The Keith bill for the coming week will
be notable for the presentation for the
irst time outside OF Boston OF the big
spectacular production which for six
weeks past has proved the greatest vau-

This great production. which is known as
"The Pageant OF Nations and Red Hus-

the Keith circuit and enlists the services
OF 50 attractive young ladies', who have

tricate marching movements, allegorical
tableaus, novel dances and military evo-
lutions scenes or Kaleidoscope beauty

very much the habit of the lackberry,
but its fruit resembles to some extent
the dewberry. There is the same bloom,
but the number of fruitlets is greater.
Most important is the time of fruiting,
for it comes into bearing as the rasp.
berries are falling and before the black
berries are ripe. The Mahdi is very pro.

a decorative plant. The plants have
