PROVIDENCE. R. I.    E. F. ALBEE    MARCH 29th.    20
We are enjoying this week a most excellent bill, by far the best we have had in some time. This is the kind of a show that Providence people like and with due allowance for Holy Week conditions, will do business.
CHAS. LOVENBERG.

BLACK & WHITE: Well known act of two young women in acrobatic work, with a little dancing and a song introduced, which scored right from the start. 7 min. full stage.
JED DOOLEY & COMPANY: Practically single man monologue, something on the order of Edwin George excepting he plays the saxaphone and twirls a rope instead of juggling. Has a lot of good material which he delivers well. Made a hit. 20 minutes, full stage.
ROSE & MOON: Well known dancing production which received well merited applause and plenty of it. 14 minutes, full stage.
MARGARET YOUNG: Character songs. This lady made a decided hit with the audience. 16 minutes in one.
BERT ERROLL: Probably the best vocalist among the female impersonators and undoubtedly the best dressed. The act also contains plenty of comedy. Did very well indeed. 15 minutes, full stage.
BRISCOE & RAUH: Man and woman in an act of songs and talk which was most satisfactory. 18 minutes in one.
GEORGE W. KEELY & COMPANY: In "The Flattering Word". I do not recall when I have seen in vaudeville a better sketch than this. I would hardly say that it is as good as the J. M. Barrie or Oscar Wilde writings, but the work certainly approaches the lines of the two more emminent men. It is full of laughs and carries a very good story and moral lesson. Also it is decidedly well played. 26 minutes, full stage.
HENRI SCOTT: Operatic baritone. TO say that Mr. Scott made a hit would be putting it most mildly. The audience were insisting upon more and more. 15 minutes, open in two, close in one.
ARA SISTERS: Clever dancing act which closed the bill in a satisfactory manner. 10 minutes, full stage.
