REPORT ON PROVIDENCE SHOW, WEEK OF MARCH 21ST, 1910.

Charles Lovenberg, Manager.

The show plays exceedingly well for the amount of money invested and, for Holy Week, should give us all that we should expect.

IMZA & LORELLA Leapers and comedy acrobats. They do some very clever work but the comedy is rather tame. 12 Min. F.S. Close in One.

HENRY HORTON & CO This act played very well with the audience, who gave every evidence of enjoying it. 22 Min. Open in One, close F.S.

HIBBERT & WARREN Blackface Comedians. An act that I do not care for and only goes well at the finish. 13 Min. in One.

JAMES YOUNG & CO. In "Wanted - A Sister". Good lively comedy sketch, which got plenty of laughs. Considering all that Mr. Young does to help business, with his Shakespearean lectures at the schools, he is excellent value. 25 min. F.S.

STUART, the MALE PATTI At the first show, Stuart had a hard time of it, second to last in a very late show, altho he got plenty of applause. In this spot, he will no doubt be a hit. 17 Min. Open in 2, close in One.

FRED TALLMAN Pool expert. This man makes some wonderful work and I think will attract business because of the novelty of the act. At present the act lacks that element known as "showmanship". If he had as bright a man with him as Griffith has, the act could be made a great big feature. 23 Min. F. S.

CONROY, LeMAIRE & CO Comedy sketch which opened a little quietly but certainly had them screaming before it finished. 27 Min. Open One, close F.S.

JOCK MCKAY Scottish Comedian. This fellow was certainly a surprise. He made such a big hit the middle of the show that I have moved him down to this spot. Comments were free around us from auditors that they liked him as well as Harry Lauder. 18 Min. in One.

THALERO'S DOG and PONY CIRCUS Entirely different from any other act of the kind and a great novelty. 10 Min. F.S.

PICTURES O.K.
