181 KEITH'S THEATRE, PROVIDENCE, R. I. WEEK OF NOVEMBER 26, 1906. REPORT ON NORAH KELLY, PROVIDENCE, R. I. This young girl has a nice personality, sings some Irish comic songs in a naive manner, has a pleasant voice and a good enunciation. At the price and three shows she is decidedly worth playing. Could go in the early section in the 2-a-day houses. FURTHER COMMENT ON TOM EDWARDS. He went better last night than he did in the afternoon and improved his act by smoking a sugar during the first part of his act, all through, which he didn't do at the afternoon performance. His "Patter" however with the "Dummy" is not funny and that part of the act drags somewhat, but when he gets to the "baby" work he certainly made a tremendous hit. 25 min. on the night show, but I believe the act is better by being a little it shorter and omitting some of the jokes in the early part of his act. Chas. Lovenberg, Manager.
