As usual the announcement that Richard
Golden in "Old Jed Prouty" would be the
attraction at Keith's Opera House,
brought out large audience and every
seat was takon last evening.
There were probably but few there to
whom the play was not familiar, but it is
one of the genuine sort of stage pieces
that lose nothing in being often seen. 1t
ing, to see the old folks at
Bucksport again, to hear the gossip of the
village, see the children come In from
school, hear the troubfes of the old men
and become familiar again with the fire
department. Richard Golden has be-
come so familiar with his role OF the
old tavern keeper that it would
seem strange TO see him out OF it, and 1t is
that naturalness which constitutes the
chief charm OF the piece. His company Is
an excellent one. The little Lucille Leath
as Alice won the audience last night, and
when she sang or danced, or curled up in
the corner for nap, everyone watched
her and everyone Rpplauded,
William j. Gross makes up well and
acts well in the od-man part of John
Todd, the village justice of the peace, and
all the rest of the company do well in
oil their work OF entertaining.
Lothrop's Opera House.
The increasing patronage at Lothrop's
Opera House emphasizes the good judg-
ment of the new management in turning
the little playhouse into refined vsude-
vile theater. The program improves
each week.
Yesterdays performances and audiences
were no exception to the progressive rule
which has prevailed during the past three
weeks, and the program comprised some
of the best New York talent.
There were Miles and Raymond in an
original sketch, replete with singing and
"funnygraphs" and introducing Eddie
Miles laughing song.
Celeste does some slack wire work that
Dave Genaro, q change artist of merit, Ia
good in songs and clogs.
ftU tcruys perform r German specfnfty
called "Disguised," and bring down the
house with their sayings, songs and
dances.
contortionist in the world, apparently de-
serves the title.
Webster and Conlon are renowned for
rough Irish songs and dances.
Professor Burkes dog circus is n great
attraction. There are dog circuses and
and there are others and this is one
of the best Of the Others. The
four-footed beings indulge in tumbling,
dancing, somersaults and boxing in an
almost human manner. There is a stand
ing challenge of 1900 TO produce their
equals.
Mackie and Walker, the autocrats of
mimicry, produce their original character
creations In most mirth- provoking way,
and the entertainment concludes with
delightful farce called "Thc Hotel Around
the Corner"
There will he three performances on
Thanksgiving Day, the morning perform
ance to begin at 10 O'Clock; doors open at
$3.50 a. m. Ten cents will admit TO any
part OF the house in the morning.
Westminster Theater.
The Westminster Theater was filed to
It's utmost capacity yesterday afternoon
and evening when Weber and Fields and
their company OF first-class artists were
accorded hearty welcome. The per-
formsnce began with semi
athletic sketch by Castillot and
Hall, Miss Hall being an excellent
vocalist, and Mr.. Castillet an accom-
plished performer on the horizontal bars. |
They were followed by Fake and Semons
in musical turn; John 4. Drew, an Irish
comedian; Weber and Fields in an anus
ing rough and tum BILE sketch; Lottie GIL
son, who II known as the Little
Magnet" in a number OF popular selec-
tions; Mcintyre and Heath in an old
Southern sketch, and these old timers re-
ceived hearty Welcome, and were as en-
tertsining as of old James Il. Hoey, the
recitstive comedian, who In bis own Pc
culiar style furnished lots OF amusement.
A funny sketch in which Mcintyre and
Heath took the leading parts, and were as
sisted by all the &C omedians of the company.

ment of an entertainment that had many
excellent features. The show concluded
with singing by Miss Annie Hart, a
charming vocalist. This program will be
given every afternoon and evening during
