BIJOU THEATRE? Woonsocket, R. I., Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, April 2, 3 and 4.
INEZ LAWSON--- In a Musical Offering of songs and trumpet playing; very neat appearing; 8 min. in one. Went fair.
ARNOLD & TAYLOR--- In "Dispossessed"-- man and woman--comedy act with singing and piano playing; the wind-up of this act went great as there was a short talk on patrotism; special drop; 14 min.
"MILADY'S GOWN"--- Two men and two women; special set representing a modiste shop; the feature of the act is the draping of several gowns by one of the men; they sing several songs; very poor singers. 15 min. full stage; went only fair.

P. S.--Hope we will have a better show next week than we have been having lately--as in raising our prices it all depends now on the show we give the people to hold them.
