PROVIDENCE E.F. ALBEE FEBRUARY 13, 1922 The bill this week is quite good. With one exception everything went very well indeed, although it was not the headliners that made the big hits of the show by any means. CHARLES LOVENBERG POTTER & HARTWELL - Man and woman who are giving about the same act that they gave a number of years ago but present it in better style and served as a very good opening act. 10 minutes full stage. JULIETTE DIKA - The act MIss Dika is giving us this season is about a thousand percent better than she offered when she played for us a few years ago. She has some very good material and sells it in good style. Made a hit. 20 minutes in one. THE COMEBACKS - These old timers were probably the very big hit of the show. A great act. 30 minutes full stage. Were obliged to cut out some of their encores in order to present the act in a little less time and shorten the show. JACK BENNY - Monologist, introducing a little violin playing. Has some good material and went very well. 15 minutes in one. ELINORE & WILLIAMS - Some new material, some old. All of it went very well. 19 minutes opening and closing in one. BRADLEY & ARDINE - Possibly Bradley & Ardine were the hit of the show. No small part of the act is the clever showmanship of their pianist John Irving Fisher. 20 minutes full stage. LEW DOCKSTADER - He fell down like a thousand of bricks. He never landed with one joke. 17 minutes in one. RAE SAMUELS - Miss Samuels had a very tough spot following Lew Dockstader's slowness and a late show. She did very well indeed but was by no means a clean up. Hardly worth the salary to this house. 14 minutes in one. THE FILLIS FAMILY - The family consists of a man and woman and three horses. A nice act, allright to play in order to have something different but they made no great impression. The act lacks class. 10 minutes full stage.
