al Keith's this week where unquestion-
ably the best vaudeville performance
Providence has had FOR many a day Is be-
ing offered. There are no less than 10 big
features, any one OF which might accept
ably MI the headline position In a dill Of
less strength. As u Is. the place OF honor
Is dcserVedly given TO that distinguished
legitimate artistic. Rose Coghlan, who APP
pears In an intense one-act play. THE
Ace OF Trumps." Miss Coghlan belongs
10 one Of the oldest theatrical families OF
the age and her position among the great
est actors OF the stage has been won by
her cleverness and ability. which are none
the less great today than they were 10
years ago. She has an ease and repose.
together with a dramatic power. that
sweeps everythifg before her, and she Is
one OF the most notable acquisitions to
the vaudeville ranks that have been ac-
qvr1rrd or rcCUTTt years.
There are some very attractive women
at kcith's this week and some beautiful
gowns are being worn by each. They rep
resent different types. each equally fas-
cinating in her own particular manner.
Rose Coghlan represents the more ma
ture. distingue type. and IS seen IN a
flowing negligee or Dresden lowered
sapho silk. with long graceful sleeves,
This makes the audience gasp with ad-
miration.
Grace Cameron represents the petite.
rogush girl with twnklng black eyes
and jet black curls. She wears several
different dresses. but perhaps the most
charming f. the baby dress In which
she gives her juvenile impersonations.
This Is soft. creamy white. all delicately
trimmed with beautiful white lace that
makes every feminine onlooker green with
envy.
Little Miss Sailor. OF Sailor & Barbar-
retto. is "a merry little woman and wears
simple little gown Of white muslin that
Is particularly suited 10 her type OF
beauty.
Perhaps the most gorgeous gowns are
those worn by Miss Surratt. OF Gould
Surratt. Miss Gould herself Is a gor-
geous creature. regal and statuesque, with
Grecian features and a superb figure. HeI
| gown Of cloth of gold represents several
! hundred dollars. unless I'm much mis-
| taken. and the other one that she wears
which might be called "serpentine crca-
ton" is worthy OF Worth.
| What is more, these women all know
how TO wear their gowns with grace and
distinctions. and they are by no means
an unimportant feature Of the excellent
! performance at Keiths this week.

thing. Some will never be able to re-
establish themselves in business or 9TH
erwise if outside aid is not extended

been raised as to the liability Of the
accidents causes great doubts as to
whether the sufferers will be able to
