BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW MONDAY FEBRUARY 8, 1915.
GRACE TWINS: Singing and dancing, 10 minutes (1) Only a fair act; Singing is weak, and the dancing is a little better.
CHAS. THOMSON: Juggler, 10 minutes F. S. One or two tricks rather cleverly done; Outside of this the act is very ordinary, showing little of an extraordinary nature.
COAKLEY, HANVEY & DUNLEVY: 20 minutes (1) 3 Men. Rather weak as a feature. The talk includes some very ancient material; There are times when they harmonize fairly well, and their dancing numbers are really the best features of their work. They do not rank at all with some of the really big features we have been having back along.

[W. E. Parmenter?] Manager.


BIOJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW THURSDAY FEBRUARY 11, 1915.
VANDINOFF & LOUIE: Lightning oil painters, 13 minutes (2) Lady and Man. Good novelty act, rapidity and skill being much in evidence, and holding the attention of the spectators throughout. The results attained are very artistic.
JOE MORSE: German comedian, 12 minutes (1) Good line of talk, getting considerable laughter by his man timely and topical witticisms.
PAULINE FEILDING & COMPANY: Singing skit, 22 minutes, full stage, special set. 2 Ladies. 2 Men. Fairly good act, disclosing plenty of comedy that is sure as a laugh getter. Vocal renditions are quite cleverly rendered in voice of good calibre and power, making, all in all, an amusing and entertaining little skit.
