Report on Providence show week of February 22, 1915. Charles Lovenberg, Mgr. The bill this week plays very well indeed and while a lot of the fast comedy got by the holiday crowd, there is every indication that the show is going to be liked by the regular patrons. JOE LA FLEUR Man with two dogs who does some acrobatics and somersaults from a high ladder. The dogs also do some acrobatic work and comedy. A good opening act. 9 minutes F. S. MILLER & LYLES This act used to be very good for this house but on their last appearance here as well as this they only got a few laughs and some applause on their boxing dance. The rest of the act went pretty flat. 9 minutes in one. BEAUMONT & ARNOLD Man and woman in a skit playing upon doctors' technicalities from which they get considerable fun and finish with some singing and dancing, the woman being an especially good dancer of the high kicking type. 17 minutes open F. S. about five minutes in one. BURTON HOLMES' TRAVELETTE SOUTH AMERICA About as interesting a feature as we have had in many a day. The man who does the talking has a particularly fine enunciation, the text is well put together, and the pictures are very good. The sort of thing that is bound to interest at this particular time when all eyes are turned to South America. 27 minutes with the audience interested every moment and a good hand at the finish. All in one. MRS. GENE HUGHES & CO. In her new sketch "Lady Gossip". A splendid vehicle, well played and well dressed. 26 minutes F. S. THE VOLUNTEERS Four men in a unique singing act that has been described from several other houses. Plenty of good comedy and singing and the biggest applause winner of the show. 17 minutes in one. IRENE FRANKLIN Miss Franklin went exceedingly well. Sang seven or eight songs, all of which were appreciated and got plenty of laughs and applause. While a good deal of her stuff was probably not understood by out of town visitors, she nevertheless made a hit and I look for a bigger one the remainder of the week. 33 minutes F. S. LYNCH & ZELLER These two club juggling experts present their act in a new setting, special scenery, the front of a French cafe, in evening dress and top hats with quite a little talk injected into the act and it seems to me that it might be elaborated to get more time, which is the principal objection to it at present. 7 minutes in one.
