TWO HEADLINE ACTS
 ON KEENEY'S BILL

Two acts regularly headlined in first class vaudeville playhouses, Harry Fisher Ward and company and the Four Famous Richards will do duty as special attractions at Keeneys this week. Both specialties are of premier order and seldom get a position other than top on any program. The management is mak- ing great effort to provide a sum- mer show of high merit and neither expense or trouble is being spared to make the bill up to the standard required for capacity July houses.
 A perusal of this weeks offerings prove the truth of the preceding statement. as in all probability the entire show measures up to any vaudeville program ever given in this city.
 Ward aand company are slap stick cyclists and comedians. There are four people in the turn and the stunts they accomplish on wheels of various descriptions are really beyond com prehension. There are thrills by the bushel while these people hold the boards and a wealth of amusing fea- lures as we'll.
 Competing with the act for first honors will be the Richards, a

 The Three Anderson girls, known in vaudeville as "the sassy trio,'' will entertain with songs and dances and some amusing batter. They are laugh makers of extraordinary abil- ity and should find favor every day.
 Merrill and Kay, comedy char acter actors, will also contribute to- wards the entertainment of the patrons.

exactly under what conditions and in what environment the gay and blithe- some choristers labor.
 However, it Is not only the chorus girl who is going to be investigated. The probe will extend to every em- ploye of theater or a theatrical com pany from the business manager down to the stage hand; even the press agent will be examined and put under oath to tell the truth if he can, and the ushers. box office men, grips and props will be sum- moned to appear and testify as to the character and nature of their work.
 It is the purpose of the industrial commission to make a thorough i'm quiry into every department of the theatrical business, paying much at- tention also to the vaudeville agencies and the picture houses. There are at present eighteen bills pending in congress for the establishment of bureau of employment by the United States government, but none of these measures will be acted upon until the industrial commission has finished it's investigations, which may take an- other year.
 The chorus girls of Broadway need have no fear of the statesmen. They are for the most part genial. kindly, elderly, gentlemen, with warm hearts and open hands. They will leave their wives and families at home on this junket.

 Tomatoes Stuffed With Eggs.-Th1s is a dainty and nourishing luncheon dish. Select some firm round to- matoes of equal size, cut a slice from the top of each and remove the seeds carefully. Then place the tomatoes on a sieve to drain for an hour. Coat the inside with a little warm butter and sprinkle in little chopped pars- ley. Break an egg into a cup and turn it into one of the tomatoes. Fill them all in the same way, replace the slice which was cut from the top of each, put them on a buttered tin and bake in a hot oven until the tomatoes are soft. Serve the tomatoes on round croutons of a suitable size and surround them with parsley sauce. Sirloin Steak With Bananas.-Trim and wipe the steak, arrange in the broiler and broil over a clear fire, seasoning with salt and pepper when half done. Transfer to a hot platter, spread with a tablespoonful of butter, and sprinkle with one tablespoonful of freshly grated horseradish. Lay over all the bananas prepared as fol- lows: Take three large bananas, re- move the skins and split lengthwise. Drop a large spoonful of butter in a hot frying pan and when smoking lay in the pieces of banana. Brown quickly on both sides and drain for a moment on paper.

woven as cashmere, is the ideal ma- terial for beach costumes. Although used in various shades, it undeniably is smartest in white, relieved in some instances by colored buttons, girdle, collar, hat trimming and parasol lin- ings. A flower or fruit wreathed hat is often worn with a white flannel frock.
 The simplest model in flannel has skirt laid in fine pleats, stitched hatly from waist to knee, where 1t flares slightly. Like most of the beach skirts worn by slender girls, the hem of this one merely brushes the instep. A moderately wide belt in flat embroidery separates the skirt from the upper section, which is combination blouse and jacket. It's loosely gathered fronts open to the belt over surpliced chemisette in white batiste, the Normandy collar ot which flares high about the neck. The wide back and the narrow side forms, straight from shoulders to hips, where they are gathered into band of embroidery extended across the skirt. From the front the gar- ment's effect is of drawn-in jacket worn over a belted bodice. Sleeves set plainly into normally placed arm eyes gradually widen toward the el- bow. Half way to the wrist their fulness is held in at the under side of the arm by row of buttons, which run under turned-back banu cuffs The close, intricate pattern of embroidery is of the hattest sort and is particularly good on this all-white model.
