PROVIDENCE, R. I.    B. F. KEITH'S    NOVEMBER 25th,    8
We have a very good show this week, one that is giving excellent satisfaction generally.
CHAS. LOVENBERG.

JOSIE O'MEERS:
Wire act with a little singing introduced, makes a nice opener. 7 min. full stage.
THE BANDYS:
Dancing act with imitations of various characters in dancing. Man and woman, trifle old fashioned, but got by nicely. They have a little boy in the act who could be used to advantage where the law permits. 12 min. in one.
BRUCE-DUFFETT & CO:
A very clever surprise serial comedy sketch called, "Through The Key Hole". 13 min. short opening in one, close full stage.
MURIEL WINDOW:
Some nice songs and attractive costumes, made quite a hit. 17 min. in one.
SLIDING BILLY WATSON:
In a burlesque act called "Back Of The Front". This act did not go over as well as I hoped for, still it got quite a few laughs. 13 min. about half in one and the remainder full stage.
MEHLINGER & MEYER:
Singing and a piano playing. Did very well. 18 min in one
STEPHENS & HOLLISTER:
From the standpoint of pure merit, this is probably the best act on the bill. It is practically a talking act, man and woman with a little singing and dancing, nicely mounted with special scenery and excellent played. 20 min. about three min in one, full stage and five minutes close in one.
TRIXIE FRIGANZA:
Miss Friganza's act is going better than any she ever gave us, making a most pronounced hit. 23 min in one.
EVEREST'S MONKEYS:
Well known act that closes the show in good style. 12 min. full stage.
MOTION PICTURES:  O. K.
CUTS:
BILLY WATSON: "DAMN" "What the devil" and reference to local newspaper.
TRIXIE FRIGANZA: "Pinched me on the Pyramids."
