FKOCT0R'S NEWARK THEATRE.

CAS Is W. q. IlcdTH, WIN Will pre-
sent his beautiful Irish classic, "A
Romance of Killarney" introducing
special scenic and lighting effects and
also some brand new ballads. Mr..
O'Hearni is to vaudeville what Chauncey
Olcott and Andrew Mack are to the
legitimate in the way of Irish-Amer-
lean singing comedians. Gillette and
his wonderfully trained musical dogs
with four funny monkeys will be
warm favorites with the ladies and
little folks. The Willis Family will
dispense classic and popular music
to the satisfaction of all. Charles
Kenna will be heard in his ballyhoo
monologue, THE Fakir." Gardner
and Hadden will appear in a new
comedy sketch. Dixon and Anger
will massacre the English language
in the guise of German comedians.
Paul La Croix will display his clever
ness as a comic juggler. Thomas and
Pain, colored singers and dancers,
and a new series of animated pictures
will complete the program.
Twenty-third Street.
What should appeal to all lovers
of good and wholesome vaudeville is
the bill arranged for the patrons of
Keith and Proctor's Twenty-third
street theatre mex week. Novelties
that are as enduring as they are en-
t%ertaining will be introduced, and
taking it altogether the program is
undoubtedly the strongest and withal
most tempting offered in some time.
Thomas Ryan and Mary Richfield top
the list and will be seen in their fun
niest sketch, Mag Haggerty's Recep-
ton" Mr.. Ryan will again essay his
inimitable role of an old fashioned
Irishman who %endeavors to 'buttin"
to up-to-date society with compro-
missing and uncomfortable results.
Howard and North, real comedians,
i'll ''Those Were Happy Days" will
have a conspicuous inning in the
merrymaking. Janet Melville and
EVE Stetson, two clever farcers. will
sing a number of songs and bur-
lesque types familiar to theatre goers.
The other diverting features are:
George Wilson, the burnt cork artist,
remembered as one of the leading
mirth provokers with the old Thatch-
er Primrose and Vests Minstrels;
Five Salvaggis, sensational and grace
full European Whirlwind dancers;
Kelly and Kent, in songs and dances:
Charles Sierra, e%quilibrist, and Mel
sons comiques, a clever aggregation
of humorous knockabout comedians.
The Sunday concerts will prevail as
usual.
Fifty-eighth Street.
Seldom has it been the good for
tune of the patrons of Keith and
Proctor's Fifty-eighth street theatre
to enjoy a bill of such excellence as
the one arranged for their entertain
ment next week. Acts that have al
ready passed critical muster and new
features that are certain to win in
slant approval, are to be found on
the program. Heading the list are:
Joe Harris Electric Crickets, a minia-
ture spectacular production. Al
though the act lasts less than thirty
minutes three sets of scenery, changes
of costume and a complete invest
ment of electrical and mechanical eff
fects and other accessories are neces-
sary. Tom Nawn, the clever Irish
comedian, will appear in his latest
sketch, "A Touch of Nature" while
another commendable feature is the
-Four Bards, without a doubt the best
quartet of acrobatS on the stage. The
Bards perform feats heretofore never
by other athletes. Among
the other features are: Gardner &
Madden in a sketch brimful of hum
orous hits, entitled Too Many Darl-
ings;" Mayme Remington and her
troupe of pickaninies and Milt Wood,
dancer who would easily find in
slant favor in the eyes of the i'm
mortal Prince Turveydrop himself.
Harlem Opera House.
Presenting successful plays in the
manner worthy of their artistic merit
is undoubtedly the chief reason why
Keith and Proctor's Harlem Opera
House Stock Company is enjoying
such an encouraging vogue just now.
New subscribers are being added to
the already large list and if present
conditions continue there is no telling
what proportions the attendance will
eventually assume. Besides being
the most accessible of all the Keith
and Proctor theatres ii is also the
most commodious and just adapted
for this style of entertainment. Then
again the company is so efficient and
well balanced and carefully rehearsed
that a poor performance is a rarity.
For next week an entirely new dra-
matte version of that evergreen and
always absorbing play, Uncle Toms
Cabin" will be offered. New scenery
and accessories will be used in the
production. Besides the regular
company will have the services of
about 100 super numeries will be re-
quired. Mr.. Paul McAllister will be
seen as Uncle Tom, and Miss Morgan
Will play Eliza. Agnes Scott has been
assigned the role of Topsy, while
George Tumble will have the role of
Simon Legree. The remainder of the
cast is as follows: William Norton as
George Harris; Martin Faust as Mr..
st. Clair; George Howell as Mr.. Will
son; Peter Lang as Mr.. Shelby; Dud-
ley Hawley as Marks, the lawyer,"I
and Robert Hill rs Senator Bird.
Jersey City.
The program arranged for next
week at Keith and Proctor's Jersey
City is the best offered at this house
In some time. One act is particular
ly sure to appeal to vaudeville lovers
IS Apdale's Animals, without a doubt
the best turn of its kind in vaudeville.
The F~rancellias acrobats and physical
artists who juggle cannon
balls, etc, are also on the list. George
Day, a clever monologist, will
