circuit of vaudeville houses.

Bludso," which has just closed a remark
ably successful New York run. will go
into vaudeville for the remainder OF the
theatrical season. I'm spite OF the rumor
that he is again 10 adopt the business
life.
A most welcome announcement is made
by Manager Lovenberg OF keith's, and
one which will please all local musis low
ers. Tbs is the re-engagement OF the Fa-'
dettes Ladies' orchestra, which created
such stir when they appeared at Keiths
last September. This act is now n perma-
nept feature of the Keith circuit and Ia
undoubtedly the best musical organiza-
ton composed entirely OF ladies in the
world today.
Another treat In store for music lovers
is Mrs. Caroline Shepard the beautiful
contralto vocalist and oratorio singer
who was at Keith's week before last,
who has been re-engaged by Manager
Lovenberg in response TO numerous re-
quests from local musical sets. Owing
10 the !nclement weather during Mrs.
Shepard's recent engagement at Keith's,
TERED from doing so. so the announce
ment that she is re- engaged will be hall
