PROVIDENCE E. F. ALBEE JAN. 24, 1922 I don't care an awful lot for the show this week. There is nothing in it that makes any tremendously strong impression although some of the acts were very well received. I am quite sure there will be no profit because of the cost of the show. CHARLES LOVENBERG LEXEY & O'CONNOR - Young fellow and girl in a bright act made up practically of dancing with a little singing interspersed. 10 minutes in one. 1 TORCOM BEZAZIAN & EDNA WHITE - Mr. Bezazian is a very fine baritone soloist and Miss White is an excellent performer upon the cornet. She also plays the piano and sings in a duet with Mr. Bezazian in which she shows a very good soprano voice. The act is very nicely mounted and was most decidely one of the big hits of the show. They are easily good for number three in any bill and could hold number five with credit. No one should be afraid to play them where good singing and good music is appreciated. It is not over classical and appeals to all kinds of people. 15 minutes full stage, could close in one. CASEY & WARREN - This act on its previous appearance went over very well indeed. This time they flopped terribly. 14 minutes in one. BOBBY BERNARD & COMPANY - In a comedy sketch in which Mr. Bernard characterizes a young Hebrew salesman. A number of good laughs and the act seemed to please decidely. 19 minutes full stage. SIDNEY PHILLIPS - Mr. Phillips is by no means bad but somehow just falls short of being a first class monologist. He got over fairly well. 13 minutes in one. GERTRUDE HOFFMAN - 38 minutes full stage. BURKE & DURKIN - These people were moved from number five to number seven, which position they held most creditably scoring a very big hit. 21 minutes in one. COWNELL, LEONA & ZIPPY - Man, woman and dog. Mr. Cownell was unable to appear in the afternoon performance because he was laid up in the hotel suffering from intoxication. They played the night show and I think the act, under more favorable conditions, could be classed as a good one, fitting best in a number two or four spot. They held the audience pretty well at the finish but made no great impression excepting through two or three acrobatic tricks performed by the man and a little work by the dog. Their act last night ran 8 minutes in one.
