KEITH'S NEW THEATRE,PHILA.
171  2.
progressive,up-to-date, and best tramp juggler in vaudeville. Went very strong. Very good act.

DELMORE SISTERS-17 mins. in one-Vocal and instrumental music. A neat, pleasing little musical act, that serves to fill in the time nicely. They make several changes of costume, and present a sort of novelty in a sister act. Good act.

FORD & GEHRUE-18 mins.-C.D.F. in 3-Ford's dancing is too well known for comment. Mayme Gehrue is an ex-Weber & Fields star. The dialogue of the sketch is not  exceptionally bright, but the dancing makes up for this shortcoming. They present a good act, and the bit of comedy that eventually develops gets some laughs. A very good, lively dancing act.

PAULINE HALL-12 mins. in one- Sang three songs, finishing with her famous ong in "Ermine." Went very well indeed, and her name will draw money all the week. A great billing feature for any bill.

MIDGLEY & CARLISLE-18 mins. Farm-Set House-In their old sketch "After School." They are favorites here, this being their third visit. Always go well, and seem to thoroughly entertain during the entire time. Good act.

JULIAN ROSE-15 mins. in one-Hebrew monologue and parodies. He went unusually well. Had a great deal of new stuff, which received roars of laughter. He seems to have improved in his delivery. A very strong act.

HOWARD'S PONIES-17 mins.-Garden in 4-Howard lost his monkeys and wardrobe in the Louisville fire. He has new, bright trappings, and they dress the act nicely. The horses and dogs work well, and the whole act if very good.

BIOGRAPH-20 mins. in one-Good selection.

COMMENT-The show is very good, but seems to be burdened with singing and dancing acts. This could not be helped.
