THE CREATOR OF VAUDEVILLE.
B. P. Kolth Inaugurated tha Continu

Kellll 111 lliMtou, III IMS,'!, was celu
hlii I ed ut til! of the Keith t healers
early in l let cmlicr. The 4heuler audi
toriums were decorated, and special
program were presented.
Thirty years ago Mr. Keith opened
a tiny store show fn Huston. Today
he Is the president of the United
Hooking Oillees, the greatest con-
solldiitlon of money ond power In the
show world. It la estimated Hint the
weekly payroll exceeds $51)0,000,
In his first venture, despite limited
spate. Mr. Keith Introduced many of
tlm first vaudeville artists of the day,
-MS
B, f. KKITIL
Ills success enabled him to enlarge
tho space of his first amusement place,
which was culled the (injety Museum,
ami It was here that he Inaugurated
the continuous performance, an Idea
that be bad In mind for same time.
He com-elved the Idea that If a per
formance was begun at a stated hour
and was continued without Intermis
sion through the day and evening
there would be no waiting on the part
of tbe patrons and tbey could choose
their own time.
Tbe Idea proved an Immediate suc
cess, and ere long Mr. Keith was en
abled to move into larger and more
suitable quarters. Ue secured a lease
of the llljou theater, almost next door
to the site of the original enterprise.
Mr. E. F. Albce, now Mr. Keith's
manager In all bis various enterprises,
had become assistant to Mr. Keith In
the winter of 1SH3, soon after the first
oHnlng. When Mr. Keith decided to
build his Hoston theater Mr. Albce
was placed In full charge. When the
Hoston theater was opened In 1804, a
theater of ample proportions, tho value
of the continuous vaudeville idea was
finally proved. Mr. Keith Is now the
proprietor of J heaters all over the east
and middle west, and more people at

How to Mtko Clothaa For Stout Eld
rly Woman,
There Is decidedly a (1ll!lciilt task
before many geiiiiroiisly developed wo
men how to look well nml yet not run
counter to current modes, Kvcry wo
man would seem to Ho trying to look
young and thin, but this cannot always
be done, iintl In trying to appear thin
women Ua ofluii add to their appar
ent age,
A few plain facts must be remem
bered, Htout women must first of all
avoid stripes nml vivid colors. Tho
new reds now coming In, the vivid
greens and the brilliant combinations
of color must lie avoided. Hlio must
avoid patent leather shoes and boots
with white, gray or oilier light toned
uppers. Hats require great considera
tion, anil fur removed from her cate
gory are fells wllh hard or vry high
crowns or prominent upstanding feath
ers. A ls?ll simply emphasizes the em
Isnipolnt of her wulst. Very narrow
skirls are quite Impossible, They
should be cut by a hand well accus
tomed to the art rnuiiiers ure quite
out of Hie question,
Tl lollies of the stout and ctderly
woman need a great deal of thought
One color should lie the distinguishing
fact of her whole toilet. One piece
gowns with a cape are better suited to
stout woi l Hum a long coat, but
they may console themselves with the
fuel that what they ought to wear Is
what constitutes the elements of good
dressing. If she makes a mistake In
costume It certainly bsilt worse on a
I stout woman than on a thin one, on
whom probably It would puss unno
ticed. Hrllllant Jet trimmings must bt
' worn with caution. Swaying fringes
ami tiissels are of all things to bo
I avoided. The stout woman Is wise If
alio chooses simple clothes and cure
fill combinations of colors und strictly
I avoids any gnrlshness.

Join the cape pin over the shoulder and

any unnecessary para 111 n, which Is apt
to be too thick In heavy places. The

and the same purallln may be used
again. Generally two dippings annually
give perfect satisfaction.

How to Mend Furniture.
Dry rot Is very common In old furni
ture, niul sometimes a piece is too good
to throw away. The weak part can be
strengthened lu this way: Scrape the
rotten wood from the piece of furni
ture, then spray the part with coal oil.
Make a mixture of beeswax, melted
rosin and sawdust and fill the holes.
This will harden and make perfect
wood cement If the wood Is a dark
mahogany color add some melted seal
ing wax to the mixture; keep it hot
when npplylng it to the wood. When
varnished It does not show the patch.
When a round breaks in a chair do
not remove the back or leg of the
chair, wherever the damage Is done.
Pull the round from the chair, repair if
it Is possible, then wlt.h an auger make
one of the holes a half Inch deeper.
This will allow the round to slip down
Into the deepened hole, after which the
opposite end can be lifted lu place and
glued.
The piece should He flut while drying,
or the round will slip out of place.
This saves the trouble of removing
other parts to remedy one small break.
.How to Remove Grease,
When grease Is spilled on a wooden
tablo pour cold water over It Immedi
ately. This will harden the grease
and prevent It from sinking Into the
wood. It can then be easily 'removed
with a kulfe.
