REPORT ON PROVIDENCE SHOW, WEEK OF FEBRUARY 7, 1916.
CHARLES LOVENBERG, Manager.
The bill this week is an exceptionally good one, practically every act on the bill scoring.
The 3 Wheelers
Acrobatic act with a little tumbling. Three men. Do some extraordinary tricks, and the act is enlivened by a little comedy which I think could as well be omitted. 8 Minutes. Full Stage.
Holmes & Buchanan
Man and woman in a fairly good singing act. 14 Minutes  In One.
Bernard & Scarth
Two young people in a novel idea of an act In One which pleased very well indeed. 14 Minutes.
Mr. & Mrs. Norman Phillips
This act went fairly well. It might go better in houses in which there was no stock company that had previously played "Baby Mine", of which this sketch is a terrible piracy. The entire plot is the first act of that play, most of the situations have been taken bodily. It might be well to note that Margaret Mayo wrote the play, "Baby Mine", and this sketch is credited to Marie and Francis Nordstrom. It took two of them to do it. 16 Minutes. Full Stage.
THE SIX AMERICAN DANCERS
Well known act which went better in this house than it ever did before. 15 Minutes In One.
CHAS. E. EVANS & HELENA PHILLIPS
In a very good comedy sketch called "A Forgotten Combination." I was most agreeably surprised with this act. I expected something fairly good, and got an act that was full of laughs from start to finish. This act should, by all means, be played anywhere that they have not played, and at the price and with Evans's reputation, it is a bargain. 27 Minutes Full Stage.
MME. DONALDA
One of the best acts of the kind we ever played. No house in which good music is liked ought to overlook her. 11 Minutes. In One.
MORTON & MOORE
Well known act which scored its usual success. 25 Minutes Opens Full Stage, Closes IN One.
GRUBER'S ANIMALS
Exceptionally fine animal act. 15 Minutes Full Stage.
Motion Pictures
