KEITH'S THEATRE.

1t is seldom that Providence theatre
goers have such genuine musical treat
offered them as Blind Tom, the musical
marvel, who has astonished critics from
one end Of the earth 10 the other. A
large and critical audience gave Blind
Tom an ovation last evening and called
him back TO the stage several times in
acknowledgment of the amazing. God
given powers he possesses. Tom was
born In lS49 OF slave parents. and blind
and simple e-mindeG all his life he inter
prets with marvellous precision and ex-
precision the severely classical com
selections from the famous operas, each
one being applauded 10 the echo. II In

opportunity is rarely offered.
Another feature OF the bill which will
