KEITH'S new THEATRE.

'Glorious Papinta," by far the greatest
of all spectacular dancers. with her mir
rors and complicated electrical devices
and her Incompatible color effects, will
head the coming weeks program at
Keith's She is one OF the few performers
in vaudeville whose own merits are such,
whose act is so unique and strong in it
self and whose personal popularity is so
great that she can return season after
season and each time win greater sue
cess than before; and probably there is
no vaudeville attraction today more popu-
lar with local audiences than this charm
ing dancer.
Papinta has added many new color and
lighting effects since last year, greatly
enhancing the beauty and novelty of her
dances; and she comes here from an en-
gagement of five weeks In New York, fol-
lowing closely after other spectacular
dancers. I'm which she achieved the great
est triumph of her career.

previously won him rounds OF applause
