MAJESTIC TH EAT HE.
A Bunch of Keys—Feb. 13.
For twenty-two consecutive seasons
Charles H. Hoyt's "A Bunch of Keys"
has toured the principal cities of this
conutry and instead of the. play show
ing any diminution in its drawing pow
ers, grows more popular with each suc
ceeding year. This fact, however, may
be easily accounted fo.", from the fact
that the farce itself is more than ordin
arily good, the lines bright and witty,
the situations grotesquely funnv. the
music catchy, but that the musical fea
tures, the interpolation, up to-datc spec
ialties. The latest songs and vaude
