PROVIDENCE. R. I.    B. F. KEITH'S    DEC. 23rd,    8
We have a very good playing bill this week which is giving satisfaction generally, some of the acts meeting with unusual success. All of them satisfying.
CHAS. LOVENBERG.
ALBERT DONNELLY:
Shadowgraphist. He does some very clever work of the routine style. 6 min. full stage.
MILLER & CAPMAN:
Two men dancing act with a little comedy indispersed with one of the men who is quite clever and the other is passable. A fair No. 2 act. 13 min. in one.
NEVINS & GORDON:
Man and woman in a very pretty little act called "A Holland Hallowe'en. The people are clever and the act is well presented. 15 min. full stage.
SUSAN TOMPKINS:
Violinist. No violinist who has ever appeared on Keith's Stage has ever received any more applause than Miss Tompkins has at all performances this week. 16 min. in one and she could be playing yet.
BYRAN & BRODERICK:
Very pretty dancing act put on with special scenery, This act likewise made a big hit and met with great success. 13 min. full stage. 
KELLER MACK & ANNA EARL:
In a talking and singing act of the kind that Mr. Mack usually is identified with, gets plenty of laughs and they receive a good hand at the finish. 15 min?in one.
WHAT GIRLS CAN DO:
This act goes surprisingly well and I must say that I was very agreeably disappointed in it. I did not expect nearly as good an act, as I got. 30 min full stage.
OLSEN & JOHNSON:
Two men singing, piano playing, violin playing and a little bit of everything else. They were just something short of a riot. 21 min. In one.
OLYMPIA DESVALL:
Horses and dogs, great flash and made a splendid closing up. Very good show. 12 min, full stage.
MOTION PICTURES:  O. K.
