KEITH'S

KEfTH,S A show no less valuable
than those that have for
months attracted audiences that have
tested the capacity of the theatre is an
nounced for the current week at Keith's.
Heading the program are the Four Rianos,
whose acrobatic comedy will be seen for
the first time in Philadelphia tomorrow.
Second place on the bill is assigned to AL
Bellman and Lottie Moore, in Chester s
Promise musical comedy than which
nothing more enjoyable is to be seen in
vaudeville. Both players are admirable
vocalists. Josephine Sabel, the American
chanteuse, one of the most popular voca-
lists in variety, will be another drawing
card. Another headline act is the four
Cuftys, which Manager Keith has declared
is Americas greatest musical act. They
play upon variety ofinstruments. After
lengthy tour in Europe the DeCourcy
brothers, acrobats, will begin a new
American season tomorrow afternoon
The fourth ''headliner" is James Rich
mond Glenroy, THE Man with Green
Gloves" whose budget of stories invari-
ably convulses an audience for twenty
minutes. Others in this program include
Henderson and Ross, in a laughable &C.
centric comedy sketch, introducing Mr..
.
Lester and Anger, a team of Philadelphia
performers; Harry B. Lester, a new
monologist, whose work in Keith's, New
York, last week was received with de-
cided favor; Chameroy and Donozetti, a
team of acrobats; Clifford and Hall, in a
comedy and singing sketch; Lawrence

c+~oo+ great company, headed by
otISCI Francis Wilson presenting
George Edwardes' London Gaiety Theatre
success, 1.-THE Toreador," will begin an
engagement at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, Monday, September
az. ''The Toreador" is musical comedy
presented in two acts with scenes which
represent a flower store in the Grand
Hotel, Biarritz, France. and the plaza OF
the town of Villava in Spain. 1t was first
produced at the Gaiety Theatre in London
June, 1901, and has held the stage at that
house since that time, proving the greatest
hit of all the famous George Edwardes'
efforts. The praise the piece and com
pany received at that time of its New
York premiere, and the extraordinary at
tendance it attracted for FIVE months in
dictate that it will surpass the unusual
record for receipts made by its English
original.
Francis Wilson plays the part of Sammy
Gigg, an English footman, sometimes
called tiger" This role gives him the
best opportunities of his entire stage
career for the display of that marvellous
talent as a laugh-maker which has made
him so famous. Through answering the
advertisement of an animal dealer who
desires to secure real tiger to pit against
bull-fghter, little Gigg becomes involved
in a series of humorous complications
which carry him to Spain, where, despite
his protests, he is received as Carajolo, the
champion bull-fghter, and finds himself
in position where he is expected to fight
six wild bulls and lead a Carlist revolution
of the most sanguinary character. Mr..
Wilson's Interpretation of the cemic con-
sternation of Gigg in this dilemma is in
describably funny.
The music presents wide selection oil
very fascinating airs. Mr.. Wilson has
never been surrounded by stronger com.
pany, including such widely known
players as Christie Macdonald, Joseph
Coyne, Carolyn Gordon, William Brode-
rick, Clara Belle Jerome, Melville Ellis,
Miriam Lawrence, William Blaisdell
Nora Cecil, Robert A. Evans, and
chorus of one hundred.
