Keith's Theatre.

The historians occupation is gone.
The Biograph has taken his place. Never
in the history OF vaudeville has any
device been SO popular as is the Bio
graph For sixty weeks it has been eX-
hibited at Keith's Theatre, and rarely
has any weeks offerings included more
attractive card. Judging by the en-
thusiasm provoked by its living pictures
the past week, there is no more popular
sort OF entertainment.
Beginning with the wreck of the
Maine, it has furnished the best history
Of the wars incidents, the ships on bJth
sides, and the men, including Captain
Sigshee and President Mckinley. A
ski'mish fight in Cuba is its latest
achievement, and phlladclphians wildly
applauded the work If our soldiers last
week.
In this picture the bravery of oar men
is demonstrated. They are seer running
and when all hands fire, Il cloud Of smoke
hides the fighters from view. Spectators
not only see but hear, for there are many
guns fred behind lie scenes during this
exhibition. The most pathetic scene
ever displayed in the history OF the war
is the wreck of the Maine. When PEG.
pie recall that what is left of the ship
marks the grave of 2G6 men, a lump
comes in many Threats. There is no
applause until they discern that the
Flag is still there. This flag, how
ever, is ifeess.
The new views to be displayed to-
morrow are the Minneapolis, fastest
cruiser in TIE world;a cavalry charge
by the 3rd L. 5. Cavalry and bareback
riding by members OF Troop f. 9Th L. s.
Cavalry. Another new picture shows the
primitive fire apparatus used in Havana.
Other films to be exhibited are the
launch of the Kentucky, Fitzhugh Lee
leaving Havana, President Mckinley and
the Royal Canadian Artillery marching
on snowshoes. The latter picture ELECTS
laughter.
