Report on PROVIDENCE SHOW, Week of March 9, 1914. Chas. Lovenberg, Manager. The bill this week hardly came up to expectations; still there were some acts that went very well. THE PEERS Comedy bar act. These men do some very good tricks and some of their material is quite funny, but they are inclined to put in a lot of actions that are not fit for parlor observance, to say the least. A good opening act. 8 Min. F. S. NEIL MC KINLEY Mr. McKinley started in very tamely, but managed to gain some favor as he proceeded, although nothing of any consequence happened until his final song which made a hit more by the assistance of our property man and stage matron than by Mr. McKinley's work. 15 Min. in One. MRS. GENE HUGHES & CO. In "Youth." Too well known to require comment. 24 Min. F. S. LEIGHTNER & JORDAN These two young women did very well in the usual sister act and gained considerable favor with the audience, but I don't consider them nearly as good as Muriel & Frances, Moore & Young or the Farber Sisters. 14 Min. in One. ORFORD'S ELEPHANTS Unquestionably the greatest act of its kind ever seen and one that, no doubt, will draw us considerable money. 18 Min. F. S. DEVINE & WILLIAMS These people had rather a hard time holding this spot; managed to get by. 14 Min. in One. MME. DOREE'S CO. In "Scenes From Grand Opera." From the applause standpoint this was the decided hit of the show. 33 Min. F. S. Can close in One. NIP & TUCK Comedy acrobats and contortionists. Hardly strong enough for this spot on the bill; would do better as an opener. 7 Min. in One. MOTION PICTURES O. K.
