BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I., Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, October 9, 10 and 11. WILLIAMS & KENT--- Two men; comedy act entitled "On and Off." Open in one (blackface) and close in full stage (whiteface). This act I think has about run its course; when Flanagan & Edwards dropped it it should have died. 15 min. Went only fair. HOLLY HOLLIS--- "The Girl from Rubetown". Eccentric Comedienne; stories and songs. 13 min in one; went good. LEONA LAMAR--- "The Girl With One Thousand Eyes". Mental Telepathy Act; This lady makes a nice appearance; very neat; she is blindfolded as she answers all questions very rapidly and correctly as stated so by all who asked questions of her, such as age, time of birth, names, lost articles, about positions, etc., etc. Went rather slow at matinee, but better at night; but people are beginning to talk about the act, and I'm sure it will go great all week. 22 min. in two. A. S. Watson BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I., Thursday, Friday and Saturday, October 12, 13 and 14. FRANKIE HEATH--- Assisted by a Pianist, offers a "Repertoire of New Songs" 15 min. olio; Went poor GRANVILLE & MACK--- "The Street Organ Grinders"--man and woman, doing a comedy act, introducing singing and musical numbers; makeup as Italians; 18 min.; open in two and close in street. Went very good at matinee and a cleanup at night. LEONA LAMAR---(All Week). Going great. A. S. Watson
