BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R.I., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, February 21, 22 and 23.
KERSKIND--- The Australian Comedian and Caricaturist in "Cartoons a La Carte"--Has a very bright and humorous way in doing his cartoons, especially when he caricatures people in the audience--take it good naturedly. Received plenty of laughs and good hand at finish. 12 min. palace.
CUTTY & NELSON--- Man and woman. In Songs and Music. Play piano, xylophone, cornet, also singing; this act received a good hand at the finish. 10 min in one.
WALKER & WEST--- In a singing, talking and dancing act, entitled "After the Dance"--Man and woman. This act went very poor. Nothing to it. Did not receive a single hand during or even at the finish. 10 min. in one.
PRINCESS WAT LETKA--- Assisted by a man who goes thro the audience and gets the questions from the people--not on paper--and asks what does this lady or gentleman want to know. She calls them by name and answers their questions correctly, She works the same as Leena LaMar. I felt rather afraid of this act when I heard it was coming here, as I think, or thought that Clayton had killed that line of business--but I think she will go better and do some business as the week grows. She went good here to-day. 15 min. full.
