BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW MONDAY AUGUST 31, 1914.
ALMA SIRE & COMPANY: Juggling and shadowgraph, 15 min. F.S. Lady. Man. Some new and novel feats of jugglery by the man, coupled with some exceptionally clever work in shadowgraphy by the lady constitutes an act which is particularly good and went well with the audience.
CURRY & HARRIS: Dancing act, 10 minutes (1) 2 Men. Good dancing act disclosing many novel and difficult steps the execution of which is very clever and makes a most favorable impression on the audience.
DARRELL & CONWAY: "Behind the Scenes", 18 min. F.S. Lady & Man. Good act affording much hilarity by the breezy comedy, and bright repartee. Vocal renditions well done, and the costuming worthy of special mention. Met with big success from the audience.

[W. E. Parmenter?] Manager.


BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW THURSDAY SEPT. 3, 1914.
KUBANOFF: VIOLINIST; 12 minutes (1) Good choice of selections very capably done, while his little comedy by-play gets lot of laughs making it all in all a good act.
FORD & GIRLIE: 12 minutes (1) man and dog. Song and dance by the man well received, while the dog displays great cleverness in some tricks a trifle old, and a few others decidedly new and difficult.
LEIGH DeLACY & CO: Sketch, 18 minutes F.S. 3 people. They make the most possible out of a sketch which seems to be lacking in opportunities for the talents which we know these people to possess. Just one dramatic situation at the close gives it a dash of life and vigor. On the whole rather weak.

[W. E. Parmenter?] Manager.
