Report on the Scenic show May 9th
Report on the Scenic show May 9th. 1921
Harry Price. Cartoonist. Only a fair small time act. 12 min in 1.
Mullen & O'Connell. Singing & Dancing. This act with a few minor changes can be made into a very good small time act. Capt Mullen the Seventy year old Captain of the East Providence Fire Dept, can dance all around most of the youner dancers in Vaudville, and his partner has a better voice than most of the singers that appear in this house. Could be made a good act. 18 min in 1
Richard Keane & Co. In Scenes from the Play. A high class act, all the scenes were very well done, to my surprise the act went very good, I was afraid it would go over the heads of the audience. 15 min in special setting in 3.
Harry & Kitty Kelly. In a Taxilogue. A fairly good singing & talking act that went fairly good. 13 min special drop in 1.
Transfield Sisters. Singing & Musical. A good small time act, a nice drop in 1, and act well dressed. 11 min in 1.
A good show.

REPORT OF BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I., Thursday, Friday and SAturday, May 5, 6 and 7.
ALLERO--- The Up-side Down Man. Does all his work on his hands--feet in the air. Special drop. 6 min. full. Went light.
JENNINGS & DORMAN--- Man and woman. In their vaudeville offering "A Batch of Smiles"--A talking, singing and a little dancing act. This act received a few laughs through act but a light hand at finish. Carry a special drop representing golf links. 14 min.
THE MELODY GARDEN--- Five Women. This act is spectacularly staged. Elaborately costumed, and made a fine appearance. They play the latest and most popular selections--all on wind instruments. This act received a few hands through act, and a big hand at finish. 14 min.
