out the week.
Another leading feature, which hard
ly needs an Introduction here, Is the
act OF Mcintyre and Heath, admittedly
the two funniest black-face comedians
In vaudeville. They have not been seen
here FOR two years: but no one who
saw them then has forgotten their ire
sistibly comical absurdities. They
scored perhaps the biggest hit in one
of the special vaudeville entertainments
offered by Mr.. Keith during his regular
season, and such laughter as they pro-
voked has seldom been heard In Prov
idence playhouse. They will present
their intensely ludicrous sketch en-
titled The Georgia Minstrels." which
Is regarded as the best black-face
sketch vaudeville has produced. The
idea is very simple one; but In its
development the cleverness OF the ac-
tors themselves has found full scope:
and their droll. quiet humor fairly bub-
bles over from every line of the dia-
logue, which in itself is exceedingly
bright and witty. What Hayes and
Lyttor were TO the programme of the
past week, Mcintyre and Heath are
sure TO be during the coming week.
Helene Mora, the female baritone. has
not been heard here I'm six years. AT
that time she was presented as a spec
ial feature with one OF the leading at
fractions of the season at Keith's; and
the amphatic hit she scored will be re-
membered by many. Her remarkably
deep. sweet and powerful voice and
dramatic method are admirably adapt
ed to the singing of descriptive songs,
while she has always enjoyed high
reputation among the ladies for the
taste of her stage costumes. Her rem
dering OF THE Holy City ha- been
pronounced by the composer the best
he ever heard; and her present repcr-
tory also includes "The Moth and the
Flame" "Come Back to Erin" and
other favorites. Miss Mora's earnest
ness OF manner and forceful style con-
tributes much 10 her success; and dur
ing her present tour OF the Keith cir
cult she has won favor even greater
than that before extended to her. so
that local theatre-goers may reasonably
expect "a genuine treat.
Hilbert and Goldie have long been
known as i'm the first rank OF Irish COM
edians, whose wit is of the keenest and
whose humor is OF the drollest. and
they will offer an entirely new act
in which they have been winning sue
cess surprising any they have before
achieved.
The Wartenberg brothers. novelty
acrobats and foot tugglers, will be a
decided novelty here; but they come
with an enviable reputation won by
their clever work on the Keith circuit
In addition TO some very clever aero
batic work OF unique character, they
perform remarkable feats while lying
on their backs. Juggling large balls
with their feet. two and three at
time, and tossing them back and forth
from one TO the other in most remark
able fashion: and they are said 70
arouse great enthusiasm by the skill
they display.
