REPORT on PROVIDENCE SHOW, WEEK of OCTOBER 23, 1916. CHARLES LOVENBERG, Manager. We have a particularly good bill this week, containing any number of hits, and the indications are for a good week's business. Sidney & Townley Man and woman,-the Sidney formerly De Haven & Sidney,-singing and dancing. Fair little act that answers the purpose in this spot. 11 Minutes In One. Joseph Norcross & Co Mr. Norcross is the famous old minstrel interlocutor and bass singer. He was put in the bill principally because of the fact that he is the oldest living Elk, and I figured correctly that he would draw some business. A very large Elk party has been arranged for him for one night this week. The act gets by, and with a little reconstruction will be thoroughly all right in an early spot. Any house that can see the value of the advertising and the draft because of the Elks et cetera, would do well to play him. He works with a lady presenting a little skit introducing some songs, the lady singing a song in three voices. 22 Minutes Full Stage. Burley & Burley Well known contortion act with talking that scored its usual hit. 13 Minutes In One Prosperity Clever little sketch, well known over the circuit, that pleased immensely. 15 Minutes In Two & Half Melita Bonconi Violiniste Miss Bonconi scored the biggest hit of any similar act we have ever played. She is an excellent violinist who played semi-classical music entirely, but of a kind that is enjoyed by all. I never saw an audience held so quietly
