KEITH'S THEATRE, COLUMBUS, Week Feby. 16th.- 07 (W. H. Prosser.)

RADO and BERTRAM: Comedy Sketch: The New Girl: Man and woman -- There is no reason for calling this act a sketch. -- It opens in C. D. F. closes in one. --Except the work of the man as a contortionist and dancer, the act has but little to recommend it.

The PHAYS: An act too well known to necessitate comment. -- Suffice it to say that it went excellently and predict that it will create lots of talk before the week is over. -- In two parts the first consuming 8 minutes, and the last 27.

MR. AND MRS. TRUESDELL: Farical sketch or Comedy "Two Men and A Bottle" A work of decidedly funny order that made a most distinct hit. -- Four people in same: Two men, woman, and 'bit' by colored parter. -- A very good act of its kind and well presented. -- 21 minutes Drawing room.

WILLA HOLT REDFIELD: This lady recites songs playing her own piano. Her work is very good and she succeeded in getting a goodly share of applause for her efforts. -- The act is clean and away from the usual single stunt. --

SCOTT AND WILSON: Two men: Comedy acrobats. -- Very good act of its kind. -- Open with one member in audience who impersonates "Rube." He starts argument with man on stage which leads up to work of both in Street in One. -- 11 minutes.

MATHEWS and Ashley. -- Smashup in China Town: -- It is not glaringly apparent where this act gets its title. -- The two men work in one. They sing and in such a way as makes a very big hit. -- In fact they were the success of the bill this afternoon but whether they will finish this way for the week is a question. -- Parodies is their line. 19 minutes.

RICHARDS PONIES AND DOGS: A well known act and one that went big. Special set representing tent. -- The act is well dressed and put on and looks like a good card for us. -- 18 minutes. 

KINETOGRAPH: Pictures but fair; Did for the holidays: Winter Sports In Norway: Midwinter Nights Dream.
