Keith's Opera House.

There are thousands of persons in this
and every other city who like to look at
freaks of all sorts and individuals
that have made themselves famous
or notorious by doing something
that well balanced brains and
everyday intelligence would hardly
dream OF. This general curiosity OF the
mnsses makes IL possible for Steve
Erode and other notorious persons
20 attract great crowds to see
them. The theatrical manager has taken
advantage OF the popular inclination and
plays are plenty exploiting the feats OF
daring and reckless individuals, prize
&ghters, bad women and queer men.
No one goes TO see Brodie because he has
eomething OF Importance to offer

"Shore Acres" Mr.. James A. Herne s
remarkable exemplificstion of super-re-
fined stage business and stage art, opened
hree-nights' ana matinee engagement
at the Providence Opera House last even
ing, and it delighted large audience.
''Shore Acres" was seen here last season,
after its Introduction in Boston. Since
then it has had a big run in New York
City and it comes back to Providence with
q finish to it that makes its production as
nearly fawless as possible.
The production introduces an immense
amount of " realistic " properties; and in
deco, the real roast turkey of the second act
which exhales its appetizing perfume over
the auditorium, first made Mr.. Herne's
play popularity talked about. There are
other real things, too, numerously and
elaborately wrought into the play
writing and the unseen property
man and the stage manager are
about as important to the success
OF the piece rs the people in the cast. But
all this realistic material is manipulated
by master hand and Is not permitted to
obtrude itself unduly, seeming only to
tickle the sense because OF the elaborate
rsess OF its detail and the supreme nicely
OF its presentation.
''Shore Acres" aside from the splendid
cid afforded by the property man and the
stage manager, tells a story that is homely
and appealing, the kind of a story that
may be read with complaccnt delight the
while it commands at frequent and alter
mating intervals q tear and a laugh. AS
told by Mr.. Herne and his remark
ably well disciplined company, "Shore
Acres" Is immensely satisfying. The
skillfully drawn and strongly contrasted
characters are pictured with an artistic
finish and an admirable faithfulness of
purpose, ard, backed by handsome
scenery, the production is made
with snoothness and fineness that is
delicious indeed. Nothing better in the
way of stage art and stage finish is to be
seen in the course of season and few
plays of the day appeal so closely to the
mind and heart of all kinds and sorts OF
theater goers as Mr.. Herne's ''shore
Acres"
