Report on PROVIDENCE SHOW, Week of February 17, 1913.
CHAS. LOVENBERG, Manager.
The bill this week is most satisfactory; not an act but what made good for all that was expected of it and most of them for a little bit more.
WARD & WEBER
These two boys have something of a novelty in the way of a dancing act; nicely presented, with special draperies and effective costumes. while it no doubt pleased, they failed to get very much applause. Probably the weakest act in the bill. 10 Min. in One.
MILTON & DOLLY NOBLES
In their new sketch, "Auto Suggestion." This is a splendid vehicle; contains many bright lines and funny situations and for the money paid, it is thoroughly all right as it stands, but it is too bad that two more clever people didn't get hold of this sketch for it might have been made a real headline act. 24 Min. F. S.
KIMBERLY & MOHR
Two men in a piano and singing act, presented in the form of a little sketch; a very novel idea, well worked out; the men are clever and the act made a decided hit. 16 Min. in One.
ZERTHO'S DOGS
A very pretentious dog act, introducing a large number of animals with special scenery and a good deal of hoorah; very showmanlike; almost a headline feature. 23 Min. F. S.
OTA GYGI
I don't think there is any question but what this man is the best violinist that vaudeville has ever had; in fact I should be rather surprised if in a few years, he is not ranked among the great soloists of the world. He made a most decided hit this afternoon, the audience being very loath to allow him to leave the stage. 15 Min. in One.
FLORENCE ROBERTS & CO.
Dramatic sketch, "The Woman Intervenes;" some serious moments; some light comedy; a very clever sketch; most capably played, not only by Miss Roberts, but by her support. 24 Min. F. S.
JAMES THORNTON
First time here in about ten years. Had the audience screaming with laughter for 20 Min. in One.
LENA PANTZER
While it was rather daring to put Miss Pantzer down to close the show, she held the spot quite satisfactorily. While not a big hit, she got considerable applause and where necessary, she can maintain this position. She opens with a spade dance, closing with some clever bounding wire work; different from the usual run of wire acts and for an earlier spot, O.K. 8 Min. F. S.
