BIOJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW MONDAY DECEMBER 21, 1914.
THE TURNERS: Acrobatic Roller Skaters, 11 minutes (3) Lady & Man. Good act, being somewhat different from most of its kind, in that the introduction of some clever acrobatic feats gives an added touch of novelty quite out of keeping with acts of this nature.
CAPT. JACK BARNET & SON: Lilliputians, 12 minutes (1) Special drop. Good act, appealing particularly to the ladies and juveniles: A Good line of comedy talk keeps everybody in a laughable mood, and their interpretation of the tango makes a happy finale.
COLE, RUSSELL & DAVIS: Comedy skit, "Waiters Wanted"; 1 Lady 2 Men. Special Drop (1) A Riot of laughter, the house being in a veritable uproar during their entire act. Laughs follow in rapid succession from beginning to end, and theirs is a real hit.

[W. E. Parmenter?] Manager.


BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW THURSDAY DECEMBER 24, 1914.
THE KRELLES: Musical, 16 minutes (2) Plush Drop. Lady and Man. Fairly good act, violin and cello most prominent. Piano only fair, and vocal selections by the lady only passably fair. Scenic equipment excellent, and makes a beautiful stage picture, in fact this particular business is the most redeeming feature of the act.
BROWNING & DEANE: Singing, Talking and Dancing, 13 minutes (1) 2 Men. Fair act, talk being productive of more or less laughter, and their dancing is fairly interesting.
NORINE, CARMEN'S MINSTRELS: 21 Minutes (1) Special drop, 1 Lady 6 Men. The first part while in the circle is very mediocre, there being only one good solo. The talk contained more or less profanity and questionable jokes, which I commanded them to eliminate after the matinee. The quartette selections are the best thing they do, and it is the only portion that gets them anything like success.
