Report on PROVIDENCE SHOW, Week of October 7, 1912.
CHAS. LOVENBERG, Manager.

     We have an exceptionally good show this week, one to please all kinds of people and if the weather doesn't continue too warm we will surely do business.

MARCUS & GARTELLE
Hardly fit to open the show in a first-class vaudeville house these days. 10 Min. F.S.

LAURA BUCKLEY
Costume changes in the presence of the audience and impersonations of types. A good act for this pot. 13 Min. in One.

COOMBS & ALDWELL
Two good looking young men., pleasing personalities, splendid voices, who sing ballads and coon songs exceptionally well and who made quite a hit. 14 Min. in One.

MASON-KEELER CO. 
In  "In and Out;" same big hit as last seson. 30 Min. F.S.

WINSOR MC CAY
Well known cartoonist, presents his act of chalk pictures and motion pictures. A real hit. 24 Min. in One.

BENDIX ENSEMBLE PLAYERS
This is a splendid musical organization, playing the class of music that vaudeville people like. As the act stands it was a decided success, all of their number being strongly applauded and a big hand at the finish. While the act will go anywhere in its present shape, and no one need to be afraid to play them, I am going to suggest that they cut out the singer for future engagements and make an allowance on the salary for his absence. I don't think he adds anything to the act, my impression being that the audience are more interested in the instrumental work of the four players, and in the short time alloted to them it would be better to give them an entire program of instrumental music. Whether or not this is done, this is an act that should be booked; it will draw musical people like wildfire and please everybody. The applause was just as strong from the second balcony as from the orchestra floor. 20 Min. F.S

MR. & MRS. JIMMIE BARRY
In the act played by them last season, "The Rube," which went very strong. 25 Min. in One.

4 PREVOSTS
An act that out-lived its usefulness several years ago. All right in the little towns and 5 and 10 cent shows, but no good for us. 9 Min. It seemed like 29.
