PROVIDENCE. R. I.    B. F. KEITH'S    MARCH 31st,    9
I don't remember when I ever saw a better playing vaudeville bill than the one we have this week. Every act from the first to the last made an unqualified hit and some of them particularly big. It would only be necessary for me to give for the various acts their time and scenic requirements, the above covering the rest.
CHAS. LOVENBERG.
KENNEDY & NESLON:
Two men, acrobatic comedy. 5 min. in one.
SEABURY & SHAW:
Youthful couple, young fellow and girl in modern dancing with a very elaborate production, also using pianist on stage. 16 min. full stage.
BEN BERNIE:
Monologist with a little violin playing. 13 min in one.
TOTO:
Clown contortionist. 10 min. open in 2 1/2, short close in one.
CARTMELL & HARRIS:
Singing and dancing skit with special scenery. 14 min, open full stage, close in one.
ALLAN BROOKS & CO:
Serie ---Comic-Dramatic sketch. "Dollars & Sense" Special curtain and unusual setting. 30 min. full stage. The close in one of the preceding act does not give sufficient time to make the side. A short wait was necessary.
NELSON & CHAIN:
Two men talking and singing comedy act. 20 min. in one.
FINK'S MULES:
Ponies, dogs and monkeys. Exceedingly lively comedy animal act. Great closing to a great show 10 min. full stage.
MOTION PICTURES:  O. K.
