The
Theatres



Keith d Proctor's Fifth Avenue.
A combination of severaly up-to-
the-minute ideas, recently introduced
at Keith & Proctor's Fifth Avenue
theatre have resulted in making this
charming Broadway resort for vaude-
vile lovers more attractive than ever.
The first innovation was the smoking
balcony. This privilege was accord
ed in Difference to an expressed de-
mand from the public who have
grown accustomed to smoking in
vaudeville houses at least in New
York city. The concession was most
thoroughly welcomed and appreciated
by the patrons. In the two CALL
star" performances, matinee and
night, week of December 8, the Fifth
avenue offers the following: George
Evans, the famous Honey Boy" in
his latest monologue and songs;
That Quartet" Tom Edwards, a
marvellous ventriloquist from Eng
land; the Four Merkel Sister, dar-
ing gymnasts; Dan Burke and School
Girls; Howard & Bland, Saona;
Quigg; Mackey & Nickerson; Althea
Twins; Morton, Temple & Morton
and others.
Harlem Opera House.
The smoking balcony and the GAIL
star shows in their entirety twice
daily, matinee and night, has met
with the unqualified endorsement of
lthe uptown patrons o. vauG eville at
Keith & Proctor's Harlem Opera
house. There can hardly lie room for
doubt, that these twentieth century
adjuncts of vaudeville, the smoking
privilege in the balconies, the run
ming through of the complete bill ev-
cry matinee and evening and the re-
cents, are an absolute necessity now
adays and Messrs. Keith & Proctor
arc determined to give the public
Just what it demands. The big all
star bill for December 3 at the Har-
lem Opera house includes Louis 81
mon, Grace Gardner & Co., Hassan
Ben Ali's Arabs, Al Shean and
Charles Warren, Alice Hollander,
Bailey & Austin, Besnoh & Miller,
|Orth & Kern and twenty others.
Union Square.
The cosey Union Square is the ira
ditional "full hours" on Keith &
Proctor's circuit and it demonstrates
most emphatically what a strong hold
the continuous performance has on
downtown New York. The prestige
of always giving a good show has
maintained the popularity of this re-
sort at its enviable high-water mark.
The attractions for the week of De-
cember 3 are headed by "Vella,
manipulation of electricity, whose per-
Torrance is one calculated to awe
and terrify spectators. Yet it is quite
without danger to the artist or the
audience. VOLTA does the most I'M
canny things with electricity. The
Immensaphone and others are Maude
Hall and Carlton Macy; Frank Bush;
Johnny Stanley and Grace Leonard;
Cameron & Flanagan; Watson's
Barnyard Baker troupe of cyclists;
Dubois and Monkey, the GagnouX,
RADIO G. Bortram and ten others.
