up OF the cleverest and most amusing lot
of specialties ever put together in one
performance in this city. The Fabianu

dances and picturesque costumes, are a
DECIDED novelty. They sing well and
dance with a grace that is captivating.

best team of singers ever seen on the Or.
pheum stage. Both are finished vocal
O'Brien is a great clog dancer. Their
new song, And the Band Played On, first
sung here by them Monday night, is
fetching melody that is already being
whistled and sung about town. More

pie this week, do strong novelty act IN.
PRODUCING solo duet and trio singing and
great dance by Miss Thompson. Mr..
Bush, the baritone, is extremely clever
in the character of a society matron. His
makeup is perfect and were he to remain
silent the illusion would be conf lete.

keeps the audience roaring with laughter
at his witty sayings and bright topical
songs. Gilbert and Goldie, the universal
favorites. do great Irish specially.
The engagement of this popular team ter
inmates Sunday night. Nicholas Cebal-

music-loving patrons of the house will
be pleased at the announcement of the
engagement of Dion Romandy and his
famous Hungarian orchestra, who will
take the place of the present orchestra
next Monday night. The orchestra will
