SHOW PLAYING AT KEITH'S PROVIDENCE THEATRE WEEK OF SEPT. "24, 1917.
We have this week a bill that plays very well, better in fact than I expected.

Harry Vivian & Co., In a very good act of rifle shooting and embellished in a few stories. 18 minutes F.S.
Mabel Russell, Marty Ward & Co., In a rather lively act of comedy talk, singing and dancing. 17 minutes. Open and close in one.
Eddie & Birdie Conrad. In a clever little act of songs, dances and imitations. 12 minutes in one.
Lee Kolhmar Co., This act was a decided surprise after what I heard about it. I didn't expect much, but Monday afternoon the audience as well as myself decided it was a very good act. Personally I think it was the best thing on the bill. A very good sketch and decidedly well played. 25 minutes F.S.
Cecil Cunningham. Half of Miss Cunninghams' act is old and half is new. She went very well indeed. 25 minutes F.S. close in one.
Arnut Bros. Next to Kolhman this is the best act on the bill and so voted by the audience. 16 minutes F.S. close in one.
Eddie Leonard & Co., This act is to well known to require much comment other than to say that, he knows more tricks for securing unearned applause than any preformer in the world. 25 min. F.S. very short close in one.
Jack Alfred & Co., Acrobated act given in the form of a sketch  A very good novelty, well delivered and well received. 11 minutes F.S.
Motion pictures O.K.
CUTS.
Lady with Harry Vivian wears tights instead of appearing in bare legs.
Eddie & Birdie Conrad, eliminates "sun of a gun" and "damn".
