REPORT ON PROVIDENCE SHOW, WEEK OF NOVEMBER 8th, 1909.
Chas. Lovenberg, Manager.
The bill plays very well indeed, ranking among the best we have had this season.
Sandow & Lambert Two men in an exhibition of muscular developement and feats of strength. A very good act for this position. Thoroughly qualified to open any show in the world. 10 Min. F. S.
Suzanne Rocamora A very attractive young woman with a very good voice who gave one of the best single woman singing acts we have had in a long time. As far as merit is concerned, it is a much better offering than we got from Nella Bergen. 10 min. in One
The Alpha Troupe Hoop rollers. Good act. 12 Min. F. S. 
Ryan & White Well-known dancing act that faired extremely well. 9 Min. One.
Robert B. Kegerreis & Co. In Edgar Allen Poe's "A Tell Tale Heart". This is a well-written playlet and exceptionally well acted by Mr. Kegerreis and was xxxx received with considerable interest and strong applause at the finish. However, I am under the impression that it is not a good vaudeville proposition, being entirely too intense. I do not object to serious sketches, but his one goes to the extreme. 21 Min. F. S.
Lew Hawkins Mr. Hawkins dug down deep for a lot of the joke that he is telling, many of them being so old that they are new to this generation. However, the older they were the better they went and inasmuch as Mr. Hawkins scored a hit I have no cause for complaint. 17 Min. in One.
Robert DeMont Trio Comedy acrobatic act, "Hotel Turnover", among the best we ever played int he house. Could easily hold the closing position. 9 Min. F. S. 
Lyons & Yosco Harp, cello and mandolin playing and singing, with a little comedy touch. The decided hit of the bill. An act that will draw  money. 20 Min. in One.
Louis Simon & Co. Presenting their familiar sketch, "The New Coachman", which, while it got a great many laughs, and is quite satisfactory, did not go with the wild shrieks that it has on previous visits. I think it has been seen too many times. 34 Min. F.S.
Motion Pictures O.K.
