BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW MONDAY MAY 17, 1915.
LA VIVA: Equilibrist and contortionist, 8 minutes full stage. Fairly good act, performing the usual routine of feats in rather a graceful and clever manner.
STANLEY & LEBARCK: Singing, dancing and talking skit, 13 min. (1) Lady and Man. Good act, using a good line of talk mostly new and laughable. Quite clever in dance. The Charlie Chaplin impersonation done by the man is wonderfully realist and produced a riot of laughter.
DUNBAR'S ROYAL DRAGOONS: Vocal and instrumental, 14 minutes (3) Plush drop. 8 Men. Good act, being very clever as instrumentalists, while their vocal selections were well received. Pretty costuming, and effective scenery add much to the act, which made a most emphatic hit at all performances.

[W. E. Parmenter?] Manager
