The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1901-02-12

A comedy, a musical farce and dozen
expert laughmakers are some of the at
tractive features promised patrons OF
Keith's, Philadelphia, this week, the per-
Torrance being described as the funniest
of the year. The head-liner is "Flinders
Furnished Flat" interpreted by Willard
Simms, Aimee Angeles & Company,
which is said to have scored decided hit
elsewhere. Mr.. Simms has hitherto
amused Keithites and Aimee Angeles has
been one of the beauties of Weber &
| Fields stock company. ''The Opera" a
descriptive song from ''FiddIe-de-Dee. as
done at Weber and Fields by Lillian Rus
sell and De Wolf Hopper, winds up their
act. Others who will serve as laugh
makers include Binus aud Bians, the
musical comedy performers; Ray L. Royce,
| the popular monologuist, who will have
much new material; Hal Davis and Inez
Macauley, who will be seen for the first
time here in Will M Cressy's latest
comedy, "One Christmas Eve" Johnson,
the minstrel, and Frank and Don. The
popularity of the "Girl With the Auburn
Hair is evinced by the fact that another
week has been added to her engagement
Other frst-rate singers in the bill are
Franceli and Lewis. Alcide Capitaine
is said to have no superior in any circus on
the trapeze; Genato and Bailey constitute
one of the boards; the four Juggling John
sons will again bewilder the spectators by
their Indian club manipulation. Brothers
Damn are amusing acrobats, and Reeds
bull terriers are said to perform tricks
never before attempted by CANNES. The
vaulting from high platform, the bag
punching "act" by two pugnacious bull
dogs, and the difficult somersaulting are
II L
these canine actors.
The engagement of Mary Mannering in
Janice Meredith at Wallacks theatre will
positively come to an end Saturday even
ing, February 2sd. But two weeks remain
therefore, of the most successful and i'm
portant run played in New York this
season-a run that has most firmly estab-
lished Miss Mannering as a metropolitan
star of high standing and given her place
among the most prominent attractions on
the American stage. A special matinee
performance will be presented Washing
toms Birthday, February 22d. Seats are
now on sale for all remaining performances
and may be ordered by mail accompanied
by remittance.
Manager Nirdlinger, of the Park The
atre, Philadelphia announces for the COM
ing week an attraction that. while new to
that city, has been so we'll spoken of in
other places that we feel, upon seeing the
announcements, that we are to behold an
old friend. The Park has certainly struck
the popular chord in its appeal to the
lovers of high-class amusement at reason
able prices, and the clientele of that
house is superior to that of any popular
price theatre in America. 1t is truly draw
ing an element of the most select of the
city's theatre-goers. One of the strongest
incentives to the Parks success, aside
from the careful effort to please each and
every one in attendance, is the fact TIL
the prices charged at the downtown thea
tres exclude the man of nl1 lerate m cans,
who can visit this favorite family theatre |
with his family weekly at nominal figure
the price of one seat at the higher priced |
theatres The Might Before Christmas"
will be presented next Monday evening !
1t is beautiful pastoral drama There is
the country farm house the hayward son
trying to reform, the false accusation of |
murder, thrilling court scene in which |
the judge who pronounces the sentence is |
father of the criminal. The latter is not |
executed, however, as he is found to be
innocent at the right moment.
