Monday next, May 6, will begin the
last week OF the season at B. #. Keiths
Opera House, and the closing attraction
is certainly q strong one, in fact, perhaps
the strongest that could be offered at this
period. 1t Is that admittedly first class
farce comedy, Charles II. Hoyt's
IA Temperance Town." which
will be presented for the first
time to Providence audiences at popular
prices when IL opens Mt Keith's next Mon
day night. ga Temperance Town" has
been seen in this city before ut a hig her.
priced theater, and even though now to
be offered at materially reduced rates, the
price and the company are in no way in
ferior As matter Of fact it
is the same excellent company
that finished fortnight at the
Park Theatre, Boston, q week ago, where
they drew large audiences with prices at
$3.50 seat. "A Temp erance Town" has
been received in every large city with
perhaps greater favor than Mr.. Hoyt's
previous efforts, and surely that is say
. great deal.
"a Temperance Town" is satire on
prohibition, and yet so happily
has the author written that IL
pleases the temperance advocate a.
well 10 IL does the "rum crowd"
The author seems never to have lost
sight Of the fact that in every audience
there are temperance people. SO ingeni-
GUS is the plot, so happy the dialogue, that
every one is pleased, can laugh at the, fun
and applaud the sentiment. The author
does not attempt TO preach q sermons
but as the question is presented in a
merry, eatirical vein, the result il
one of the most entertaining comedies
that has ever been presented on an Amer
ican stage. The cast Is the best that has
been seen In > Hoyt company. Mr.. l.. b.
6tockwell, who plays the part of "Mink"
Jones. the lazy, good for nothing. good
nstured town .drunkard, is q comedian
who has been starring for several years,
and who at one time was regning
favorite In San Francisco. Mr..
Lee Harrison, another bright come
dian, plays "Bingo" while such ar
lists rs Mr.. Richard Dillon, Mr.. w. III.
Currie, Miss Anna Robinson, Miss Marie
Uart and Gertrude DAVIS, all OF reputa-
tion, will present the other characters.
The scenery, costumes and mechanical
effects will DO in every respect identical
with the New York production.

The season Just about 10 close at
keiths Opera House has been one OF the
best in years and, at that, the current
season in theatricals, generally speaking,
has been wofully unsatisfactory. That SO
much substantial success has attended
Keith's this year is due to the admir-
able manner in which the bookings
were made by general manager Albee OF
b. +. Keith's amusement enterprises. Ii
has been an uncommonly strong season
in the point of attractions at Keith's as
witness the productions of "Humanity,"
Cotton King" Eugene Tompkins'
"Black Crook, ,""In Old Kentucky" and
now "a Temperance Town" IL Mr..
Albee manages to book the approaching
season as we'll as he did this one, the
Providence public will reap rich harvest
in the way of seeing all the first-class
shows at the popular Keith prices.
Recently a single act play, dealing with
the social problem, entitled, "A Broken
Potsherd," was presented in New
York in company with other
productions of young authors, and
Mr.. Brownell's effort easily surpassed all
his associates. "A Broken Potsherd"
was considered a work OF art.
Mr.. j. +. Fynes, resident manager OF
Keith's, will be located at the new beautl-
ful Keith fheater, Boston, for the next
three months, pending the absence OF Mr..
Albee ana resident manager Paul Keith
OF the new theater in Europe.
Following "The Plunger" the attrac-
tion at Irow BRIDGES Star Theater will be
Oliver Dowd Byron's 1900 Miles Away"
Other attractions that have been booked
for production at this house in the near
future are "Octoroon" and "Storm
Beaten"
lby will be a strong attraction at
the Providence Opera House for three
performances, beginning May 49,

bered as a bright reporter on one OF the |
city papers, and who is now editor of |
