The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-09-08

ures have been sccentuated by the perfect
breathing models. IL was under the per-
sonal direction of General Manager Albee
that b. Il. Keith's Living Pictures were
arranged and produced at the new theater
in Boston, and his skill, delicacy and true
appreciation of all that Is required in fine
artistic groupings, were potent factors in
the unbounded success the pictures
achieved in the Hub.
There is nothing tawdry about the pict-
ures that will be exhibited every after
noon and evening next week. The
display represents an outlay of $4,000.
Although at the very height OF their
success in Boston, Mr.. Keith, true to his
promise TO his Providence patrons to pre-
sent the newest aud the best of his attrac
tions at the earliest date, has closed their
season there temporarily, and now offers
them to the fine disseminating and artistic
judgment of his patrons in this city.
They will be exhibited at each perform
ance next week, under exactly the same
conditions as Boston saw them, under the
personal supervision of General Manager
AIbee. Altogether there are 20 pictures in
the series, to wit: "Cupid," III. Larson;
"Home Melodies" G. Kiesel; Washing
ton Crossing the Delaware" Leutze;
Rocky Point" Castel- Bert; " Weighing
OF Love-" an idyl; AN Admirer of Art"
idyllic; "Me and Jack" idyl; "a Help
ing Hand" idyl; Music" V. Hynais;
"Polar STAR" Fabro; "Spring," e. F.
Albee; "Rock of Ages" "Cupid's
Chariot" Tojeth; "Yankee Doodle"
A. Nj. Willard; "Babies' Bath" "Lost
Chord" " Bedtime" idyl; "Birth of the
PEARL" Castel- Bert; and Defense of the
Flag"
The pictures are by no means the en-
tire show. There is q program OF aero
batic agility, burnt cork merriment and
musical mirthfuness that is far ahead
OF anything ever given in a single show
in Providence. The performers are facile
princeps in their profession. There is
none better in any of the acts and, perforce,
they are the highest salaried artists to be
secured anywhere. Among them are sew
erus Schaffer, the finest equiljbrist and Jug
gier in the world; Wood and Sheppard at
the very head OF their class as musical COM
edians Raymon Moore, tho sweetest sing
or of ballads on the boards, the author Of
"Sweet Marie; Mario aud Van Auken, ex-
tremely daring and graceful triple horizon
tai bar performers. Frank Marlo's flying
somersault is a feverish act and not
another bar performer has succeeded
in duplica ting his thrilling performance.
Mons DE Bessel the dexterous manipulation
in clay in his tightening sculpture act.
Filson and Enrol refined society sketch
artists and John and Nellie Healy in
character witticisms in black face.
The many Providence friends OF Gen.
eral Manager Albee of y. r. Keith's
amusement enterprises, have had numer-
Gus chances TO congratulate him on the
success of Mr.. Keith's theaters, as he has
given this city considerable OF his valu-
able time OF late. The spick and span APP
pcarance of n. F. Keith's Opera House is
evidence of Mr.. Albeo's tireless energy.

appear in "a Country Sport" at B. T..
Keith's Opera House, week Of Sept II.

his supporting company in Author Me-
Nallys new piece is an admirable one. IL

ranged for mstinees every day, and they
Will be found particularly convenient for
ladies and ehildrep.
