REPORT ON PROVIDENCE SHOW, WEEK OF FEBRUARY 22nd, 1909.
Chas. Lovenberg, Manager.
The show is most satisfactory. The best we have had in some time.
Brock, Temple & Co.
Two men and two women in a comedy sketch, "Up Against It", of a decidedly farcical nature, which might hold a little better place than I have given it. I think the material is a little better than the people, who play it too boisterously. Alright, however, for the money. 15 Min. F. S. 3 shows.
Gates & Blake
Two men, one straight and one Jew. Have a fairly good lot of material. Should do very nicely in a number two spot in the smaller houses. 16 Min. in One. 3 shs
Ed Gray
Well-known monologuist who fared as well as usual. 16 Min. in One, 3 shows.

J. Francis Dooley and Corrinne Sayles
This act has been described in other houses. It met with the same success here that it has seemingly elsewhere. Miss Sayles is a very clever comedienne and to my mind is a large part of the act. 25 Min. in One. 2 shows.
The Love Waltz
Too well known to require description. Suffice to say that it was a decided success. Personally I like it all but the man who plays the low comedy part, who, to my mind, is very "punk", and by no mean's "belongs" with the rest. 35 Min. F. S. 2 shows.
