O.).—As a sort of preliminary to the regular fall "opening" next week the cur- rent bill at Keith's was one of the strongest offered here since the beginning of the sum- mer afternoon. Walter C. Kelly was given the headline honors and carried off the top position without the least difficulty. He closed to a storm of applause. Pictures opened the show, being shown in a frame instead of the usual white sheet. Richards, female impersonator, got his best results from the brilliant coloring and staging of his act, but his dancing seemed to lack the snap and life which characterized his work formerly. There was a fair amount of ap- plause and some genuine surprise when he removed his wig. Foster and Lovett. both men, in a singing and dancing number held No 2 spot down satisfactorily. Although their act savors of the small time they got their stuff across In a way which seemed to please the house. Bert Leslie registered solid with his "Hogan In London. The act has an abrupt and somewhat cold closing, which fallB to carry it to a proper conclu- sion, but this did not detract from the way the house received his efforts. Many friends of Mrs Walter C. Dalsimer and Mrs. Russell King Miller, society women and church sing- ers of this city, were on hand to greet them on their first appearance in the Chestnut street house. These ladies proved themselves capable of development into a passable vaude- ville attraction if provided with more ac- ceptable ebngB thon those thev now use. They will also ne*»d some coaching in stage bear- ing and make-up. Their voices are p'easant and well cultivated, but they have not yet reached that point where they can meet the demands of vaudeville. Their gowns were In their favor, being attractive models of the latest creations within the limits of good taste. Sutton, Mclntyre and Sutton were well received In a novelty acrobatic act In which there is considerable comedy of a smooth, clean and likeable nature. Walter C. Kelly was In the next snot, followed by Robert T. Haines and Co. Haines plays the part of a gentleman burglar in a quiet, con- vincing manner and received several curtain calls. Van Bytlnge and Wyngate give ade- quate support. Ellnoro and Williams got some of their chatter over although moat Natural—Invisible Free Sample CASMINE CO. 1S37 B'way, N. Y. City Corns Show That You Don't Know This If you have a corn it clearly shows that you don't know this (act: Blue-jay removes corns with- out pain or trouble. It ends them in 48 hours. Apply it tonight, and tomorrow you won't feel the corn. Day after tomorrow you can lift it out Ninetimes in ten one application ends the corn forever. One time in ten it requires two applications. Blue-jay has done this with sixty million corns. It does it every day with half the corns that develop. The other half are suf- fered by people who merely pare corns, or use some old-time treat- ment Let every corn pain remind you that 25 cents will end them. And the way is easy, quick and pain- less.
