ANNOUNCEMENTS

Orpheum.-Vaudevill appears to be
the only amusement sufficiently attractive
to assure big audiences these days. The
Orpheum is bringing big novelties and
the crowded condition Of this theater
everyEni ight bellies the supposition that
this city. The Orpheum deals only in at
| fractions in lighter vein that are patrl Gu
| larly refreshing and notable in war
weather. The Jay Circus, with the great
| est programme of comedy specialties ever
seen here, packed the house during the
entire week and would without doubt
draw big audiences for another week,
| but owing to the numerous attractions
booked for the coming week the Circus
| is to be withdrawn after tonight in favor
OF some even greater novelties. The new
bill which goes on tomorrow night for
the first time is more varied than that
OF the past week and is greater in every
way.
The chief attraction among new fea-
lures announced is the Millar Brothers
Diorama, a magnificent scenic spectacle
consisting of granu collection OF views
of the great places OF the world, and me-
chancal pictures of scenes OF historic in
terest. The Diorama is an invention of
the Millar brothers and is the most beau
tiful scenic entertainment evel produced
on any stage. Among the many great
scenes to be presented next week Is a
naval engagement between Chinese and
| Japanese vessels during the recent war
an exact representation Of one OF those
! terrible sea fights in which the Chinese
pattleships we're sunk by the japanese
torpedo boats.
A wonderful feature of the performance
will be the novel and astonishing enter
tainmcnt given by Miss Scottie. phe-
nomenal Scotch collie with an education
superior TO that of many people. Miss
Scottie is q beautiful specimen of the
canine race. She is two aud dalf yeais
old and her education has been SO
| thorough that she possesses as many ac-
| com plishments as the up-to.date society
| girl, Miss ScUttie can do everything but
talk, and she comes very close to carrying
on q conversation with the assistance of
Iettered cards, with which she demon
strates her knowledge of orthogfaphy by
spelling simple words. She adds and
can distinguish colors. tell the time OF
day. play game of cards and do many
| things that would seem impossible for a
dumb creature to perform.
The prevalence OF comedy on the Or
| pheum bills helps in no small measure
| that it is. People like to laugh and there
are plenty of merry specialties on the
| new bill that are certain to evoke screams
| of laughter.
One OF the funny and at the same time
| a novel attraction will be the grotesque
shadow pantomine which will he present.
| ed by famous troupe of eccentricians,
the Punohinello family. Their entertain

| aginable and there is an element of mys-
terry about the performance that will ex-
| cite curiosity ana cause astonishment to
| every onlooker.
The great minstrel comedians, McIntlre
md plu haxrn hnnn rad
will be seen in one of the lnimitable
sketches OF plantation life that they know

this city. Their im personation of the
| darkey Of olden times is so lifelike, and
could readily be persuaded from their
performance into believing them gem
uine plantation hands and not the
imitation article.
O'DelI, the careless fellow. and Page.
the neat chap, are another team whose
performsnce stands out prominently;
