for this week at Keith's
chestnut new Chestnut street The
atre gives every promise of being one Of
strongest and most entertaining that has |
ever been offered in Philadelphia. There |
are no less than seven headline" acts in
the aggregation of talent engaged. Per-
haps the foremost of these is the now ia
nous Fadette Women's Orchestra, which
has already won unqualified favor at this
house. The return en- gagement is said to
be the result of numerous requests from
patrons who enjoyed the exquisite work
of this organization recently. Another
act of more than average interest is Leon
Morris educated ponies. This act is said
to be one of the best of its kind in the
country, the little equines being so highly
trained that they do feats which are little
short of human. The Holloway Trio OF
wire performers, after tour of the con-
tinent, lasting five years, will return to
display the latest bits of daring IN their
line, and are said to do feats that are both
daring and thrilling. Cushman, Ho,
combe and Curtis will offer a lively COM
edy sketch, with plenty of good music,
entitled "a Winter Session." John Kern
ell, the Celtic wit; Geyer and DAILY, eccen-
trio dancers Leona Thurber and her troop
of picannies: w. H. Murphy and Blanche
Nichols, in a comedy sketch; Clarence E.
Billings, Yankee monologue artist; Ger
man and Lawson, singers and dancers;

Tom Almond, the Australian long shoe
dancer; Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart Darrow,
smoke and sand pictures and shadow
graphs; Susie Fisher, female baritone and

Keith'S Quite a surprise is sprung on
D:. the theatre-going public by
DlJOu Mr.. Keith, who announces that
beginning yesterday the scale of prices at
! his Bijou Theatre will be reduced to re-
J markably low figures. This does not
mean that the quality of the productions
will in any sense be lessened. When one
considers the value of the plays to be
given and the strength of the organization,
together with the unheard of prices for
such company and such plays, there will
{ doubtless be much speculation as to how
profit could be earned That, however
is the business of the management and
the public is the gamer. The scale Of
] prices is: Orchestra, 80 cents; balcony, 20
second balcony, 10; lower box seats rs and
upper box seats so cents each. The play
for this week will be ''The Lost Paradise, >
which has already won favor in this city
/ Its story concerns the labor problem, aud
it is full of powerful situations, with q
generous sprinkling of unctuous comedy
e lines and climaxes that provoke enthusi
! astic applause, The characters are such
as one expects to find in real life and the
action is not exaggerated as is the case in
the usual melodrama. The full strength
e of the stock company will be utilized anC
the surroundings will be elaborate and &C
curate.
