Keith'S

Keith'S The New Year will be ush-
chae+r,,4 cred in at Keith's Chestnut
Street Theatre with a big
array of attractive vaudeville features.
To please the children, who are now hav-
ing short vacation, Winscherman's Per-
forming Bears have been engaged There
are but two troupes of performing bears
now i'll this country, and Winscherman's
are considered the best To interest the
adults there are many acts worthy of men
ton. First may be mentioned that we'll
known and popular favorite, Lillian Burk-
hart, who will present sketch entitled
"Jessie's Jack and Jerry" which is con-
sidered as good as any sketch now on the
vaudeville stage. York and Adams will
amuse with their Hebrew limitations, and
Mathews and Harris will present that
screaming conceit credited to Will M.
Cressy, entitled "Adam the Second,
Jack North will amuse with blaek-face
monologue sketch, and, as he always
brings new, up-to-date, crisp talk, he is
sure to make himself popular. Louise
Dresser presents an illustrated song act
that stands in class by ITSELF 1t is the
most ridiculous thing imaginable, for the
pictures thrown on the screen serve to
make pathetic song a screaming farce.
For instance, when 'Nellie Left Home
One Day." the spectator is almost sure to
see Nellie rising in the air, assisted by a
key of giant powder. Others on the bill
are Coture and DeVoe, acrobatic COM
edians; the Paloma Ladies' Quartet;
Clifford and Hall, singing and dancing
sketch; Belmont and O'Brien, eccentric
comedy; Orville and Frank, acrobats;
Seona. in representations of famous men;
Rastus and Banks real colored act, and
n he fr1f 6o h1rei
special attraction for New Years week the
Freydo Bros, the famous French hand
balancers, who appeared at Keith's last
week for the first time in this country,
have been retained Marvellous is the
only word that fttingly describes their
doings.
Beauty and "The Sleeping Beauty
+ha paoe4 and the Beast" is an all
e"e e0Se conquering holiday attrac-
ton at the Chestnut Street Opera House.
The influx of country visitors last week
mounted into the thousands and there
was chorus of universal admiration and
praise for all the wonders of gorgeous
spectacle; the splendid harmonies in sound
and colors The remaining opportunities
for seeing Klaw and Erlanger's resplen-
dent production of the big Drury Lane
spectacle with all its brilliant features of
extravaganza and grand ballets are few,
beginning last night there being only
eighteen more nights and seven more
matinees, an extra matinee being an
nounced for New Years Day, and seats
can be secured for all these performances.
In reviewing the enormous success of
THE Sleeping Beauty and the Beast"
emphasis can be given to the oft repeated
statement that nothing SO magnificent in
its panorama of gorgeous scenes and
massive ensembles of everchanging colors
has ever been seen here to compare with
the elaborate beauties of this enhancing
spectacular attraction. It's entertainment
in comedy, song and ballet is also of the
most clever and elaborate description.
Beginning last night, will be the last three
weeks of 'The Sleeping Beauty and the
Beast in Philadelphia. At the end of
the engagement here the big spectacle
will be staged for two weeks at the
National Theatre, Washington, and after
its season in the Capital, will be trans
ferred for an indefinite run to Boston, after
which it will be returned to the Drury
Lane Theatre, London.
