At the end of each scene and act, as
there was no curtain, the lights were eX-

large audience with some very pretty,
lively numbers that were we'll performed

Orpheum. There is really remarkable
bill on at the Orpheum this week. The
performance Is amusing and interesting
and every feature is superior one. The
marvellous, mystifying entertainment
given by Mons. Guibal and Mile. Lillye
Ortiz is nut for students of psychology
TO crack. Mons. Guibal claims to have
made an Advancement over mesmerism,
hypnotism proper as well as pathology.
He suDdues Mile. Ortiz to his will and
placing himself in immediate communi-
cation with his audience he makes her
absolutely subservient to them. So much
so that she becomes mere slave in their
hands and readily bends herself to their
wishes, however complex or varied. No
signs are made through the performance,
not word is spoken and yet with closed
eyes Mile. Ortiz goes here and ther

addition to this great feature is an arrav
OF vaudeville artists with EXCEPTIONAL tai
ents to please. The metropolitan Three
a vocal trio of superior merit, give an
artistic and original musical ientertain-
ment. a capital grotsque sketch is con-
tributed by Crimmins and Gore whose
very appearance is conducive to pro-
longed laughter. Lilly Mason has

bert ana Goldie and Farnum and Sey-
mour. old favorites, are gaining new
laures in their new specialitles. Vacant
seats are scarce at every performance and
crowded houses will doubtless prevail all
week. The usual matinees Saturday and
Sunday.
The BuTbank-Jane is drawing big
audiences every evening, and the advance
sale of seats indicates crowded houses
every night this week. The Frohman
company, with Miss Anna Parker IN the
title role, is doing some acceptable act
ing. The entire cast is exceptionally fine.
Miss Parker is the best Jane seen here.
The play keeps one in good humor from
the moment the curtain goes up until the
final ringing down. The stage settings
are we'll handled and altogether the piece
is by lar the best thing seen at this house
this year, and that Is SAYING q great
deal. On Sunday evening The Colonel's
Wives will receive its initial production
in this city under the personal direction
of Mr. Sciley Broyn. the author, a gen.
tleman who is very clever playwright
and who has written several very success
full stage pieces. The play will be given
this week and will be the last week of
the engagement of the Frohman com.
pany, which is playing such a successful
engagement in this city.
