all right from a three a day standpoint. 11 min. in 1, 3 shows.

Lambert & Pierce.  Care very little for this act although it can't be called decidedly bad. The criticism given in other houses will apply here. 12 min. in 1, 3 shows.

Brazil & Brazil.  Man and woman made up as country boy and girl who start off with a little comedy that is merely acceptable and finish with some pretty good tumbling. Good three a day act. 11 min. full stage, 3 shows.


The Meers.  about three min, 2 shows.

Sydney Bean & Co.  In "Christmas on the Island." Same act as presented before and I should say, slightly improved. Much appreciated by todays audience. 22 min. in 1-1/2, 2 shows.

Bert Coote & Co.  In "A Lamb on Wall Street". One of the best sketches we play. 24 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Lew Sully.  With the show 18 min. late this man held down this hard spot in first class shape. 16 min. in 1, 2 shows.

Belle Hathaway.  With a very good troupe of Monkeys. 12 min. full stage, 2 shows.

Motion Pictures.  Little Train Robbery. Very good.
War of Children. Very good.
