BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1916.
THE REYNOLDS: SONG, DANCE & COMEDY SKIT, 12 MINUTES (2) TWO LADIES, ONE MAN.
Singing is not notable, dancing is only ordinary, and the 'surprise' is merely a bit of by-play that gets only a scattered laugh here and there.
NATE LEIPZIG: CARD MANIPULATOR, 18 MINUTES (1)
Who would have thought, fifteen years ago, watching this man as one of the team of Berol and Beroal, "The Ragpicker and the Artist," that he would have developed into the marvelously gifted entertainer he is to-day? Quite the greatest single artist we have ever had here, and in this laudatory tribute I voice the opinion of all who witnessed his marvelous skill at all performances yesterday. His was a flattering reception, truly well-deserved.
JAS. EADIE & ANN RAMSDEN: SONG, DANCE & COMEDY SKIT, 12 MINUTES, C. D. F.
Extremely clever eccentric dancing by the man, highly artistic vocal renditions by the lady, the whole interspersed with a delightfully infectious vein of comedy makes a most successful offering that was received with voluminous applause.



BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW FOR THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1916.
BERTRAM O'DARE: VOCALIST, 13 MINUTES (1)
A good program rendered in a voice far from phenomenal, makes an offering fairly passable.
DeLEON & DAVIES: "BURLESQUE MOVIES," 15 MINUTES (1) SPECIAL DROP
Material is very original and of the laugh-compelling kind; especially so, the burlesque business which has to do with a certain type of the 'movies', and here-in they obtain their greatest number of laughs.
THREE ARTHURS: BICYCLE ACT, 9 MINUTES, FULL STAGE.
Although showing nothing new, they retain all that is best in the cyclists stock in trade, those things which, though seen many times, are too good to be delegated to the shelf, and the act is, all things considered, a very desirable offering.
[W. E. Parmenter?] Mgr.
