BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I. [Rhode Island]
REPORT OF SHOW MONDAY APRIL 25, 1915.

ALEX PORTER: Scotch comedian, 10 minutes (I) 
Fair act, one of two of his characterizations produce a few laughs, and altogether working hard at all times, he fails to around anything like enthusiasm.

EDDIE O'NEIL & RILEY TWINS: Singing, talking and dancing skit, 14 minutes (I) 2 Ladies. I Man.
Rather weak in the songs, but the dancing, especially by the man, is creditable. The comedy is fair. Like the first act they are hard workers, but they too have rather a hard time of it.

BISON CITY FOUR: Comedy singing quartette, 18 minutes (I) Special drop. 4 Men.
Very good act; They sing exceptionally well, and the comedy is a riot of laughter. A huge success at every performance, being recalled most enthusiastically. So long a time has elapsed since we have had a really good quartette, that our following is rapturous over the appearance of this sterling aggregation of vocalists.

BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I. [Rhode Island]
REPORT OF SHOW THURSDAY APRIL 29, 1915.

LASERE & LASERE: Aerialists, 10 minutes full stage. Lady and Man.
Good act, both performing with ease, grace and agility some difficult and original maneuvers on the trapeze. Man does some remarkable feats of contortion.

ERNEST DUPILLE: Singing comedian, 12 minutes (I)
Fair act, his talk being decidedly weak in the comedy elements. What recognition he does receive may be attributed to his songs the comedy of which produces a few scattered laughs during the renditions.

IMHOF, CONN & COREENE: Surgeon Louder U. S. A. 26 minutes full stage, special set. I Lady. 2 Men.
An uproarious comedy offering which occasions one long continuous scream of laughter from beginning to end. The character of 'Casey' as portrayed by Imhof is a true exemplification of Celtic wit and humour, and he is ably supported by the two remaining members. It proved the biggest laughing success that has ever played here.
