NOTES FROM KEITH'S.

The receptions given by several mem
bers of the Albee stock company have
proved so popular. and the desire to meet
the individual members OF the company
has been so often and so generally ex-
pressed by theatre-goers that the MEM
bers OF the company have decided 10 unite
in giving a reception to the public on Fri
day afternoon OF this week after the
performance at Keiths. The reception
will be held upon the stage. and every
member or the company Will participate.
While they are making the necessary
change OF costume after the performance,
complete change OF scene will be made
upon the stage, affording a most novel
and interesting insight into the mysteries
of behind the scenes" and ice cream
will be served to all and cut flowers will
be presented To the ladies by the gentle
men OF the company.
Next weeks attraction at Keith's Is one
that will appeal very strongly to all tastes
among playgoers. THE Lost Paradise"
