GREAT CHARACTER COMEDIAN. Thomas J. Keogh, who Is appearing at the Family theatre this week with Miss Julia Alnsworth In a novel little playlet, entitled "The Way He Won Is a remarkable character comedian. In' this sketch he assumes the roles of a hustling and fresh New York newspaper reporter, of a blundering and extremely funny German music teacher, and of a tough New York ward politician. It would be hard to Imagine three characters more widely apart and yet Mr.

Keogh brings to each a definite characterization. Miss Alnsworth, a charming young woman, Is an ingenue of cleverness and sings with wistful teuderness the ever delightful "The Girl You Love" from "The Silver Slipper." James Keane and company are scoring in their condensed version of "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde1' and are rousing the audiences nightly Into a high pitch of enthusiasm. SAME COMPANY IN TWO HOUSES.

The fact that the same vaudeville performance can be given in two theatres at the same time, without interfering with the performances in either theatre, was proved, at the Academy of Music and Lyceum theatre last night, when the Milton "Aborn Polite Vaudeville company played both houses. Great interest was aroused over what was at first thought to be an impossible feat. By cabs and transfer wagons, the performers and their stage settings were conveyed from one theatre to the other, and everything proceeded at both houses, as If that' was the regular manner of conducting affairs. The remarkable arrangement was made, accomodate the firemen in attendance at the annual convention of the State association. The same arrangement will prevail tonight.

This companyi is the same company which has been playing at the Academy of Music with such great success. The company will be seen at the Academy of Music as well as the Lyceum, the company performing the remarkable feat of playing both theatres on the same night. By a system of cabs and transfer wagons, the performers and their stage settings and properties will be transferred from one theatre to the other.

"THE, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST." Possibly without any exception, the big spectacular Drury Lane and Broadway theatre production of "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast," which will play at the Lyceum theatre Friday and Saturday, with Saturday matinee, Is the most meritorious attraction before the public this season, and on looking into the many reasons why, the average play goer is soon convinced. The entire outfit, from stage to fly gallery, was Imported to the Broadway theatre. New York; and In the latter city alone, it ran successfully for thirty continuous weeks, the receipts reaching' upwards of half a million. Although announced as a pantomime, "The Sleeping Beauty and the is in reality a gigantic musical extravaganza, displaying magnificent scenery, beautiful costumes, elaborate mechanical effects, 'and an army of people.
