KEITH & P ROCTOR 12th, St. THEATRE, Continued

EDWIN ARDEN & CO
Presenting the play "Captain Velvet" Scene is laid in Lower California near the Mexican border, carries his own scenery, which received some applause on the opening. The company consists of Miss Keith Wakeman, George Ralston and George Halt, all capable players. The play is intensely dramatic and held the audience throughout. The finish is rather novel and sensational. Tremendous applause, with several curtain calls. Twenty-six minutes, full stage.

CARONS & WILARD.
Well known. Received some advance applause. Some of the old material and some new, with a few parodies, a couple of laughs occasionally and a little applause. Held this difficult place however, in fairly good shape. Eighteen minutes in one.

"OUR BOYS IN BLUE"
Excellent closing set. Contains many interesting features. Work with the Gatling gun, sinking of the gun-boat, special electric effects & etc., made the jury sit up. The greatest act of its kind we ever had. Continual applause throughout. A great novelty. Sixteen minutes, full stage.

KINETOGRAPH
POOR LITTLE PIG  Good comedy
HANDLING A BATTLESHIP FLEET  Interesting
JANE IS FURIOUS  Fairly good.
