KEINI'S-WiIIiam FaversIlam.

A splendid aIl-around vaudeville
program is offered this week at
Keith's, that sterling actor, William
Faversham, occupying the headline
position. Mr.. Eaversham is appearing
in q plavlet entitled The SpOnger, ="
a comedy by Edwin Burke. It
gives him many opportunities for his

cially a treat to those who appreciate
good lines we'll read. The supporting
company last night was all that could

calls rewarded the offering.
An elaborate tabloid musical com
edy, entitled London Paris and New
York" easily captured the runnerup
honors. all the principals being good
dancers, fair singers and the chorus
pretty and well drilled Artistic
scenery and rich costumes added to
the production. The chorus of eight
also helped to strengthen two other
numbers on the program.
VIII Ferry opened the show with his
famous contortion act. appearing as
large frog after he had frightened the
country lasSies away from the brook.
Bud and Jack Pearson put over a
good dancing turn and later helped
out the musical comedy. Jack Kraft
and Elsie Lamont followed in a skit
entitled PUT Up the Lights, the
former being very funny along orig
fnaI lines and also dancer Of the
front rank. Miss LaAIont's dancing
and the chorus put this number over
with a hang.
Herbert Clifton, the travesty star
had no reason TO complain Of his re-
ceptiou, as he was compelled TO make
n neat speech before the audience
would let him go. The Gaudsmiths
and their trained dogs did some clever
tumhling along comedy lines and re-
corded big hit. Ethel Davis in her
