vaudeville. viz: Two complete per-
formances daily, with the added priv
ilege of smoking in the balcony, has
accomplished wonders at Keith q
Proctor's Fifth avenu and also the
Harlem Opera House, where the
change to this policy was made a
couple of weeks ago. Now that 1t is
possible for patrons to see a entire
show between 2 and 5 and 8 to IL,
with the further comfort of smoking
in the balcony and the choice of re-
served seats sold two weeks in adj
"a generally improved condition
of affairs is distinctly noticeable at
these two houses. The programs are
confined strictly to a~ll-star acts and
the bill for week of December 10 at
the Fifth rel is a noteworthy one
in every way. The headliner is Miss
Valerie Bergere, former star in David
Belasco's Madame Butterfly" who
will offer a beautiful Japanese COM
edietta entitled His Japanese Wife"
Others in this big bill are: The Elec-
trio Crickets in a snowy spectacular
singing and dancing specially; James
j. Morton, humorist; John & Louis
Boiler; Carson & Willard, German
COlilculdHS, DyIOH ~ luC
Dude Detective;" Farrell Taylor Trio
seven musicians; Henry & Francis,
and moving pictures.
Harlem Opera House.
The dweller uptown-the Harlem
lite and his neighbor, the Bronxite-l
are now in a position to enjoy their
evening meals more leisurely after a
mad dash homeward from business
no H nnd .ntnn In anfnfAYt tN tho
Harlem Opera House without the
fear of losing any part of the show.
This is due to the new policy of en-
t%ertainment which provides a COM
plete show from 2 to 5 in the after
noon, and s till II at night. That
this, with the smoking balcony privi-
lege, is altogether to the liking of
the uptown vaudeville devotee, is
apparent in the crowded houses cen
at this beautiful resort nightly. The
program next week is opuient in big
features headed by Clayton White
and Marie Stuart in their latest farce
comedy; Julian Rose, the Hebrew
comedy star; the Four Nighton, just
returned from Europe with more
marvellous acrobatic feats than ever;
the Baggessens in quaint Juggling &C.
centricities; Claire Beasy and her
cats; Johnny Stanley and Grace
Leonard in songs and dances; the
moving pictures and others.
Union Square.
AS the weeks progress, added pres
tige comes to the old established
HON of continuous performance, the
Union Square, where the crowds are
always to be found enjoying the us
ual good show. Innovations do not
appear to be necessary at this popu-
lar resort which moves along on an
even keel Of prosperity week in and
out during the entire year. The big
show is an habitual occurrence at tie
| Square and one week scarcely differs
from another in the superiority of
the program. For next week, George
Evans, the famous Honey Boy" will
head the bill in his newest songs and
stories. Tom Edwards, the famous
English ven~triloquist, is another
feature and the others are: Man
ning's entertainers. acrobatic COM
edians: Barrows, Lancaster & Com
pany in Thanksgiving at Potts
ville;" Alice Hollander, European
contralto; Bert Howard and Leona
Bland musical comedy; AL Carleton
the skinny guy" O'Brien & Buck
ley, the farcical pair; Ramsdell Sis
ters. dancers; Saona impersonator:
the Holdsworths dancers and others.
Twenty-third Street.
In these busy days of holiday shop
ping, the two all-star shows at
Keith & Proctor's Twenty-third
street, take precedence in attracting
the bargain hunters who are looking
for a lot of amusement for a very
little money. The twenty-fve-cent
matinees with reserved seats is a dis
tinct bid for solid popularity with
the shoppers and a result is crowded
houses at all times at T~wenty-third
street. The program for December
10 and week is not entirely complet-
ed, but the headliners already en-
gagged bespeak the superior quality
of the entertainment sure to be pre-
sented. The stars thus far secured
are: The Moulier Sisters, in a beau
tiful and daring exhibition of gym
nastic skill and intrepidity; Sam
Watson's Barnyard, a positive novel
ty in animal specialties; Rollins and
the Carmen Sisters banjo quartet;
, Nettie Carroll, European wire per-
former, who will make her American
debut, and a dozen others.
Fifty-eighth Street.
In the way of making strides in
the vaudeville world there is nothing
to compare with the enormous i'm
provement which this season has
wrought at Keith & Proctor's Fifty
eighth street. The crowds are in
evidence matinee and night nova
days at this beautiful PLAYHOUSE and
New York doesn't boast a more pop
ular resort. The prices have been
Kept at a fixed low rate al both per-
formances and the program have
been maintained at a corresponding
ly high standard, so between the al
pha of high-class vaudeville and the
omega OF very low prices, the result
is most gratifying prosperity on all
sides. The big show next week in
cludes: Dan Burke and his School
girls; Emma Francis and her whirl-
wind Arabs; Sisters O'Meer. wire
performers; Raymond & Caverly, the
