BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
Monday, December 13, 1909.   Weather, snow and rain.
Matinee Performance.   Business, light.
OVERTURE. Time 2 minutes.
Reel No. 1. "The Life of Moses." Good film. Time 16 minutes.
Reel No. 2. "On The Border" and "In Wrong Sime." Comedy and dramatic reel. Time 16 minutes.
JOSEPHINE BEAULIEU and JACK KAMMERER in Songs. Good. Time 10 minutes.
Reel No. 3. "The Keeper of the Light." Good film. Time 15 minutes.
JACK LYLE. Went well.
Monologuist and singer in eccentric make-up. Line of talk good and well put over. Songs full of humor. In One. Time 10 minutes. 
MIACO PANTOMIME CO. Went bad.
Acrobatic and trick house act by four men. The acrobatic work is good and gained some applause but the comedy is of little account. Act dragged at the matinee (and was but little improved at the night show.) One man does a tramp and the others are waiters, the scene representing the front of a series of bdildings upon a street. The act was given its first showing here and may develop into something worthy but as given today will never add weight to any bill. Time 17 minutes. Full Stage.
IDA WINSTEAD.
This lady did not appear, a wire cancelling on account of illness having been received.

BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
Matinee, Thursday, December 16. Weather, fair. Business, light.
OVERTURE. Time 3 minutes.
REEL. NO. 1. "Consul" Aboard the Steamship." Good picture. Time 13 minutes.
REEL NO. 2. "The Pine Ridge Feud." Dramatic reel. Good. Time 16 minutes.
JACK KAMMERER. Cabinet song. Good. Time 4 minutes.
REEL NO. 3. "A Corner in Wheat." Dramatic reel . Biograph. Good Time 15 min.
'JENNIE EDWARDS. Went well.
Comedienne. Sings Three songs, furnishing her own accompaniment on an organ for the second. Changes costume. Works in one, and two. A very good act. Time 10 minutes.
BILLY CROSS. Went well.
Singing and dancing and monologue. Talk is very good, and well handled. Songs, fair. Dancing (clog) good. Works in one. Time 13 min.
KITAMURA JAPANESE TROUPE. Went big.
Eight Japs in a series of stunts common to all acts of the kind. All the work is nicely done and the costuming is, as usual, very elaborate and striking. The act carries a drop for a background, which creates no end of talk because of its beauty. The act throughout is strong and scores the biggest hit of anything ever seen here. Time 15 minutes.

Miss Beaulieu was in hospital for treatment and missed the matinee. Will work tonight and the rest of the week. Then will lay off for an operation.
