tanning the interest of the audience

Messrs John w. Quinn and Eddie Fitz-
gerald did work both in the burlesques

the songs which fell to her parts in the

AT THE THEATRES
KEITH's THEATRE

The patrons of Keith's theatre yester-
day were treated TO a bill of unusual
merit by reason OF It's diversified attrac-
tions and well-balanced arrangement.
With Eva Tanguay. "the cyclonic come
dienne" I'm the place OF honor, closely
followed by Valadon, the well known ma
gician, and Dolan and Lenharr In a
bright sparkling farce, the bill as whole
is raised TO higher plane than Is
usually reached in vaudeville.
Miss Tanguay upheld her reputation
admirably. She is most amusing. breezy
and vivacious and received an ovation.
Her vocal cndeavors were of high or
der, as her rich voice did Justice to her
repertoire OF songs, including II Don't
Care" and Nothing Bothers Me-" In
these songs Miss Tanguay Is certainly
the personifcation OF indifference, and
don't-careness, and her entire speciality
IS so admirably rendered that she scored
a decided hit.
Not far behind Miss Tanguay in the sp-
plause OF the theatregoers were James
r. Dolan and Ida Lenharr In their de-
lightfully humorous farce. Taxing
Chances" which Is an admirable vehicle
for carrying to the front, Mr.. Dolan' y
spontaneous wit and comedy manner
isms.
The American Comedy -Four also merit
ed the hearty applause OF the audience.
Their novel mirth- provoking propensties,
their vocal talents of no mean order, and
All round clever work, make their en-
deavors highly appreciated and excite
uproarious laughter.
The great valadon, formerly with kei-
lar. and his supporting cast in most
mystifying Illusion, and sleight-of-hand
work make an interesting piece OF enjoy
ment. This clever magician. by his easy.
graceful manner, and skill displayed In
tricks OF a lighter order are quite as In
terestlng as his more pretentious endeav-
ors.
Reif Brothers, singers and cancers,
present a medley of ragtime songs. shoe
dancing and clever eccentrics. piiion
BROTHERS in their droll way also add TO
the general enjoyment Mrs. and Mrs.
Hughes in their comedy sketch are also
worthy OF mention, as they work In per-
Nect harmony each adding to the others
efforts. and each depending on the other
for the production OF perfect effects.
some good illustrated songs by w. u
werden and Leila Taylor. who possess
strong clear voices. also make good
number. The Bedouin Arabs In their tum-
bling specialties, and all-round agility.

notony OF so such comedy work ana
