AMUSES AT KEENEY’S I None of the musical comedies pre- sented by the Fields Brothers Stock company. since their advent in this city measure up to “Dutch Justice,” an amusing version of “The Sapho Trial,” which is holding the boards at Keeney’s this week. The act keeps | the audience almost convulsed with laughter from the minute the Fields brothers put in appearance until the final curtain. ‘It is nearly a hysterical | crowd that clamors for more after the canvasis dropped for the “movies.” The Fields and their supporters are vigorously applauded and the audi- ence unanimously agrees that it is “the best yet.” The company has put on a number of clever pieces, but none of them furnished near as mu wholesome amusement as does the court burlesque which they are now presenting. From the time court is called until the session closes the audience has a continuous laugh and at times some of the patrons almost roll out of their seats, their risibilities provoked to such an extent that they lose con- trol of themselves, The Fields are ably assisted by Harry Jackson, the young Hebrew comedian, whose work has been a big contributing factor in the success of the piece. Jackson furnishes much of the comedy and also does Tis share of the singing. The Shaw sisters continue to find favor with the audience. Admirers of the Fields, who have not been to Keeney’s this week, will miss a real treat unless they see them before Saturday night. Their act alone is easily worth the admission price charged. Comedy predominates in all tae acts this weel and there is a laugh every second. The Four Musical Kleises play entertainingly, but it is the comedy of one of the juvenile members of their quartet that puts them in the running with other turns, “Vacation Days” is anether big seream, It is a school room act with some unique features and it goes big every day.. Hutchinson and Barry hold up in action and the interest of | have a song and conversational turn that pleases, and Rawl, comedy jug- gler, does some clever stunts, inter- spersing comedy of a pleasing brand.

Sarah Bernhard: Soon to Be Operated On MME. SARAH Paris, Feb. 18.—A report reached here from Bordeaux that Mme.

The re- port created a sensation, as Mme. Bernhardt is in her seventieth year. She was born here on October 23, BERNHARDT 1845. A despatch from Bordeaux says the operation had not been performed owing to Mme. Bernhardt's weakness. The great actress went to Bordeaux to undergo ansexamination by eminent surgeons as to the necessity of an cperation.

While the exact! age of this antiquated buss is not known it is at least 100 years old and there are many evidences it is nearly 150. The coach is the pro- perty of Paul C. Ney of Hartford and Farmington and its appearance on the stage has caused widespread interest and comment. The coach has been seen on the street with little Rebecea's trunk on board and this too ‘has caused much comment as to the age of the old wagon. It is, in reality, older than the one which the original producers of “Rebecca of Sunny- brook Farm” used and which they secured in Maine.
