Report on PROVIDENCE SHOW, Week of December 9, 1912.
CHAS. LOVENBERG, Manager.
The show played very well indeed, practically every act doing all that was expected of it, excepting the opening turn, which is entirely too short to be of any value.
LYNCH & ZELLER
A very good club juggling act - that is, what they do is good - but it seems rather foolish to pay anything like a salary to two men to go out there and do 5 minutes for this kind of work, and they say that is the complete length of their act, notwithstanding that their agent assured me that they did 10 min., possibly 12, in One.
LINTON & LAWRENCE
These two very clever people are giving us the same act as last season with a few new twists; the act scored most satisfactorily. 15 Min. F. S.
SEYMOUR BROWN
Mr. Brown sings songs effectively and his material is good; while he did very nicely, he failed to make the big hit that I understood he made in New York; for the amount of applause that he got today, he is amply paid. 15 Min. in One.
JACK KENNEDY & CO.
Comedy sketch entitled "A Business Proposal;" one of the best sketches we have had in a long time; splendidly played by the two men, and the woman is acceptable. 20 Min. F. S.
CONRAD & WHIDDEN
These two young fellows do a very good piano and violin act, depending a good deal upon their ragtime, suggestive motions, etc., which I think is entirely unnecessary and they have agreed to make an effort to clean up the act and play it a little bit straighter and I think they will get just as much out of it and not offend the fastidious people in the audience. 16 Min. in One.
HENRY DIXEY
There is no gainsaying the fact that Mr. Dixey is an artist to his finger tips and our audience realized the fact fully; got considerable applause throughout his act and a good round at the finish. I am sure it is the kind of an act our people like and ought to draw us some business. 17 Min. in Two.
DIAMOND & BRENNAN
The same big hit that they scored here last season and unquestionably the hit of the show. 22 Min. in One.
MOSHER, HAYES & MOSHER
Comedy bicycle act which was satisfactory in this position. 13 Min. F. S.
MOTION PICTURES  O. K.
