Paul Nevene and Ruby Erwood
Man and woman blackface comedy skit introducing a film, some dancing for a finish. Good line of comedy. Went good. 16 min. In one.
Bernard & Myers
Man and woman in comedy skit “The Cabby and the Fare.” Man makes entrance from front asking woman for his money for driving her to the theatre. Comedy talk and some singing. 15 min. Went well.
The Great Richards
Man and electrician. A beautiful offering of dances with electrical effects. Some very good toe dancing. 14 min. Went good.
Richards
Female impersonator, 9 min. Full stage, special set. A wealth of beautiful colors and light make a very pretty spectacle, and he is clever as a toe dancer. The act is no better than many another of a similar nature, but it is all done by a man, and so the novelty of it all makes for whatever success the offering received.
Corradini’s Menagerie
10 minutes f.s. Circus cyclorama. The horse in this act was taken ill in Providence Saturday. Corradini did the act with the elephant, zebras and dogs, and got away with it pretty well, considering the handicap. He expects to have the horse back in the act by tomorrow.
Grace LaRue
20 minutes in one. Special drapery. Miss LaRue was booked to replace Emma Carus, who was taken ill Saturday in New York. She was a distinct disappointment. Her new act is by no means equal to the one she gave us on her last visit. The songs, while original, are very much the same, which is tiresome. There is not a single catchy air in the entire program. Monday evening Miss LaRue showed up too late to go on her regular spot in the bill.
George MacFarlane
21 minutes in one. O.P. drapery. Mr. MacFarlane was the hit of the show. Has a splendid programme, ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan to the modern ballads, including some old Irish songs. A great, big hit.
Bernard Granville
24 min. A very classy young fellow and a musical comedy favorite who made good with some songs, bits of chatter and some eccentric dancing, all of which he handled splendidly and with excellent results. He registered a very strong applause hit.
Dorothy Jardon
19 min. Making a remarkable stage picture in some striking gowns, she sang several numbers scoring a big applause hit with each one and finished to several curtain calls. A singer who can sing and a headliner that ought to cause talk on any vaudeville bill.
William Pruette & Co.
9 min. With Charles Orr & Co., in “A Holland Romance.” This is a miniature opera in one act with a little love story running through it. The four people employed in telling it have excellent voices and their singing scored quite a hit, especially that by Mr. Pruette, who is a well known and popular American basso. The act finished to a very strong hand.
