BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW MONDAY SEPT. 20, 1915.
DARE BROTHERS: EQUILIBRISTS, 8 MINUTES (2) SPECIAL SET.
Best act of its kind ever seen here, They perform with astonishing ease and grace, a good routine of feats requiring extra ordinary strength.
JOHN O'MALLEY: TENOR VOCALIST, 8 MINUTES (1)
Has a pleasing voice of good quality and power which he uses to excellent advantage in a program of popular selections.
THE SHARROCKS: MIND READING SPECIALTY, 18 MINUTES (2) S. DROP.
The mind reading business is very cleverly done, the rapidity with which the lady answers the various questions is truly astonishing, and there is just the right vein of comedy to keep everyone thoroughly amused throughout.

[W. E. Parmenter?] Manager.



BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW THURSDAY SEPT. 23, 1915.
JOE CASE: CHARACTER COMEDIAN, 11 MINUTES (1)
Fair act, his character delineations combined with dialect at times quite funny, causes considerable laughter, and he is the only one on the bill who gets anything like recognition.
BROWN & SUMMONS: SINGING AND TALKING SKIT, 13 MINUTES (1)
Poor act, having little or nothing to recommend it. The comedy attempts are wretched, and nobody seemed to be very favorably impressed with the offering.
COLONIAL MONTROSE TROUPE: ACROBATIC, 10 MINUTES C.D.F. TWO LADIES, FOUR MEN.
Six people in the act, and most of the real work is done by only two, the others, for the most part standing about in posing attitude. Do the usual run of such acts with nothing alarming or extraordinary. In fact they accomplish only one trick that stands out prominently, the rest being very ordinary. The costuming of the colonial period is extremely attractive.

[W. E. Parmenter?] Manager.
