B. F. Kerry’s THEATRE. 
America’s loveliest woman, Miss 
Lillian Russell, who has not appeared 
in Boston in over two years, will be 
the headline attraction at B. F. Keith’s 
Theatre the week of April 3. Miss 
Russell is not'only the famous beauty 
who has solved the problem of per- 
petual youth and beauty, but as the 
Queen of Comic Opera, she enjoys a 
niche all by herself in the history of 
the American stage. Miss Russell 
will sing some of ‘her’ favorite songs. 
Second only in importance to Miss 
Russell will be the appearance of 
Elsie Pilcer and Dudley Douglas, with 
the most remarkable and lifelike imi- 
tation of Gaby Deslys ever seen on 
any stage. 
WitBur THEATRE, Boson. 
“Hobson’s Choice” continues its 
merry career at Ye Wilbur Theatre, 
and starts on its fourth successful 
week next Monday evening, April 3. 
Tt is an always refreshing, always de- 
lightful comedy. One does not have 
to seek far to find the reason for the 
great popularity of “Hobson's 
Choice.” Much-of it lies in its clean, 
honest humor, which is not too subile 
even for the tired business man, and 
yet never broad enough to be vulgar.

SHUBERT THEATRE, Boston. 
Next Monday evening, April < 
Messrs; Shubert will present at the 
Shubert Theatre a new Viennese 
operetta, the latest from the pen of 
Franz Lehar, entitled “Alone at 
LAS. OL the third week in Boston. 
This operetta, which has already met 
with great success as “Endlich Allein” 
in Vienna, Rome, Berlin and Buda- 
pest, has been hailed by the European 
critics as the most pretentious work 
Lehar has as: yet written. They de- 
clared the musical score to be richer 
in melody th a either “The Merry 
Widow” or “The Count of Luxem- 
burg.” New oc has also endorsed 
this verdict. The operetta is in three 
acts, the scenes being laid at Inter- 
laken, Switzerland. The second act 
is divided into three acts, showing the 
base, the slopes and the summit of 
the Jungfrau.
