Managers' report book, July 4, 1915-November 13, 1916

BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW MONDAY JULY 19, 1915.
HARRY LEANDER: COMEDY BICYCLE, 9 MINUTES (1) SPECIAL DROP.
Fairly good act, performing the same routine of tricks in rather a clever manner. The comedy does little in producing laughs.
FOUR SINGERS: 14 MINUTES (1) TWO LADIES. TWO MEN.
Good act, the selections given being new, and of a largely diversified nature. All four possess good voices and the act was quite well received, but I doubt their ability to constitute a feature here, had it not been for the presence of Brindamour a big favorite here.
BRINDAMOUR & COMPANY: MAGICIAN, 22 MINUTES FULL STAGE SPECIAL SET.
Manifests considerable ability in freeing himself from various restraining devices, and his rope ties recall again the days of the famous Davenport Bros. He is quite clever in this department. He was greeted with a veritable ovation here, this being his home town, and the public turned out enmasse to greet him. It bids fair to be a very successful engagement.

BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW THURSDAY JULY 22, 1915.
MORRIS & WILSON: SINGING SPECIALTY 11 MINUTES (2) TWO LADIES.
Weak act the singing being rather poor, and the feeble attempts at comedy are unsuccessful. Some of the costumes worn are rather delapidated, and suggest a visitation to a cleansing establishment.
LEO BEERS: SONGS AND PIANO 14 MINUTES (1)
Excellent act, the material used being new and nicely handled. He has an easy, breezy style that is very refreshing, and the act is a sure hit.
KLUTING'S ENTERTAINERS: TRAINED ANIMALS 12 MINUTES FULL STAGE.
Good act, the animals displaying keen intelligence in some very amusing and clever tricks. The finish makes a pretty spectacle, but the same antipathy which usually greets animal acts was apparent and especially so in view of the act having been seen here before.
