PROVIDENCE, R. I. E. F. ALBEE SEPT 8th, 9
This is one of the greatest playing bills I ever saw. From start to finish, everything made good and some of the acts made a most decided hit. Good business prevailed in spite of the hot weather and I look for a very fine week.
CHAS. LOVENBERG
MARTYN & FLORENCE:
I a little act composed mainly of juggling, interspersed with a little singing and dancing by the woman. The man's catching of balls on a fork held in his mouth, thrown by people in the audience, is about the best work of that kind I have seen. They have very pretty stage setting. 10 minutes, full stage.
POWERS & WALLACE:
Man and woman in a little flirtation sketch and southern dialect. Very good act that pleased immensely. 16 minutes in one.
CHARLES IRWIN:
One of our best monologist. Most of his talk being on Scotch dialect. Made a very big hit. 21 minutes in one.
LANGFORD & FREDERICKS:
These people offer one of the best presented skits with a little singing and dancing introduced, that we have had in a ling time. The man has a splendid personality and gets his material over in a very good style. 14 minutes, full stage.
RYAN & HEALEY:
These boys made an unqualified hit, particularly as Healey is a Providence boy and he received something just short of an ovation. The have a very fine act, good enough to play anywhere and in any place on the bill. 16 min. in one.
DUVAL & SYMONDS:
Man and woman with talking act/ with a lot of very funny material. Made quite a hit. 13 minutes in one.
"KISS ME."
Very elaborate musical comedy playlet, well put on, particularly as to costumes. 40 minutes, full stage.
MORAN & MACK:
Black face comedians who repeated their success of other theatres. 15 minutes in one.
RINALDO BROTHERS:
Hand balancing and statue posing in bronze. 7 minutes, full stage.
CUTS:
"KISS ME." -- Omit the word "HELL."
DUVAL & SYMONDS: -- Omit Damn and What the H --
POWERS & WALLACE: -- Lady, please not appear in bare legs.
