PROVIDENCE. R. I.  E. F. ALBEE  SEPT. 13th, 1920
We have an excellent bill this week. One that in its entirety is most satisfactory. We started off the season to big business with indications of its continuation.
CHAS. LOVENBERG.
THE CHANDON TRIO: One man and two women in an unusual act on the flying rings. Made quite a hit in the opening position. 8 min. full stage.
ED. E. FORD: In an act which is a combination of facial grimaces and recitations. Only fairly good and so accepted by the audience. 13 min. in one.
ETHEL CLIFTON & COMPANY: Company consisting of one very good woman and a man who was only on for a moment. A very good sketch with seriousness and comedy combined. Well played. 21 min. full stage.
LANE & MORAN: Two men, one a most eccentric comedian of the nut variety. The act scored very big. 20 min. in one.
HERSCHEL HENLERE: Eccentric pianist assisted by a young lady who does very little, except a short number upon the saxaphone. Act scored very strongly. 32 min. in one. I would say the act is too long.
THE LITTLE COTTAGE: One of the best acts of its kind we have ever played. It is well put on, both as to scenery and costumes. The people are clever and it has none of the atmosphere of burlesque which many of these tabloids we play contain. 35 min. full stage.
TONEY & NORMAN: These people came in and cleaned up and their clean-up applies to the work which they did, much to my surprise only one small cut had to be made and that not at all serious. 22 min. in one.
CORRADINI'S ANIMALS: Pony, dogs and monkey. Pretty little turn that made a very good closing to a most satisfactory bill. 8 min. full stage.
