Report of show playing at Keith's Theatre Providence week of December 17th, 1917.
We have an exceedingly good bill, everything in it went over in good style.
CHARLES LOVENBERG, Manager.

THE CAVANA DUO: Man an woman in a medley of singing, dancing, instumental music and wire walking; presented with an addition of comedy in a circus set. Very good act that made a hit. 12 minutes; F.S.
FRED KORNAU: Whistler;- produces very melodious tones and whistles in a musicianly manner, was well liked. 8 minutes in one.
DAN BURKE & CO: It is a long time since a dancing act made as big a hit as this one did yesterday. It is splendidly presented and the dancing is above the average. The atmosphere in which it is presented also lends considerably to its success. 21 minutes F.S.
BERT & HARRY GORDON: Comedy talking and singing act. One straight, the other Jew; very funny a big hit. 14 minutes in one.
RAYMOND BOND & CO: Mr. Bond presents a character similar to that played by Will Hodge; I like Mr. Bond better. They have a very good sketch that was well liked, and which I can recommend to anyone. 18 minutes in three.
HELEN TRIX & SISTER: A very good act of singing, piano playing and a little bit of dancing; another hit. 16 minutes in one.
A. SEYMOUR BROWN & CO: In a farce with musical interpolations. Company consists of Mr. Brown, one other man, three female principals and six chorus girls. Lots of good comedy and attractive musical numbers. They held the audience intact to the finish and pleased thoroughly. 50 minutes F.S.
