BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW THURSDAY APRIL 23, 1914.

GLADIS CORRIELL, Singing comedienne, 12 minutes in (I) Good Act. Has good choice of songs and a very dainty and winsome manner of rendering same. Audience took kindly to her offering and granted fairly good applause.

GEO. N. BROWN & CO., 1 mile walking exhibition on treadmill, 12 min. full stage, two men. Good Act, and seemed to interest the audience who accepted it as a pronounced novelty, and accorded fairly good applause.

CARL HENRY & NELIE FRANCIS, in "JUST NONSENCE [NONSENSE]", 18 Minutes in (I) Extremely good act. The comedy is new and most infectious, and owing to the absurdly nonsensical comicalities which constitutes Mr. Henry's proclivities as a dispenser of fun the audience was in a veritable riot of laughter throughout the presentation. Good applause.
