Report on PROVIDENCE SHOW, Week of March 3, 1913.
CHAS. LOVENBERG, Manager.
We are presenting this week another one of those excellent bills that have prevailed the greater part of the season. We are also having indications of another record week, following the big week of last week with Miss Barrymore; the magnate this week being the Edison Talking Pictures. I will have to admit there is some difference in the class of people drawn by the two features, but as they both pay the same price, I presume it is all right.
ROMALO & DELANO
Head balancing act, concluding with a feature of sliding down an incline on his head on a roller skate. A good act right through, that served especially well for an opening. 10 Min. F. S.
MADGE MAITLAND
Singing comedienne. This lady started in rather quietly and I was afraid for a time that she was not going to do very well; the last half of her act picked up, however, and she closed in good style, although not the big hit she has been credited in other cities. 14 Min. in One.
ED REYNARD
First time in two years, who brings us a lot of new material and scored the big hit that he always has in this house. 16 Min. F. S.
EDISON TALKING PICTURES
As noted above, this attraction served to draw one of the biggest houses of the season. The advance sale for the week is also very heavy; the people were most interested and evidently pleased; frequently applauding during the pictures and a strong hand at the finish. 15 Min. in One.
ELSA RUEGGER
Lady cellist. No doubt the best performer upon this instrument and also as good a musical offering as we have ever presented. I want to say that Miss Ruegger is a drawing card in herself; she is well known to all musical people through her connection as soloist with the Boston Symphony, New York Philharmonic and the Chicago Thomas Orchestra, as well as having appeared in recitals in almost all of the cities. The larg sprinkling of musical people in evidence this afternoon showed that she drew her share of the big audience. 14 Min. in Two. Can work in One.
PERRY & WHITE
The big advance hand that these people had on their entrance showed that they are prime favorites; the great success they attain by their work shows that they are still able to hold their own. Among the big hits of a very strong show. 19 Min. in One.
"DETECTIVE KEEN"
One of the best dramatic sketches ever presented here. 18 Min. F. S.
JULIUS TANNEN
First time in some yars of this very clever artist, who also scored a big hit. 18 Min. in One.
THE AUSTRALIAN WOOD-CHOPPERS
A great novelty that made a fine closing to an all round good show. 15 Min. Open with motion pictures in One for about 5 Min. Close F. S. Inasmuch as we have plenty of motion pictures this week, they are eliminating that feature of the act.
REGULAR MOTION PICTURES O. K.
