NO ADMISSION CHARGE in its bt sense is promised for the Keith-Strand the first half of the week with the Billy Lightelle Revue as headliner. This is a bright bit of week Lew Kelly, the quaintest of all comedians, will bring his own attraction "The Lew Kelly Show," to this city, and if it lives vp to all that has been promised for, the patrons of the house are in for a rare treat. Jack Singer, the producer, announced that he has given having his permanent home In this city. Tonight will be the last local per-! musical comedy featuring Geraldine Coffman and a quartet of pretty girls who sing, dance and gown themselves exceptionally well. A trio that cannot fail to interest is composed of Bob Cook, Dot Oat-man and a piano, with the music well sung, and the delineators from songland making themselves prime favorites through their excellence.

Fred Fcnton and Sammy Fields are two blackface comedians who have a full supply of cleverness to Kelly a show that is unequaled on fcirance this season of "Flashlights of 1022," the very hilarious attraction in which Shorty McAllister and the Columbia wheel.

So in the coming week's list of attractions will be found Emily Ann Wellman, whose reputation rs a clever actress is not to bj disputed. She appears as headliner, with a playlet in ten scenes; an offering that is called "a theatrical storm in ten dramatic flashes," with Richard Gordon, a very capable actor to support her Miss Wellman brings something naw nd novel. Lucile Chalfonte, who has a coloratura voice cf rare sweetness and charm, comes with her strange resemblance in voice and personality to Jenny Lind, once famous songstress, and her numbers are well chosen to reveal the beauty of her vocal tones. Du-Calion is known by his ladder; that tottiring support that creates chills as well as thrills and on which the actor docs so many difficult things. Geo.

Rosener in "The Anthology of an Old Actor" has an offering that is artistic in idea and effect and his own ability and his many years on the stage give him th? necessary professional equipment with which to offer the thought behind the act. Armstrong and James are two blackface actors, one bsing a negro and the other a strutting molasses colored darkey with dandified manners. There is molasses and molasses but this shade is like maple. Ths two chatter, poke, and sing and the act is a very popular one. Two French musicians who have been seen before in Dayton are M0U3y7 1 show I signed up as a real actor.

It was also Harris' first managerial enterprise. "I must tell you about this, my first said Sidney.
