heart of the shopping district of Philadel-
phia, IS the most popular resting place for
tired Christmas shopper just nowl It's
only FIVE minutes walk from the Reading
Terminal or Broad Street Stations and IS
within two minutes walk of Wanna
makers.
Matinee days are not always the DAYS
which the shoppers can select for their
trips to the city. For this very reason
Keith's has always held out peculiar in
ducements to this class of visitors, because
of the fact that every day is a matinee
day at the continued Performance house.
Keith's is theatre for ladies and chill
dren. Its dainty appointed apartments,
in which one is permitted an opportunity
of repairing the ravages inseparable from
contact with the throngs in the shops,
which are now crowded with Christmas
buyers. The services of def maids can be
had for the asking. Every article neces-
sary to the complete appointment of a
ladies' boudoir can be found in either of
the ladies' rooms on the three floors.

question of doubt it's the greatest show in
town. Full of comedy, lots of fun, and
you can come in and go out at any time
without knowing or caring what came be-
for or what follows. for each fifteen min
ute act is complete in itself. 1t you don't
believe it's great fun just drop in on your
next visit.
Thirty-two thousand people, we are told.
paid admission to Keith's New Chestnut
Street Theatre last week. The bill was
pronounced excellent, but not better than
will be presented this week, or the week
following.
Keith's The work Of the Keith Stock
Company thus far has earned
DIJOu the enthusiastic commentator
of all who have witnessed its perform
ances. The series of plays presented dur
ing the past four weeks for proper repre-
sentation required the services Of an or
ganization of unusual ability throughout
The plays during the month have been of
a character calculated to please all play
goers For many amusement seekers per
haps no more welcome announcement
could be made than that "a Texas Steer
is to be revived this week, for Hoyt CON
cocted no more delightful entertainment
The work of the Keith Company in the
plays of the past month gives ample as
surance that the Interpretation of "a
Texas Steer, will be thoroughly adequate
Its roles will afford fine opportunities for
the versatile players of the company
Those who have witnessed the rehearsals
declare that the production is likely to
prove the hit of the stock season at this
house All who have observed the expe.
riences of Maverick Brander, the million
aire Texas cattle raiser, sent to Congress
against his will, and his daughter, Bossy,
will doubtless be anxious to witness them
again. Brander's life in Washington, be-
sieged by the Texas type of constituent,
including some negroes, the daughters
plunge into society and the other Incl
dents of the farce comedy will doubtless
be as effective as ever.
Beauty and TO- To appropriately pr iasy,; de-

Beauty and The Beast" the big London |
Drury Lane Theatre ballet and fairy spec |
tacle imported to this country by Klaw s. |
Erlanger, and now being exhibited at the |
Chestnut Street Opera House, Philadel- |
phia, would require the services of an |
imagination like gigantic and unusually |
active kaleidoscope, connecting in addi- |
ton to its splendors, large and vigorous
infusion of chain lightning.
Surely no such magnificent or stipend |
GUS spectacle as this has ever before been |
placed under the view of an American /
audience One surprise in color, action,
grouping and general radiance follows
close upon the heels of the other. each
one rising higher than its predecessor in
lustrous refulgence until the scenes be-
come riot of pomp and show.
The end of the second act really seems
to present the very climax of stage gor-
geousness in ballet entitled "Beauty's
Awakening" supposed to represent the
four seasons of the year. Another feast
is the finish of the play showing "illumi-
mated fountains" towering high in the air,
with all the colors of the rainbow dazz-
ling brilliantly.
