Kei,h,s Theatre. Boston

Those who have laughed over "From
Zaza to Uncle Tom, which has been
played over 800 times by William H. Muir
ply and Blanche Nichols, will welcome
something new from this pair of favor
ties, declared the funniest that this clever
pair of comedians have ever produced. 1t
is called "A School of Acting, and is full
OF ludicrous situations.
This will be the headline feature at
Keith's theatre during the week of April
10. Other big features will be Marie
Daintcn, "a Night With the Poets" and
Gus Williams. Miss Dainton first ap-
peared in Boston last week and proved
such hit that she has been held over for
another week.
"a Night With the Poets'' is one OF the
very best musical productions. Gus Will
liams, the original Of the German come
dams, is to-day Brighter and more up-to-
datethan ever. Also on the bill are Cliff
ford and Burke, black fsce specialists;
Wormwood's animals; Josephine Davis;
the Yamsmoto brothers; Alba and others.

Deputy sheriff smsliidge, as crier, filled
the post like veteran.
Another new officer for whom this is
the first term Is County-Attorney Conary,
who this week takes up his work with
