Well Balanced Cast Headed by Sothern and Marlowe Gives Excellent Presentation of Shaksperean Drama

"Two Vagrants," the headline act at B. F. Keith's Theatre this week, can be classed as one of the best in vaudeville. Assisted by Arthur Hartley, William Foran, Helen Patterson, and a sextet of pretty girls. William and Gordon Dooley keep the audience laughing almost continually. These two brothers who are unusually versatile comedians appear first as vagrants in the court room scene, then as electricians who undertake to wire the house of a newly-wed couple, and finally as the leading man and "woman" in a Turkish harem.

Although the act is quite long, the interest is maintained through the efforts of the Dooley Brothers who execute their pantomine and burlesque very cleverly. The singing and dancing of the chorus girls is much superior to the usual vaudeville standard.

The other acts on the bill suffer in comparison with the "Two Vagrants" but all are entertaining. Mr. Levy, a cartoonist, draws some unusual sketches Miss Ruby Norton presents a repertoire of songs which are well received; and the Equilli brothers perform some equilibrium stunts which leave the audience gasping.
