firm in the affections of the public as
Keith & Proctor's One Hundred and
Twenty-Hfth street, the uptown home
of the Keith & Proctor stock com
pany. Its hold upon the people OF
upper Manhattan is gained through
the admirable performances of the
company which is as facile in the
realms of farce as it Is strong and
dominant in the classics of Shake
speare. The house is always attrac-
tive in its ~spaciousness and there is
ever the effort put forth by the pro-
prietors to give the patrons the best
that can be secured in the way OF
dramatic entertainments. Even
throughout the heated term, when
other houses are prone to close Their
doors only too quickly, the latch

ty-fifth Keith & Proctor house is al
ways out. The stock company at this
house has made an enviable reputa-

Already the body of the house has
been sold out and 1t is quite on the
cards that Harlem will have such a
theatrical "high-jinks' as will go
down to posterity. Meanwhile the
patrons are entertaining every We'd

At this season of the year, when SO
many visitors point their way toward
Greater New York, special eXertions

prevails during the winter eason

Twenty-third Street.
This house continues to live up to

'cosiest home of all-star vaudeville"
and never has it been seen in hand
somer attire than now, with its sum-
mer decorations inside and out. The
auditorium is always unusually cool
and comfortable and there is real
luxury in thus enjoying vaudeville
even in the hottest days of summer.
Novelties rule in the programs here
and from week to week are always
seen a dozen features claiming stel-

the big metropolitan audiences. To
put on an all-star vaudeville bill in
summer time is a risky commercial
venture but the keen judgment of
Messrs. Keith and Proctor is fortified
by the fact that the Twenty-third
street theatre is always filled to over
