lkEtIH'G There has probably
never been single feature
in vaudeville which has enjoyed as long
success as the scenic musical act which
bears the title of 1.-THE Girl With the Au-
burn Hair" Since the first appearance of
this unnamed singer, several seasons ago,
up to the present time, the act has been
continuously on the boards and with no
apparent diminution of its popular appeal
This week 1.-THE Girl" is to return to her
multitude of local admirers at Keith's. and
no doubt she will receive royal welcome
The act is said to have recently been con-
siderably amplifed, while the vocalist is
likewise declared to have noticeablv i'm
proved in her art But this one feature
will not be the only noteworthy Keith Of
fering this week, for we are to have those
clever players, Will M. Cressy and Blanche
Dayne, IN new farce, entitled 'tGrasping
an Opportunity" York and Adams, two of
the funniest of the Hebrew character por-
trayers on the vaudeville stage; Coleman S
trained cats and dogs, who scored strongly
last week; Harding and All Sid, the conf
cal ''clown and Chinaman;" Mile. Give
juegler; Harry and Sadie Fields, in charac-
ter farce; Lynn Welcher, monologuist;
Baker and Conn, in 'Hibernianisms;'
Ruschell and Tillyne, eccentric dancers,
and Wellman, magician. The entertain
ment thus gives promise Of fully main
tanning the usual high standards set at this
home of the continuous.
Messenger THE Messenger Boy
entered upon the fare
boy we'll fortnight of its
merry reign at the Chestnut Street Theatre
last evening. This jolly piece has for the
past three weeks met with a series of
crowded houses, which have been excel
lent proof of the good things in the show,
and that the many specialties given by the
clever principals are of the taking quality
Many have returned to see "The Messen-
ger Boy' twice and even three times, to
laugh at Jimmie Powers in his comical
songs and May Robson in her two original
specialties, or to applaud the extraordinary
agi ity and unique dancing supplied by
Me,;srs. Kelly and Kennedy. Another
element which has been responsible to a
great degree for the success of this sumpt-
nous production is the snap and sprightli-
nes; with which the performance is given
from beginning to end. When Mr.. Pow
ers or some of his able assistants in Gre
ating the fun are not keeping their hear
ers in merriment the chorus is maintain
ing the lively character of the entertain
meflt in very capable style. Messrs. Nixon
and Zimmerman have arranged, at the re-
quest of Rich & Harris, managers of the
Hollis Street Theatre, Boston, to move the
company to Boston for a summer run at
the close of their engagement at the Chest
nut.
David 1t is again the same story
IL of large audiences and pop
IlaTuIIi ular success at the Chestnut
Street Opera House, where William H.
Crane and that well-known American citi-
zen, David Harum," began the fourth
week of their stay last night. This play,
exploiting the traits in the character ofthe
country banker drawn by Wescott, has
scored a success in Philadelphia Thus
far Mr.. Cranes engagement has been one
of the most successful be has ever known
