HOYT'S "A BUNCH OF KEYS."-In
these days OF scenic stage realism the
author must be Il mechanic as well as
Il writer, in order to carry out perfec-
tion of effect, and in IA Bunch Of KEYS"
one sees the fruition of all this implies
There is enough realism 10 make ONE
wonder how such things can be worked
on Il stage, and they are SO natural as
10 appear almost actual The company
presenting this Skit is Il strong one and
the scenic effects are most novel and in
harmony with the text. One soon tires
oil too long drawn production of dra-
matte effort, no matter how we'll the
story is sustained. and variety is always
pleasing. Manager Bothner has secur-
ed II fine array of burlesque and novel
features in the musical and dancing line
for his Bunch of Keys" Company,
which appear al the Academy of Music
on next Monday night.
EMILY BACKNER.-On next We'd
nesday and Thursday evenings and
Thursday matinee Miss Emily Bancker
Will make her appearance i'm this city at
the. Academy of Music in "Our Flats"
and "a Divorce Csc" with her ex-
cellent comedy organization. Miss
Bancker's fame and popularity are too
we'll knownro cXpatiate upon, audit must
not be Inferred that Miss Bancker is a
stranger to the theatre goers. On the
contrary, 1t was first accorded a New
York Lyceum audience to- recognize her
abilities. Miss Bancker's triumphs in
comedy roles has stamper her all artist
of the first class. The public will re-
member her as the popular leading lady
with Miss itosina Nokes, and her asso-
citation and artistic achievements in the
four years with this charming actress
brought her into special prominence
Then came several successive trumphs
as The bright particular star in Mr.
Wilkinson's Widows" "Gloriana." etc
Miss Bancker has surrounded herself
with n company which in itself stamps
the attraction as one of merit, without
doubt the strongest support ever nc-
cumuated for a star.
