AT KEITH'S NEXT WEEK

the chick-stealing dog and the various
all represented with remarkable intelli-
gence, and what makes IL all the more
extraordinary is that there Is no human n
being apears on the stage during the en-
tire act. The act is one that appeals to
grown-ups quite as much as to the little
people, ana IL will doubtless make one of
OF the most talked-of features of the sea-
son.
The Four Fords. who will be one OF the
conspicuous features OF the bill ut

attractively and for the % minutes they
are on the stage they keep the audience
applauding vocifSI ously. They are al
ways to be depended upon to make one
OF the biggest hits of any bill, no mat
ter how strong.

colored comedians and dancers In vaude-
