WHICH MS HdIUe has Recently DeeH So
successfully associated. The play was
first produced three weeks ago and

Latter day vaudeville presents a pc
culiar problem. Patrons of vaudeville
theatres, today, demand specialties of
the most pronounced character. They
want novel amusement rather than
conventional comedy, and they turn up
their noses at strictly comedy sketches

cessfully by the Boston Music Hall
management in the past few months
and there has been little complaint
of dull or one-sided entertainment at
that popular theatre. Musical. aero
batic and miscellaneous novelties have
followed one another rapidly and the
end is not yet. Next week the book
ings already made include a number
of distinctive and enjoyable special
ties. Chief among these will be the
Probyn Ladies' Quartette, which comes
to Boston direct from London, where
| it's vogue has been something amazing.
| The quartet consists of four talented
| young women and the instruments on
which they play are piano, flute, cor
net and cello. They give chamber con-
| certs which should appeal to the aver

| ensemble selections
