Donald & Carson.
The novelty of this offering goes a long ways helping it out, but I think the people themselves are decidedly clever and the material very good. They scored exceedingly strong with yesterday's audience. I shall be glad to see them come back next season. 30 Min. opening in 1-1/2, 3 Min. close in One, 2 Shows.

Rain-Dears.
Novel acts of this kind don't bear reposting very well in Providence. Besides that, i hardly think the act quite up to last year's production of the name which is usually the case when a thing falls into the hands of Mr. Joseph Hart so he is inclined to cheapen things generally. I don't want to give the impression that the act was a failure, but I would have preferred something else at the price. 16 Min. Full stage, 2 Shows.

Howard & Howard.
These two boys were greeted with considerable advance applause showing that they are favorites here and they finished more strongly than they began. There is no doubt that this is one of the most desirable acts in one that we have. 20 Min. 2 Shows.

Monroe, Mack & Lawrence.
In "Now to Get Rid of Your Mother-in-Law". Following all the extremely good comedy which preceeded them and very late on the bill, these people held their place remarkably well indeed. 19 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.

Motion Pictures.
O.K.

Sperry & Ray.
In a slang sketch, which, to my mind, is rather a poor offering and which I wouldn't want to use again. 10 Min. Full Stage, 2 Shows.
