KEENEYS

An act which will bring to the fore
one of the best of vaudeville artists
and, in the same person, one of the
cleverest cornetists Newark has yet
produced, is "Ye Old-Tyme Hal
loween,'' which will be presented at
Keeneys Theatre during the first part
of the coming week. The stars in the
cast are John s. Leick, Newarker, and
Miss Mabel Keith.
There are three scenes in the plot
of this unique musical offering, 1.-THE
Prologue" "At the Lodge Gate" and
1.-THE Drawing Room of Colonial
Mansion"
The. story of Eye Old-Tyme Hal
loween" is founded upon a legend
which dates back to the time of tai
low candles and superstition. Who
ever spoke the first word on Hal
loween, from sunset to midnight,
would gain the animosity of the
witches, and the only way he could
escape the disastrous consequences of
his indiscretion would be to play upon
the great witch's horn But the
wishes of the eerie beings would be
made known through music's tone
In the story told by this dramatic

transgressor. But the transgressor
finds the way not difficult, in spite of
the old truism that the way of the
transgressor is hard" for the unan-
unity with which the other musicians
endeavor to produce harmony where
all apparently are at loggerheads is
quite as earnest as it is effective.
Another of the features of the eight
act bill is an aerial act, presented by
the Bellmonts, flying squirrels of the
human type" as they were recently
described by dramatic critic.
Among the features for the latter
half of the week are Cook and Brother,
in dancing, acrobatics and comedy;
Elizabeth Guilty, in her unique spe-
cialties as trombone soloist violinist
and singer assisted by five members
of her own talented family.
Designated as one of the cleverest
and most mystifying of illusionists,
Creo, Pygmalion-lille. turns a statue
into woman because the statue, in
the opinion of the mysterious powers
that rule the unseen, is too lifelike
and beautiful to remain a statue.
Specialties in the way of up-to-date
movies" will be feature of every
performance.
