BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW THURSDAY DEC. 2, 1915.
JOHN BOHAN: BANJOIST, 12 MINUTES (1)
Rather weak, the comedy talk is of little use, and the bit with the banjo and mouth organ is very tame.
HERAS & PRESTON: ACROBATS, 7 MINUTES FULL STAGE. 2 MEN.
Accomplish some very good acrobatic feats, working very fast and with no let-up. But the comedy, being very poor, might readily be dispenced with and the act would not suffer in consequence.
MISSES LIGHTNER & ALEXANDER: SINGING & PIANO, 15 MINUTES (1)
Most of the songs are of a tuneful and catchy kind, but the comedy is somewhat weak. The entire affair fails to register up to the feature standard usually looked for at the Bijou.
[W. E. Parmenter?] Mgr.



BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW MONDAY DECEMBER 6 1915.
LITTLE ALLRIGHT: JAP, 8 MINUTES, FULL STAGE.
Considering the man's advanced age, He accomplishes some rather clever feats. The audience was inclined to be lenient, realizing that he had passed the meridien of his one-time art, and accepted it all in a kindly spirit.
DICK & ALICE MOSS: SINGING & DANCING, 14 MINUTES (1)
Rather weak, the singing being of a poor calibre, and they display little ability in dance. They just barely manage to hold attention.
SIX HARVARDS: MUSICAL, 17 MINUTES, FULL STAGE, 4 LADIES, 2 MEN.
The selections on the brass are very well done and exceedingly well received. Some vocal selections seemed to please, and the act in its entirety was accorded a good reception.
[W. E. Parmenter?] Mgr.
