Something new under the vaudeville
sun is the promise made by Manager
Keith that will surprise theatre-goers, for
if had seemed that the miscellaneous en-
tertainment had already gathered almost
every novelty of an entertaining character
in existence. Mathematicians, scientific
men, doctors and teachers will likely
make Keith's their rendezvous this week
to witness the remarkable achievements
of Inaudi, whose memory for figures and
ability in mental mathematics are said to
be truly phenomenal. Inaudi's eight
Mug" calculating is said to be absolutely
! unique and of sort which makes his APP
pellation of 'the man with two brains"
quite an apt one. In addition to this
card the entertainment embraces the
most popular vocalist in vaudeville, one
of the funniest monologists on the boards;
Art Studies" that have during ten weeks
attracted thousands of people, together
with the usual array of varied specialties,
amongst which mirth and melody pre-
dominate Katherine Bloodgood will
| doubtless be given an ovation; her former
engagement was marked for three conse-
! cutive weeks by audiences that tested the
capacity of the house. Nat M. Wills is
credited with e1iciting more laughter i'll
thirty minutes than has any other
comedian in America. His present bud
get of songs and jokes is said to be the
most amusing he has ever offered, and the
auditors will unquestionably be convulsed
| by his act. The living art studies, which
| will begin their tenth week sixth Of
their present rum yesterday afternoon,
are increasing in popularity, standing
room only having been the rule since
their run began. psyche Before the
| Throne of Venus" which created a SEN
sation the past week, is to be continued,
and there are a half-dozen reproductions
in which children are the posers. Al Bell
man and Lottie Moore, who interpret
"Hester's Promise" are said to be among
the foremost vocalists in variety. Another
above the average vocal turn is 'The Fire
Chief" which will be rendered by quin-
tet, headed by Joseph Maxwell, who has
hitherto been identified with illustrated
songs instrumental music will be furn-
ished by Mallory Bros. and Brooks, Rita
Mario violinists; Fred Stuber, banjoist,
and Miss MacBride, fine pianist.
Paul Kester's dramatization of Charles
Majors widely read romantic novel,
when Knighthood Was IN Flower, "
j with Julia Marlowe l. the role OF the
ze-distraught Tudor princess, Mary,
was given its local premiere at the Broad
last evening. L MS pay COiSS "
delphia with high acclaim, and in the role
of the Duchess Queen, Mary Tudor, Miss
Mar1owe is credited with scoring one of
her greatest successes The story concerns
the love of Mary for the commoner,
Charles Brandon, and of the many adj
ventures each meets with before the final
happy elimination of their romance.
Mary Tudor was the second daughter of
Henry VII and sister of Henry VIII. The
latter compels his sister to form an alliance
with the King of France, but her heart is
given to Charles Brandon and after many
exciting episodes she and he are happily
married and Henry gives Brandon title.
The comedy, and the more serious ele-
ments are about evenly divided in the
play, hence Miss Marlowe has opportunity
for the exploitation of her talents both as
coincidence and as an emotional actress
The play is in four acts, the last being di-
vided into two scenes. In the first act is
shown Mav-day fete in Windsor Park,
act two depicts the escape of Brandon and
Mary from Bridewell House, act three
shows their recapture and the preceding
fight at the Bow and String Tavern, Bris-
toll; act four shows the death OF the in
firm King of France at the BAH in the
Palais DIES Tournelles, Paris, and the final
reconciliation scene between King Henry
and his sister at G.eenwch Palace, Eng
land The time is SIS 1874, giving scope
for picturesque scenery and costumes.
Following Miss Coghlan's one week at
We Park Theatre, Philadelphia Lost
River" Jos, Arthur's quaint pastoral
melodrama will hold forth for week.
There is scene depicting a typical
Hoosier farm i'll Joseph Arthur's pastoral
melodrama, Lost River, and the amount
Of live stock employed is surprising. A
herd of sheep, cows poultry, bee hives
and three thoroughbred horses are part
These horses are used in the ride for life
of the little heroine mounted on fine
racer and pursued by two rufhans who
scheme to rob her To accustom them tc
their work, the horses were taken daily tc
the theatre at rehearsals, and there at
tended by grooms were kept standing ON
the stage as the company went through
the play They were led to the footlight'
and allowed to look over into the orches
ira and boxes until the view had lost it
novelty to them, Lights we're flashed
