REPORT on SHOW at KEITH'S PROVIDENCE THEATRE week of MARCH 12, 1917.
The show this week didn't seem to go very well with Monday's audiences and I am inclined to believe it was the audiences rather than the show, although a couple of the acts got over first rate--however, not as big as they should and all of them ought to have done better.

Lillian's Dogs
Very good act for the children because of some comedy novelties introduced. 7 Minutes Full Stage.
Moore & Haager
Well known man and woman in a comedy singing act. 16 Minutes In One.
Flavilla.
Girl Accordeonist. Plays very well but over-does the "acting". 10 Minutes In One.
McCarty & Faye
Splendid little comedy sketch with singing and dancing. Surprisingly well played and the dancing and singing numbers well executed. 24 Minutes in One.
Allen & Howard
Very good two man talking act with the assistance of an attractive young woman. A good deal on the lines of the old Howard & North act. 17 Minutes in One.
Ruth St. Denis
Very beautiful act which I think will draw us some business. 25 Minutes Full Stage.
Bufford & Chain
Two young chaps with a bright line of material. 18 Minutes in One.
Jordan Girls
Little singing and dancing and wire walking. Nice act.
CUTS
McCarty & Faye
"What the hell"--"look at the piano player".
Allen & Howard
Cut "what the hell" and all suggestions of same.
Bufford & Chain
Cut the line in the song "to hell with my wife" and the joke "Don't misjudge".
