KEITH'S THEATRE WASH*INGTON--D.C. WEEK Sept. 15, 1913

CHARLES D. WEBER An eccentric juggler. Some of his work is new and some old, but taken as a whole it makes a very lively opener. Full stage.

HERBERT & GOLDSMITH Man and woman, ope in one, with a singing number, then go to full stage, in which the use special backing representing a sea, surrounding by cliffs. They then present a very artistic dancing number, a little out of the ordinary, and could hold a better position on any bill.

ROBERT EMMETT KEANE Mr. Keane's act is quite similar to the one original presented by Clinton Crawford in vaudeville. An artistic offering, and well received by this audience. In one.

BEN DEELEY & CO Very similar to his old act, but with a new finish. Really the best act I have ever seen him present. Special drop, in two, closing with house olio, in one.

HARRY THAW MOTION PICTURES The photography very good, and evidently the sympathy of the public here is with Thaw. Good.

INTERMISSION

AMORAS SISTERS These girls are very well known along the circuit. And as we have not played them for several years, I find the act to be much improved in every way. Full stage.

THE STAN STANLEY TRIO Open in one, and close full stage. Two men and a woman. Act a little out of the ordinary, laughs all the way through, and there [their] closing number, the comedy tumbling on the bounding table by Mr. Stanley is about the best we ever had here.

LILLIAN SHAW She presented four numbers, all of which were well received. In one.

LASKY'S "RED HEADS" This is really the vest best of all the Lasky productions. Pretty setting, catchy music, good comedy, gorgeous costumes, of which there are many changes, the entire act a competent one, and although it was very late when the act appeared on the bill, the audience were loathe to see the curtain fall on its finale. A hit, full stage.

KINEMACOLOR "The Major's Story", a two reel war drama which to hold very well

H. Winnifred De Witt.
