year Is 10 euIO.i themselves dS TeSu-
lar patrons of Keith & Proetor's thea
tres for 1907. 1t is an era of big
shows over this formidable circuit,
the biggest in vaudeville, by the way.
of any individual firm in the East.
and at the extremely low tariff of 25-
cent matinees and rs and so cents for
reserved seats, evenings, it would
seem as If there were an Irresistible
magnet in the combination Of colossal
shows at infnisteslmal prices. Ever
keen for bargains in any direction,
the public is quick to recognize the
attractiveness of Keith & P~roctor's
policy of presenting an abundance of
entertainment at a. minimum of eX-
pense. The surety of a capital pro-
gram of the best that vaudeville
affords is enhanced by the reflection
that the enjoyment will entail but the
insignificant outlay of a quarter or a
half-dollar. 1t is in this SUSTAINED
policy of low prices that lies the
great popularity of Keith & Proctor's
enterprises, and this is emphasized
in the various theatres by the many
extra comforts and conveniences with
which patrons are always so pleas
antly surprised, such as smoking bal
comics in the case of all houses (save
the Union Square and the East 125th
street stock house,, commodious
lounging rooms, spacious Hobbies for
meeting friends, and various other

Harlem Opera House.
The youth of Harlem have appar-
claimed Keith 6 Proctor's Har-
lem opera house for their very own.
Surely, never was there seen greater |
gatherings of happy, smiling-faced,
bright-eyed young folks than were
observed at every performance last
week at this popular Home of Vau-
deville" in 125th street. While there
IS always a good show at this house,
there appears to be always something
in the bills that appeals with singu-
lar force to the young people. And
It is in addition an act hat likewise
amused the adults. Next weeks
show is headed by Ned Wayburn's big
spectacular production, 'The Futur-
.ty Winner" with Kingsley Benedict
rs the Jockey hero. Morris Cronin,
The European club-juggler, will be
in Harlem for the first time, as
will Wylie's dogs, a great trained ami
nal act. Others are christmas on

Der; Gertrude Mansfield and Caryl
Wilbur in mo, 81 Prospect ST., Cliff
Gordon, the German comedian; Quin-
an and Mack, and a dozen more.
Union Square.
Great ingenuity is always exercised
the compilation of the continuous
shows at Keith & Proctor's Union
Square, and the effort is constantly
made to maintain an evenly balanced
bill of entertainers, so that at any
hour patrons may visit the Square
there may be seen something of posi-
i've interest and merit. This has
been the marked policy of the con-
.inuous show at the Union Square,
and that is why prosperity reigns so
there at all times. There
S always a plentiful supply of stars,
md next weeks bill includes Georgef
Evans in the final week of his long
rum; the Wesseleys, a family of mar
velous jugglers direct from Europe,
Will Dldket HelT AHleTICuH u6DuL JdH-

Twenty-third Street.
An atmosphere of genuine cosiness
seems to peryade the shows
at Keith & Proctor's Twenty-third
street, and this is partially explained
by the compact construction of this
gem of a theatre. Performers and
audience sem to meet in closer unity
and that is why the efforts of the
artist .'get over" the footlights so sue
,essfully. The bill for January 7 is
splendid noe in every way. Clayton
White and Marie Stuart are the COM
edy stars in their farcial playlet,
sParis." The Four Fords furnish a
spectacular dancing number, and

senator, will present his artistic spe-
