125th Street.
Harlemites evidently have a keen
perception for all that is good in
vaudeville, judging by the way they
have responded to the new policy OF
all star shows at Keith and Proctor's
125th street. The eosey playhouse
has been literally packed to the doors
since the change from stock TO var
iety and judging from present indi-
cations this order of things will con-
tinue indefinitely. 1t is ~palpably OBJ
vious that the management intends to
cling to the inaugural rule of pre-
senting only headliners as the bill ar
ranged for next week indicates. John
7. Kelly, the noted Irish comedian.
will appear in the humorous farce
"A Game of Con-" Mr.. Kelly is sup-I
ported by his own company. Gus
Edwards School Boys and School
Girls" a clever and dainty singingI
act, is another feature. Clarice
Vance will sing coo songs in her own
inimitable style, while Collins and
Hart will offer their irresistibly
mirthful trapeze stunt. Others on
the bill are: Potter and Harris,
comedy gymnasts; Black and Jones,
negro delineators; Stinson and Mer-
ton, sketch artists; Jack Norworth,
the college Boy in a monologue
act, and Watson's Farmyard.
Union Square.
When one visits Keith and Proc
tors Union Square week after week
it is readily understood why, this
theatre enjoys the distinction of be-
ing one of the most popular vaude-
Vile houses in New York. Acts that
come under the caption of real nov
elites and features that are both in
teresting and diverting, are CONSTANT
~ introduced. The leading speciality
for next week will be offered by JOS
ephine Cohan & Company, in a roll
licking, breezy sketch entitled "A
Friend of the Family" Besides be-
ing a clever actress and coincidence,
Miss Cohan is an excellent dancer.
The Mouliere Sisters, expert bar per-
formers, will introduce new tricks,
while Miss Mary Norman will offer
her extremely dainty travestry on
how many society bellies act, in real
life. Fred Niblo will dispense a line
of original and witty talk, Ferry Cor
wey, the musical clown from the
Hippodrome; Milt Wood, dancing
act; Gardner and Maddern in TOO
Many Darlings;" Ed Estus, equili-
brist; Carr and Reynolds, are some
of the other engrossing turns on the
bill. The popular afternoon and eve
ming concerts will contain the usual
excellent features.
T~wenty-third Street.
What may be indispUtably said to
be the banner program Of the season
has been arranged for Keith and
Proctor's Twenty-third street theatre

iuue features essential to success nine
charming stately and prepossessing

and scenery are said to eclipse any
thing of the kind OF the American
vaudeville stage. Bobby North, the
Hebrew p~arodist, will sing new songs
while Harry Tighe's %Collegians in
"Our Alma Mater Days a travesty
on life in the big colleges, should
