BUNCH OF KEYS. When a musical farce
can continue to interest the public without
winning murmur of complaint and do this
for many, many seasons, it stands to reason
that it must possess uncommon virtues as an
entertainment of proper fun and melody quail

and fairly and squarely. No wonder, then,
that its announced presentation at the Colonial
Theatre next Thursday evening is exciting so
much laugh and music interest. In conjunc-
ton with the usual supply of fun and music
numbers, whole raft of novelties, and novel;
/ ties of the telling variety, are scheduled-some
of them quite extraordinary, too; and a cast of
singers, dancers and comedians to warrant the
faith in night of jollity and good cheer.

sale Tuesday.
