One of the most popular writers OF
lyrics and librettos as well as one of the
most successful, is Richard earle, whose
''The Tenderfoot" and other musical
comedies have already been passed upon
by theatregoers aud scored big hits. Mr.
Carries latest, 1.-The Maid and the Num-
N.Y." is said to be the best and brightest
of them all His attachments are varied,
for he is not only successful author, but
very successful actor, as well as an &C
complished musician. In 'The Maid and
the Mummy" he is said to have provided
very great many exceedingly bright
lines, laughable situations, and mirth pro-
voking complications. The music of
'sThe Maid and the Mummy was COM
posed by Robert Hood Bowers, a young
musician, who is rapidly making himself
known in the world of music. Mr.. Bow
ers' composition in "The Maid and the
Mummy" is of the light, tinkling and
popular order extremely whistleable, so
much in demand at present by lovers of
entertainments of this kind. The pro-
duction is most elaborate, both seen
ically and from the standpoint of costumes,
the latter being the products of the Klaw
& Erlanger Costume Company and Nine.
Freisinger Many novelties in stage bust
ness have been introduced by the manage
ment and there is no question as to the
success 1.-The Maid and the Mummy" has
met with wherever it has been presented
''The Maid and the Mummy" was a
great big hit at the New York Theatre,
New York, last summer, where it enjoy
ed long run. 1t comes to Philadelphia
with the identical cast and company num-
boring in all one hundred and six persons,
which made the first engagement early in
the season so very successful. The pres
ent engagement is not limited as to time
and will most probably run until the hot
weather begins. 1t opens on Monday
April 3rd, at the Walnut Street Theatre
and there will be the usual weekly and
holiday matinees.
Genuine high-class minstrelsy is en-
joyed by all classes, and it is this kind Of
minstrelsy that is offered by GortOn's
Minstrels this season. The company is
especially strong in musical sense, the
vocal and instrumental music being of a
uniformly high order. The general ex-
cellence of the performance, however, is
by no means confined to the musical por-
ton of the entertainment. Popular and
artistic features there are in great abund-
ance, with funny comedians, graceful
dancers, expert specialists. etc, thus
rounding out an agreeable and attractive
program. The company will be seen at
the Auditorium Theatre, Burlington, on
Saturday evening, March %. Seats can
be secured at DIR. E. D. Prickitt's drug
store, Mount Holly.
The keynote of the fun in Hoyt's "a
Bunch of Keys" which will be presented
by Gus Bothner at Burlington Auditor
| ium, on Tuesday, March 81, is cleanliness.
Its humor is the good homely American
kind while its wit is the repartee of a
clever mind The nasty French farce had
not been transplanted in America when
Charles II. Hoyt gave us "a Bunch OF
KEYS" so that comedy had to depend
upon legitimate methods for success and
not upon suggestiveness or indecencY.
"a Bunch of Keys" is still reigning at.
traction while the French farce has been
rejected as unfit for audiences. For 8
whole generation "a Bunch of Keys" has
| furnished amusement and in the hand OF
a wakeful management, it seems good fol
another generation. Gus Bothner takes
pride in presenting the favorite old farce
comedy gem on a generous scale, and its
successful tours each season attest the
fact that his efforts are appreciated. This
season he has outdone himself and "a
Bunch of Keys" will seem almost like al
original production. New comedy situa
lions have been introduced to add to thu
general hilariousness, bright and catchy
songs have been interpolated to add to thu
general entertainment and clever come
dams, singers and dancers have been en-
gagged to give a careful and ambitious in
depreciation of the comedy. An evening
of mirth, melody, and merriment is il
store for our audiences when "a Buncl
of Keys" comes to town. 1t is safe tt
assume that Bothner's Greater "a Buncl
of Keys" will receive a rousing welcome
