REPORT OF SHOW OF SHOW MONDAY MARCH 1, 1915.
BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
LOCKETT & WALDRON: Eccentric dancing, 10 minutes (1) 2 Men. Exceptionally good, in fact the best dancing act seen here in an extremely long time. Some of their steps are truly marvelous and the skill they display is wonderful. Plenty of laughs too by their comedy interpolations.
LITTLE MARION WEEKS: Singing comedienne, 10 minutes (1) Good act, Voice rather weak, but of fairly good quality. Good program of songs: Attractive in appearance.
THE GREAT LEON: Illusionist, 18 minutes, full stage, special set. Best illusion act ever seen here. He is truly a master of his art, and his many amazing experiments are performed in a highly dexterous and skillful manner, that fills all beholders with amazement and makes them recall again the wonderful hours they spent with The Arabian Nights, and all the enchantments contained there-in.


BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW THURSDAY MARCH 4, 1915.
ADOLPHO: Accordionist, 15 minutes (1) Good act, offering good program of selections in a very pleasing manner.
MASON & MURRAY: Comedy talking, singing and dancing, 15 minutes (1) Lady and Man. Just fair; The comedy produces a small amount of laughter, but the singing does not cause much enthusiasm.
KOWANA BROTHERS: Japanese acrobats and jugglers, 13 minutes full stage. 3 Men. Not so good as some jap acts played here. Offer the usual routine of work seen in like acts; Their juggling is easily their best bit.

[W. E. Parmenter?] Manager.
