BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW MONDAY JUNE 14, 1915.
MONTROSE & SYDELL: SINGING, DANCING & CYCLING, LADY & MAN. Open (1) CLOSE FULL STAGE.
Good novelty act; Sing fairly well, execute an admirable acrobatic dance, and finish with a clever exhibition of bicycle riding.
STANLEY & LAMBERT: VOCAL OFFERING, LADY & MAN; (1)
Good act, possessing excellent voices which are heard in a program of selections decidedly new and original, making one of the best song acts heard here for some time past.
JOHN P. WADE & CO: DRAMATIC SKETCH, LADY & TWO MEN. FULL STAGE.
Fair act, but far from feature calibre. This town is indifferent to sketches even when they are good, but when of the status of this one, they simply refuse to be interested, and fail to enthuse to any extent.


BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW THURSDAY JUNE 17, 1915.
HENRY RUDOLPH: VOCAL OFFERING, 8 MINUTES (1)
Fair act, He has a pleasing voice, and his selections are sufficiently new as to constitute an acceptable offering.
MILLER & LYLE: COLORED COMEDY TALKING AND DANCING, 10 MINUTES (1) 2 MEN.
Fair act, the talk is weak in the comedy line, and were it not for a novel dancing finish, the act would have little to recommend it.
PRINCE CHARLES: CHIMPANZEE, 13 MINUTES FULL STAGE.
Good act; Does some interesting and amuzing tricks, and the bicycle riding is exceptionally clever, in fact the best ever seen in acts of this kind.
