Report on the Scenic show week of Dec 9th, 1918. Hazel Moran. "Lariat Spinner." Good act of the kind, went good. Bob O'Connor & Co. "In Billy Taylor, Fixer." Special drop. A good bright snappy act, plenty of good comedy. Saw the act twice went good both times. Storey & Clark, "Musical & Singing." A fine act, would go good in the Keith House. James (Fat) Thompson, "Camouflage." Monday afternoon it went big. I understand from some of the employees that the patrons did not like the show. I cannot see how they could call the bill poor because all four acts could go on the bill in the Providence house and make good. Thursday The Garcinetti Bros. "Hat Throwers and Acrobats." They use a bounding table and a bounceing ball. A corking good act, a dog used in the act adds quite a bit of comedy to the number, act went good. Harmon & O'Connor. "Jolly Singing Comediennes". This act went good. Was hit of the show this afternoon. Marker and Boyce. "Character Comedians." Characters. Civil War Veteran & Present War. Resort to patriotic stuff to pull the act over Went fairly good. Ryan & Riggs. "Piano & Singing" Special drop This act took the place of "Ward DeWolf & Dawson Sisters" good act but to quiet for this house. barely got over this afternoon. Edge was taken off the act by the "harmon & O'Connor" act. They ought not be on the same bill. Reddy
