OnlOu oquurcs
July weather is bafled by the heat
defying devices which are installed
in every Keith and Proctor theatre
in New York city. Exhaust fans,
blower fans, electric fans to the
right, fans to the left, fans in front,
fans in the rear, indeed the constant
whirr of the fan meets one at every
turn in these houses, and patrons are
cooled despite themselves. That is
why there is no discomfort in indoor
theatricals during the summer in
Keith e Proctor's places. The COM
fort of the public being provided for,
the matter of entertainment is not a
difficult one as witness the excellent
program at the Union Square for he
week of July 8. Miss Nina Morris
will make her vaudeville debut in an
original one act farce, entitled, "A
Friends Advice" Miss Morris comes
into vaudeville with the prestige OF
Broadway success achieved in Froh-
man and Klaw e Erlanger produce
tions. An act, always certain OF a
triumph in a continuous program is
.Jehan Bedini, the skillful juggler,
whose assistant is the inimitable
Idroll and diminutive Arthur. Stuart
Barnes has a new batch of tuneful
parodies and a feature appealing di-
rectly to the young folks is Coins
Dogs, a troupe of w~ondrously edu-
|cated animals in the canine panto-
mime, entitled, cit Happened in Dog
ville.,' The other prominent spec
ialties are: Arthur & Mildred Boy
Ian, splendid juvenile entertainers in
the playlet, Jack & JILL" Joe Fields
and Mark Woolley, Tuetonic, dialect
comedians; the Lassard Bros, aero
bats and equilibrists; Klein and Cliff
ton, singing and dancing comedy;
Blanche Everett in limitations; the
Columbian Four, character coined
ians; Brown & De Loris, the singer
and the contortionist.
Tw~enty-third Street.
The good things in vaudeville find
their way in plentiful numbers to the
popular house of all-star features on
West Tw~enty-third street, and herein
a most invitingly cool environment,
patrons have every incentive for a
full of enjoyment OF a peer
less program of vaudeville. The
week of July 0 is particularly notice
able for an unusually excellent bill
which offers nothing that has not
stood the ~severest of vaudeville re-
quirements. The leading feature is
Marshall p. Wilder, that inimitably
droll little jester, whose matchless
wit as a story teller has brought him
to the fore as one of the best monol-
ogists in the profession. James A.
Herman, whose Tweedle-punch in
''Floradora" s~ignalized his as a COM
edian of rare attainments, will pre-
sent his original travesty, "The Tam
ing of the Beast" The spectacular
feature of the bin will be supplied by
the Four Fords, brothers and sisters,
whose dancing abilities are not ex-
celled by any experts on the boards.
Villa Holt Wakefield presents a nov
city apart from the ordinary in what
| she terms "Songreadings," said to be
a clever artisticism; Dean Edsall, q
comedienne of approved methods and
much finesse, will present a dainty
playlet assisted by Arthur Forbes.
Miss Sabel johnson, than whom she
boasts there is no soprano sOloist who
sings higher notes than she, and some
of the others are: The Three Mareen-
as, an e~quilibristic tria with many
comical phases; Fred & Annie Pelot,
n Juggling pair, whose ''turn" is a
scream; Cooper & Robinson, colored
performers, who sing admirably and
are extremely nimble with their feet.
