what high-class vaudeville was. once
or twice each year at his old theatre,
he had presented bill of this charac-
ter: but these occasional glimpses serv-
ed but inadequately To afford an under
standing OF the subject. Even now, To-
cal theatre -goers, great as has been the
revelation and the surprise at finding
that .n these entertainments one sees
fully as high standard OF artistic mer-
ii as is found in any of the star" dra-
matte productions at the so-called "le-
gitimate drama" theatres those who
attend each week find themselves each
time more charmed with the "continu-
Gus performance" idea and more de-
lighted with the great excellence of the
performances.
There is a decided satisfaction in
knowing that precisely the same great
artists appear here as at Mr.. Keith s

houses; and IL is not surprising that the
community finds in this fact as well
as in the possession of a theatre which
for beauty and magnificance is equalled
by only one in this country, and that
Mr.. keith's Boston house occasion for
pride that fines expression in the hearty
support given, support that has made

and surpassing even the record of Mr..
