| The Orpheum. oil l-time patrons must
| have gasped with ASTONISHING W hen they
| glanced throu-b their Programs at the
| Orpheum last evening, and that section
of the audience which usually occupies
the pine cushioned seats just below the
| roof, must have wept silently in sorrow
at the. to tlem, sudden ueceneration OF
the stage, for the play bills during the
| present week do not contain the names
| OF single female serio-t omic. There IS
| also an ent re q absence OF tine partic liar
| feature of vaudeville entertainme at
known as knock-about soas-al did e
teams, or black face comedians Or artists
with German or Irish witt cisms. What
ever thece is this is doue oy the Goth
am City quartet, who appear early. and
by the Orion trio, who do clever act
after the style OF the Hnnlcn brothers with
their trick doc and windows. In place
OF these several dishes OF the usual exc
cellent variety. Manager Petrcb has as
his star performers Oviae Musin he violin
virtuoso. his wife Annie Louise Mus 1,
prima donna contralto. soprano. and Ed-
ward schsrf pianist. The house was
packed last night from pit to dome.
Musin Is a master. His music breathes
the gypsy passion of the scout land. 1t is
tantalizingiy fiery an weiredly power
Jul 1t quickens the pulse and br' ataes
of the Svsneali who hyPnotized Triloy.
The gallery last nisht did not enjo7
Musin. There is nothing in the skirt
dance in either the DOW. the instrumtn
or the master who has such oomplets con-
troll of both.
The gallery would much rather have
bad comic song or some dancing step
wito New York or San Francisco artist
or a French twirl and none OF these
things being forthcoming the gallery was
inclined at times I, show its teeth. There
was me noise and other tokens OF dis
approval while Musil AID the two
| artists \ his company were ont, but
these were soon suppressed. The baianc
of the adle &c enjoyed tue many brilliant
| nun bers rendered and could not get
enough Of them.
| Annie Louise Musin possesses sweet
| " sympathetic voice which makes up in
! evennrss and rotundIty what it lacks in
volume and power, wn'la the touch nj
uard Scharf and his thorough mastery
of the piano lett nothing to be desired.
There was brilliancy all through this
portion of the piogram and encores were
demanded In every instance.
The regular vaudeville portion OF the
house bill is during the present week Of
unsual excellence. The whole will con-
tinue until next Monday evening.
Z &
Burbank-The Frawley com pany last
night again demonstrated that they are
an aggregation CF very clever people. The
Arabian Nights is one Of those comedies
which. in tue hands OF moon petent act
or., means a fsilure to please, set when
played bv artists is quite another matter.
1t is a comedy calling for something
more than the speaking of the lines. The
words require with them the action,
pose and gesture peculiar to actors wac
are something more-artlsts. All this
the Frawley company did, and in their
hands Arabian Nights is bundle OF
| laughter which at first breaks out in
! dr. bbes and gathers force until it de-
| luees the audience. Put pug dog and
| baby in 1t and it would make another Con-
| fusion which in its day was the funniest
| comedy on the stage. One delicious thing
| abont Arabian highs is that the whole
OF the third art is not devoted to straight
| enine out the com I'll cations and entan-
| elements OF the first two acts. slight
| attempt is made to set matters Alright.
| and Just As one thinks the end in sigLt
| the con essions and fabrications of Mr..
| Huntington fall to pieces and Thugs
