WEEK OF DEC STH. -Old Timers’ Week will be celebrated in stnpeindods splendor at B. F. Keith’s Union Square Theatre, the oldest variety house 'in New York, during the week of December 9th, when twenty veterans of the old time varieties will have full sway-roviv- ing memories and all the theatre-go- ers will, no doubt, pay tribute to these artists who delighted us in our younger days. Once more they will laugh at their quips and jects or feel a grip at the heart strings as the tears well to the eyes at the pathos of some of the old songs. The clas- sicsof the olden days are still the classics of today for they possessed art, and art; is natural. The Irish queen of “McClosky" fame. of whom the stage boasts no prouderf name, Miss Maggie Cllno, is one ot the feature in this grarnd week. Miss Cline has been on the stage for. more than thirty years, and has al- ways been a 'great' favorite in this city. Miss Cline will sing some of her old time songs in her own matchless man-zier. It is nearly a quarter of a century since Frank F. Ward and John P. Curran joined issues and be- came known to the variety clientele of America as Ward and Curram, since which time their names have been 1»r¢_\inine`nt in the vaudeville houses of all parts of America. They will otleyitheir latest protean sketch called, “The Stage Door Tender” which is rich in humor and very in- teresting. Then comes Lydia Yea- ,mans who has just returned from a 'triumphant tour of England, a mem- -ber of one of ‘ the earliest families in stageland. Miss Yeamans will offer a remarkable mixture of music and im- ‘itation and will be accompanied by Frederick J. Titus at the piano. An- other feature will’ he the appearance of Gus Williams, the greatest of all German dialect comedians, who will sing some of his soul-stirring songs In his own matchless manner. The surrounding -bill of old timers will ipclude Mr. and Mrs. Mark Mur- phy, ‘in their latest farce called, "Clancy's Ghost."; Col. Sam Holds- worth t.he oldest professional tenor in the world; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Thorne in their excruciatingly funny s-_etch rs\led. “An Up-Town Flst"; Wm. E. Hines, Earl Remington and Company presenting their hilarious hit. entitled, "Notoriet.y"; Caron and Herburt, two of the oldest and fun- niest ncrohats in the varieties and John LcOlnlr, who has jugglcd on the variety stage si-nce the days of '72 and retains the skill and dexterity of 1 modern manipulator. Old Timers' Week will be the big- gest event in New York-old time airs'wlll be played by the orchestra.- old time songs will be sung by the eiutfre campany and as a grand fini ale, an old afterplece, an original sketch'wfll be presented in- the' old time manner, especially staged for this occasion.

' "THE QUALITY OF THIS STRAIN’HAS ALWAYS COMPARED FAVORABLY WITH Ti-IE OTHER LITTERS".
