Theatres.
KFlTH'S The customary attrac-
a - tive vaudeville program
is the announcement at Keith's. The
array of little plays and comediettas is
unusually rich in promise. Among the
features in this way are Lydia Barry and
George Felix who do their novel and
amusing vaudeville Craze" Clayton
White, Marie Stuart and company present
the enjoyable sketch, "Dickie." Sam
Ryan and Tom Lewis will contribute to
the entertainment with s'The Two Actors.
Harrigan, the tramp juggler, is Away a
welcome visitor here. Edythe Welles is
said to be possessed of uncommon gifts as
vocalist, and Maud Nugent has won de
served prominence for her excellent per-
Torrance of comic and character songs.
The Deonzo brothers have no superiors as
barrel jumpers and opponents of other cd
dities in acrobatics. Ellwood, the comic
conjurer, offers lot that is new in this
line and does it in very funny way.
Those interested in music will doubtless
be pleased with Karsy's Myriophon, and
the musical specialties of the Craigs have
also been highly commended. The Ber-
nards in song and dance, the travel pictures
and the moving scenes of the biograph are
remaining part of the bill likely to be
found satisfactory.
WAY DOWN EAST Villa William a., A
borate production of 'Way Down East,
the best known and the best liked of rural
plays, came to The Chestnut Street The
atre, Philadelphia, on Monday even
ing, March sd, for an engagement of three
weeks. This famous play has to its credit
remarkable run Of $50 performances in
No. o,,I ,-o1.~ r
200 performances in Boston and mother of
1872 performances in Chicago. In this
vicinity it will be remembered for its
wholesomeness, humanness and stirring
dramatic qualities. 1t tells the moving
story of girl whose blameless but unfor-
tunate past is discovered by the head of
the household in which she has taken re-
fuge, and of the manner in which the
sturdy son of the family brings her back to
warmth and life and love after his father
has turned her out in a driving snowstorm
This snowstorm is capitally produced on
the stage. and each of the characters men
toned is drawn with marvellous fidelity to
nature. Hi Holler, Martha Perkins, Prof
Sterling, Constable Whipple and Seth
Holcomb will be recalled as the humorous
people of the piece. The presenting COM
pany is headed by Phoebe Davies and the
production is very beautiful
Under Southern Skies . After
able patient Flooding and earnest effort"
said the New York Mail and express recent |
ly Grace George has achieved what, even
from the somewhat sordid view point of
those persons who measure the worth of |
production by the line in front of the box
Office, is genuine success. Hencefoward |
she must be ranked among the most pro-
minent, as hitherto she had been among
the most promising, of women stars
The play which helped Miss George to this
position and which inspired this CT ticism
is to be presented by her on March 10 and
for fortnight thereafter at the Walnut
Street Theatre, Philadelphia 1t is BY the
Author of WAY Down East" aud bears
the rather poetic title, Under Southern
Skies" The Mail and Express commenda-
ton was endorsed by metropolitan amuse-
ment lovers in manner that kept Miss
George at the Theatre Republic until late
in January. Under Southern Skies is
not rural drama, though it possesses two
of the boosted qualities of that sort of en-
tertainment, cleanness of theme and dialo-
que and fidelity to nature. The period of
the play is 1875 and the locale Louisiana,
both combining to afford readily discerni-
BILE elements of the picturesque.
William A. Brady has furnished a dis
tinguished supporting company, and
lavish production. Seats for the engage
ment go on sale next Tuesday morning.
~ \f There is one season of
the beginning of the
Lenten Holidays and Eastertide, where the
patrons of all theatres require a certain
novelty or diversion to attract their atten-
ton, and Manager Fred G. Nixon-N irdlin-
ger, of the Park Theatre, is endeavoring
with great success to supply that novelty
and diversion and offers for the next few
weeks all the styles and varieties of en-
tertainment the theatrical world affords /
with the exception of light opera.
After series of serious plays we are to
be launched next week into a week of |
minstrelsy Minstrelsy is not new to Phil
adelphia, but it is new in the style in
which We Park will mete it out next week
Minstrelsy as it is and should be to-day is
probably best illustrated by that illustrious
and prolific producer, William H. |
West, who for many years has been look
ed upon as the greatest exponent of all |
that is big, new and novel in tine minstrel |
world. He has Sc the pace for ali others.
He has conceived probably more great
acts than any other minstrel performer or
proprietor. All the big expensive acts,
all the greatest and highest salaried sin
gers, all the original and ginger come
dams can surely be found under the West |
banner. Mr. West has organized for this |
season what is claimed to be the best min
strel organization it has ever been his
proud distinction to be connected with |
1t includes thirty or more leading artists |
and several features in an olio of superior |
merit any one OF which would be regarded |
as sufficiently strong to be the whole |
show" with some other organization. The |
West performances have always been re-
garded particularly inviting from a must
cal standpoint.
