"Under the Apple Tree," a lively musical skit with John Sully, Ethel Rosevere, Carl Byal and Muriel Thomas in the leading roles, is receiving an enthusiastic welcome which is well deserved, at Keith's this week. The costuming is elaborate, several of the tunes extremely catchy, and the chorus of eight very attractive--far more so than many that appear in the usual musical comedy or "revue." The acting and dancing of Mr. Sully is especially commendable, and the whole performance moves with vivacious rapidity.

Another playlet, but of a different character, is "Hard-Boiled Hampton," in which Harry Holman takes the part of the austere but really soft-hearted business man. The play is rather sentimental, but it is kept from being overdone by a saving touch of humor. The three parts are excellently taken.

Belle Montrose does a clever bit of acting in "Her Only Chance," a very original and unique piece of comedy. Lewis and Dody offer a bright dialogue act, including a clever ventriloquist imitation, which is made exceptionally funny by contrast with the work of Marshall Montgomery, the able ventriloquist who had preceded them on the program.

Other performers are Vinie Daly, of the illustrious theatrical family, who sings and dances; the Aronty Brothers, in astonishing feats of skill and strength, especially noteworthy for clever balancing; Lexey and O'Connor in smart songs and dances, and Maria Lo, who presents some art studies.
