In no other of his plays has Shake
speare introduced so much genuine fun
as in "Tho Taming of tho Shrew."
Tho poet appears to have abandoned
himself to a work of unrestrained
hilarity, in recognition of tho maxim,
"A little nonsene now and then is
relished by the' wisest men." "The
Taming of tho Shrew" has long been a
favorite play with Charles B. Hanford,
whoso eminence as a representative
tragedian is so well established that he
can condescend to this unreservedly
merry'mood without loss of dignity
Hanford a3 Petruchio is one of the
stalwart figures of the modern drama.
Tho play is a classic of fun, nnd he has
realized the principal character in a
manner which preserves both its
humor and its dramatic interest. The
character of Katherino is ono of the
most dazzling of Shakespeare's
feminine creations and in It Miss Marie
Drofnah has won a celebrity which
makes her appearance in it an event of
great theatric interest. Mr. Han
ford's production of this play,
elaborate and complete in every re
spect will be offered at the Keith
theatre on Monday, April 11th.

Concert Friday Evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Burt P. McKinnie,
of St. Sainte Marie, Mich., are in tho
city and will givo a musical recital at
tho Keith next Friday evening. Mr.
and Mrs. McKinnie have boon making
a tour of n number of tho western
states and in each town in which thoy
appeardd they havo captivated their
audiences and received very favorable
mention by tho press. They recently
appeared in a return engagement at
Keurney and the Daily Hub gave them
this notice:
Mr. and Mrs. Burt P. McKinnie, who
have been visiting Rev. and Mrs. Ma
Ewin, gave a concert program at tho
Presbyterian church on Monday oven
ing as a benefit to the Young People's
society Qf the church. Mr. McKinnie
has a deep, resonant baritone voico of
good range, and Mrs. McKinnio is
soprano with a voico of sweetness and
power and of great operatic possibili
ties. In the popular analysis, tho best mu
sic is the music that pleases best, and
the program was certainly very pleas
ing throughout. In a program so well
balanced it is difficult to make distinc
tions. In "I Am Thine Forever," by
Schlesinger, Mrs. McKinnie excelled
nnd her Swedish folk songs were cs
pecinlly pleasing.. Mr. McKinnio'a
"Tho Brigand," by Spence, was a
splendid interpretation of the descrip
tive ballad, but "The Gypsy Lovo
Song," by Herbert, wan very beautl
ful and deserving of encore that fol
lowed. There were numorous encores
Those who were no fortunate aB to bo
present have renson to thank the Pres
byterian young people and the Mc Kin
nies for the evening's musical treat.
