Fifth Avenue.

Fifth Avenue.
When ii is considered that there Is
a change of program at Keith and
Proctor's Fifth avenue theatre, every
week, and that two performances
ire given daily, the estimable work
of the stock company in interpreting
the latest popular dramatic success
es in a manner more than consistent
with the original production must
needs be commended. Next week
this capable company will have an
other opportunity to demonstrate its
efficiency and versatility, when "Raf-
hes," in which Myrtle Bellew starred
for many seasons, will have its first
Broadway presentation at low prices.
This intensely interesting play will
be adequately staged and nothing
will be left undOne to make 1t the
best Offering at this theatre since it
returned to it's old stock policy. The
attendance has steadily increased,
new subscribers being added to the
alreaa large list every day. "Raf-
fles" will have the services of an eX
ceptionally strong cast. Mr.. Alphonz
Either will play "Raffles" while the
character of Captain Bedford will be
In the hands of Mr.. Wilson Melrose,

deared herself in the hearts of the

acters will be assumed by the follow
ing: Harry Sanders, Mr.. Eugene

A. Bliss; Lord Crowley, George d.
Macintyre; Crowshal Mr. Ernest

125th Street.
Never in the history of Keith and
Proctor's 125th street theatre has
this house enjoyed such prosperity
than at the present time. Folks who
have never visited this house before
are flocl5ing there afternoon and eve
ming, and it is nothing unusual to see
the standing room only" sign dis
played in a conspicuous place outside
the building. Next weeks bill is un-
doubtedly the most attractive arrang-
ed in weeks. The leading feature
will be the new European act, "The
Stunning Grenadiers." This special
ty. which created such sensation
further down town last week, viii
be produced for the first time in
Harlem and there is no doubt that il
will be equally as cordially received

pended Apdale's Animals, the most
original act of its kind in vaudeville;
