Report of PROVIDENCE SHOW, Week of November 21, 1910.
Chas. Lovenberg, Manager.
The show played very well indeed. Everything made good and the bill seems ideal for a holiday week.
ROBERT DE MONT TRIO
Well-known acrobatic comedy act. Some splendid tumbling is introduced. The act is very lively and fast. 7 Min. F. S.
KARL
One-string violinist. this man's work is remarkable considering the limitations of the instrument, and he gave excellent satisfaction. 13 Min. in One.
EARL SIMMONS & CO.
In a comedy sketch, "MRS. ROOTER'S BALL GAME." Mr. Simmons was formerly leading man for our Pawtucket Stock Company and no doubt has a little local value. The sketch, while quite funny in spots, is not what it should be to get the salary he probably will want. With a little re-writing I think he has got one of the funniest sketches I have seen in many a day, but I don't think it is quite in shape to book generally as yet. 20 Min. F. S.
DOOLEY & SAYLES
Same success as always. 25 Min.
GABRIEL & CO.
Went very well indeed but I would not want the act other than a holiday week as I don't believe that ordinarily the old sketch has got any drawing value. 24 Min. F. S.
MAGGIE CLINE
First appearance in a dozen years and she made a most unqualified hit. 25 Min. in One with plenty of applause at the finish.
HEDGES BROS. & JACOBSON
These boys did very well, in fact made a hit, but for this house at least, Edwards, Van & Tierney are much more desirable. I Think these fellows get too much money. 15 Min. Open in Two, close in One.
RAYNO'S DOGS
Seem to have improved since their last appearance. Act a big laughing hit. 11 Min. F. S.
MOTION PICTURES  O. K.
