Mr. Bond is giving a modernized version of “Lend Me Five Shillings”, reduced to about 25 min. for vaudeville purposes. This was its first presentation today and through quite crude in spots, it got a good many laughs and seemed to please the audience. I am not particularly taken with his support but there is no doubt but that he will put the act into shape before the week is out and make it thoroughly acceptable. I am only sorry that he didn’t do it before in some other place than Providence, as I will not get the full value of it. 25 min. in 3, 2 shows.
