Tne Democratic National Convention has brought thooaanda of strangera here and all theatres are playing to capacity. Extremely hot weather haa hurt the downtown houses for the past few weeks, and the parka have benefitted accordingly. PHILADELPHIA By OEOROE M, YOUNG. KEITH'S (H. T. Jordan, mgr.).—There waa marked Improvement In entertaining quality of tb. bill this week over what has been offered recently. Business is all that can be expected considering tbe hot weather. Tbe honors are pretty well divided among three or four of the principal acta. Viola Gillette and George Macfarlane scored em- phatically In their musical comedy skit, a real treat. The veteran Jamea Thornton wltb a mono- logue, refreshed wltb considerable material new here, found the usual warm recognition. Thornton never did better than be la doing at present. Over- sctlng st times robbed tbe sketch "Chums," pre- sented by Eva Taylor and Company, of much of Its merit. It Is well written and offera abundant opportunity for each member of tbe caat. Mlaa Pearl Evclynne took the most advantage of hers. Miss Taylor was badly over-dressed. George D. Baker and Walter Pennington would be much more effective If they were leas boisterous and CALL CALL CH'RLES ROBINSON AND HIS "NIGHT OWLS • t All paopl. engaged for abor. oompany will report for rehearsale at PALM PARPEN wit.t^ ajta St., between Lexington and 8d Ave*., on Ang. 6, at 10 A.

Another big hit was scored by Kelly and Kent In a comedy aklt. In which there waa a mix- ture of that which appeala moat to the lover of vaudeville. Both are capital entertainers. For their final appearance aa a team Dixon and Anger repeated their original act, "Tbe Baron and His Friend," and ancceeded In pleaelng. Th. Con- atantln. Slstera flnlab up with about two or three mlnutea of good dancing, The flrat part of th. act, especially the alnglng, cuts little figure, the act paaalng fairly well. Wormwood's Dogs and Monkeya held down the cloning position in good shape, tbe animals working splendidly despite the beat. Harry Bobker opened with character impersonations, none over good. On. or two songs helped a bit. Viola and Bngel offered comedy acrobatics and barrel Jumping. The roller skating of tbe Gartelle Brotbera got banda. Tbe Reese Brothers offered tbelr alnglng and acro- batic act. Mile. Pertlna, toe dancer, and May Hickey are under New Acta. AUSTRALIAN NOTES By MARTIN 0. BRENNAN. Sydney, May 81. TIVOLI (Sydney).—Tbe Kaufman Troupe left for Melbourne on Friday and tbe absence leavea a void that will he very bard to fill. To aaalat In ameliorating the loss the Rlgoletto Brotbera, acro- bats, and John Hlgglns, champion jumper of th. world, were brought In, but both acta In no way compensated. Roth are clever though. Clarence Tlsdale, colored tenor, reappeared and waa warmly welcomed. Holdovers also. NATIONAL AMPHITHEATRE.—A pleaelng en- gagement here Is that of tbe Little Dartos (Eddie and Deelma Mcl-ean) and the Auatrallan Little Tlch fltay Mcl.ea-.i).

He deplored the lack of Individuality In the turns at bis disposal, nearly all tbe artists running their acts in old grooves. "Tbe Prince of Pllsen" (billed here as th. American "Mikado") opened here to capacity last night. Tbe principal comedian and a strong support are from your aide. Tbe piece mad. an empbatlc bit.
