REPORT on PROVIDENCE SHOW, WEEK of SEPTEMBER 18, 1916. CHARLES LOVENBERG, Manager. The bill this week is a good one, taken as a whole, although there are some weak spots in it. However, I think the acts that are good are so very good that they will take care of the business. Noack The Man on The Eiffel Tower. All right for an opening spot, and while he got quite a little applause, I am under the impression that these acts have very little value in modern vaudeville. 10 Minutes In Two. Billy Schoen & Elizabeth Mayne The man appears as sort of a refined comedian and the girl of the present day chorus girl type, in an act of talking and singing and a little dance step at the finish. Not very much of an act in my mind, and doesn't get very far with the audience. 17 Minutes In One. Estelle & Adelaide Lovenberg with Thomas & Simon Neary In their new act which they term, "AROUND THE COMPASS". This is an arrangement of songs and dances of the North, East, South and West, giving a chance for many changes of costumes and scenery. Naturally, the dancing is a most important feature of the act, but Mr. Simon Neary is a very fine vocalist and adds materially to the whole. The act repeated the same success here that it has been credited with in other places that it has played. In fact, it is a much bigger hit than the "Six American Dancers" ever were here. 22 Minutes Opens Full Stage Closes with 3 Minutes In One. There is nothing to "strike" in the act when they finish with their full stage work, only drops to be taken up, thus, leaving the stage clear for anything that might follow. We have quite an elaborate set following them this week and are making it without any trouble. Ryder Keane & Ilka Deihl In a sketch called "The Pretenders". Rather light weight. 17 Minutes Full Stage. Nan Halperin Nan Halperin's work is so well known that it needs no description. I can only say I was wonderfully surprised in the improvement over the work that she gave us here last season. She is unquestionably as good a performer as any single woman in the business She made a tremendous hit yesterday afternoon and night. 27 Minutes In One. Merian's Dogs Another well known act that does not need description. The kind of an act that is always valuable here. 13 Minutes Full Stage. Van & Schenck Another Big hit. 18 Minutes In One. Navassar Girls Too well known to require comment. 17 Mins. Full 17 Minutes Full Stage. Motion Pictures O. K. Cuts and Alterations Schoen & Mayne Girl to wear stockings. Cut the word "Devil", and the line "Forgive Them, Father, They Know Not What They Do". The Pretenders Cut the suggestion "What the H-----"
