TT 49, The Yuletide offering of
K eth & Keith's Theatre is one of
49, ~ the most inviting of the
season at that popular house, including,
as it does, some brilliant stars and carry
ing more "big'' acts and more comedy
turns than does the average miscellaneous
bill. Rudinof, who heads the bill, is per-
haps the greatest artist in his line on any
stage. He has recently, it is announced,
concluded an engagement of thlrty-slx
consecutive weeks in London music halls,
where his performance was the talk of the
town, and yesterday he began tour of
America Whether he is drawing his won
derful and we'll studied pictures in smoke;
whether be is thrilling his audience with
his delightful and marvelously rendered
Nightingale Opera; whether he is singing
his chansons in every European tongue or
producing spontaneous and unrestrained
laughter by his grotesque and original
shadows, the novelty is always apparent.
Another headliner is the Gainsborough
Octet, which was seen for the first time in
Philadelphia yesterday. 1t is said to be
the best act suggested by the "Florodora"
sextet idea. Melville and Stetson do one
of the most delightful acts in vaudeville
and have a host of friends. The Three
Meers also provoke incessant laughter for
a half hour. Harry Towards comedy
ponies, monkeys and dogs; Whitney Bro
theirs, instrumental music; Brannan and
Martini, magic and comedy; the biograph
and half dozen other acts are also in
cluded in a show On Christmas Day the
performance will last from $50 A. M. to
$50 P M.
~ 81 A happy New Year we'll
XONN begun is a very good
deed mighty we'll done.
This is a transposition of an old familiar
adage, but is one that is, nevertheless, true
of the attraction Manager Fred @. Nixon
Nirdlinger has secured for the premiere of
1902 at the popular Park Theatre, now
Philadelphia's favorite family re sort, made
famous by a high standard of attractions
and fixed priced that never change. What
is we'll begun is half done, and what better
beginning could there be for the New Year
than a visit to that best of all modern
plays, THE Sign of the Gross, which is
too well known to theatre-goer of every
city in America to require further intro
duction. This is the play that made the
initiative step between the theatre and the
church. This is the play that was con-
demned at first, only to be lauded and
praised by all who saw 1t. This is the
first play that was ever put forth from the
pulpit as being one worthy of the attend
ance of every churchgoer of every creed.
1t is play that is instructive as well as
good. 1t has been seen already for two
weeks this season, but this engagement for
one week only, of ten performances, six
nights and four matinees, Tuesday, We'd
nesday, Thursday and Saturday, will be
its positively last production in Philadel-
phia, and as special feature of its closing
days in this city, Manager Nirdlinger has
arranged for the appearance of the origi-
nal Marcus Superbus, Mr.. Charles Dalton.
who will be supported by William Greets,
famous London Lyric Theatre Company.
Mr.. Dalton has been starring this season
in the Helmet of Navarro but owing to
the burning of theatre in the West has
been compelled to close his engagement
three weeks earlier, during which time he
will be seen in his old familiar role in
Wilson Barrett's popular drama.
