BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW FOR MONDAY, TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 16, 17.
MONTAGUE'S COMEDY BIRDS: Quite a number of comedy stunts. Accompanied by two men. Went good. 10 Minutes.
Lester Trio: One man two women. "In The Bathroom Mystery". Went fair this afternoon but very good tonight. 15 minutes.
DEIRO: THE FAMOUS PIANO ACCORDEONIST. Went fair this afternoon. Very good tonight. 12 Minutes.
This show is very good all through. The Lester trio has a fine sketch. The comedy is very good act. Should have went better, but this seems to be an hard audience to move.
I had a talk with Deiro this afternoon also this evening. This afternoon he seemed very much discouraged at the reception he received. Said he played last week at Keith's Philadelphia, and 25 minutes was his usual time. Tonight he went a good bit better but not what he deserved.
