Report on PROVIDENCE SHOW, Week of Feb. 26, 1912.
CHAS. LOVENBERG, Manager.
The bill this week is a decided improvement upon those we have had lately; every act in the bill making good.
DE VOIE TRIO
Ring act. A very nice feature for an opening spot. Could do better on a pinch. 9 Min. F. S.
VICTORIA FOUR
This is a fairly good act; better than I thought I was going to get from some of the poor reports I had read. They filled the No. 2 spot with satisfaction. 12 Min. in One.
5 SULLYS
In a lively vaudeville skit called "The Information Bureau." While the individuals are not particularly great as actors, still there is a lot of life and go to the act; some clever dancing and as a whole it gets over in good style. 18 Min. F. S.
MINNIE ALLEN
Miss Allen is entitled to a lot of credit for getting out of the beaten path and getting some songs that are unusual and novel. Went very well with the audience this afternoon. 14 Min. in One.
The POLICE INSPECTOR
A very good dramatic sketch, well blended comedy and serious situations and lines, but it is not as well played as the sketch warrants. It went fairly well, however. 20 Min. F. S.
CONROY & LE MAIRE
Black-face comedy talking act that is well-known along the line and which made quite a hit this afternoon. 15 Min. in One.
FLORENCE NASH, JOSEPH JEFFERSON & MINNETTE BARRETT
In "In 1999," a burlesque dramatic sketch splendidly written and probably the best acted bit we have ever had in the house. To my mind a good proposition for any theatre. 20 Min. F. S.
W. S. DICKINSON
"Rube, Justice of the Peace," in a very funny monologue that scored very strongly. 13 Min. in One.
THE RIALS
Novelty act. A little work on the rings, juggling, acrobatics, comedy, etc. Splendid feature that closed the show in excellent shape. 13 Min. F. S.
MOTION PICTURES  O. K.
