BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW MONDAY AUGUST 2, 1915.
RAYMOND THE CLOWN: ACROBATIC COMEDIAN, 12 MINUTES (2)
Fairly clever in the same old routine of work that we have had for so long a time; Finishes with the fall that Bert Melrose made famous no less than a dozen years ago.
FARRELL & PARK SISTERS: SINGING AND DANCING SKIT, 9 MINUTES (1)
Fair act, singing and dancing being only ordinary; Man tries hard with a bit of comedy that gets a few scattered laughs.
AMETA: FIRE AND MIRROR DANCER, 12 MINUTES FULLSTAGE SPECIAL SET.
Equipment utilized makes a very pretty spectacle of color and light, and there are times when the effect is positively beautiful. Quite well recieved.

BIJOU THEATRE, WOONSOCKET, R. I.
REPORT OF SHOW THURSDAY AUGUST 5, 1915.
BENNINGTON SISTERS: SINGING AND PIANO, 15 MINUTES (1)
Good act, their vocal selections, rendered in voices exceptionally pleasing, being well-received, and they constitute one of the best sister teams heard here for some time past.
KLASS & BERNIE: MUSICAL, 13 MINUTES (1) 2 MEN.
Very good act, their program being diversified and very well executed. Their ability and aptitude in playing any selection requested by the audience is a bit of novelty that wins for them unstinted praise.
CYCLING BRUNETTES: 9 MINUTES FULL STAGE 2 MEN.
Very good act, in fact they accomplish some of the most startling feats ever performed here, and the presentation is a geniune success.
[Signature illegible] Manager.
