REPORT OF Bijou Theatre, Woonsocket, R. I., Thursday, Friday and Saturday, April 7, 8 and 9.
VICTORIA--- Premiere Danseuse Classique. Dances four numbers--very classy. Change of costume for each number--carry two drops. Went poor both afternoon and evening. Her act is all right but is not suitable for this place--don't like this kind of dancing. 10 min. full.
JAMES REGAN & CO.--- In Irish Melodys. Two men; one at piano, the other does the singing, with a little talking thrown in. Sings several Irish songs--Received very few laughs through act, a fair hand at finish. 12 min. in one.
THE NIKKO TRIO--- In a Beautiful Japanese Novelty. Two men and a woman; do stunts on the pole, turn hand-springs, contortion, and "The Contest" on a racing machine. Received many laughs and hands during act and at finish a big hand. 12 min.
CARSON & WILLARD--- In "Something Different"--Two men. This is surely something different in vaudeville. They had a good line of talk on the topics of the present day and a way of their own of putting it over that went big with the audience. They closed with a couple of songs and received a big hand. 18 min in one.
