Report of PROVIDENCE SHOW, Week of December 19, 1910. Chas. Lovenberg, Manager. This is nearer and old fashioned vaudeville show than any we have had in a long time and although it does not cost a lot of money, as shows go these days, it gave the best satisfaction to the audience of any bill we have had in some time. YANKEE & DIXIE Two clever little fox terriers introduced by J. W. Thompson. A nice little act that opened the show in good style. 17 Min. in Two, close in One. THE 6 ENGLISH GEMS There has been a great deal of comment about this act but it is not nearly as bad as it has been made out. I think that I have discovered the greatest trouble with the act, a fault which they are going to remedy at once. I will give a later report afterwards. The trouble is, they are doing all their work with the piano and unlike most other piano acts, in order to be able to do their other work the piano has to be considerably up stage, and consequently the musical accompaniment is lost. They are going to do their work with the orchestra here, possibly tonight or as soon afterwards as they can and I have no doubt that with the orchestration to lift it up there will be a great difference in the act. 16 Min. F. S. Had orchestra at night show, making a great improvement in act. Gained considerable applause. I understand this is a different act than they have done, except the last three days in Union Hill. MONTRELL A very clever juggler with a comedy assistant. There is no doubt that the assistant, at times, detracts from his juggling, but he makes them laugh and I suppose that laughs are valuable. 16 Min. F. S. Can close in One. Eddie MACK & Dot WILLIAMS In a novel singing and dancing skit which met with approval. 18 Min. Open and Close in One. CHASSINO Hand and foot shadowgraphist. Undoubtedly the best of them all. He scored as strongly with the audience as he did on previous occasions. 11 Min. F. S. BROWN & AYER A well-known act that pleased. 22 Min. in One. Rolfe's Musical Comedy Production:- "THE LEADING LADY" A very good act presented with a good company and mountings. It pleased most decidedly. 30 Min. F. S. FAY, 2 COLEYS & FAY While these people went all right and held the spot fairly satisfactorily they failed to score the big hit that has been credited to them in other cities. 13 Min. in One. THE 3 NEVARROS A corking good hand balancing, acrobatic and contortion act. 10 Min. F. S. MOTION PICTURES O. K.
