AT THE THEATERs

The Orpheum. The bill this week is
again vaudeville better than good.
and the house last night was large and
enthusiastic. Bloxsom and Burns are
on again with their funny specially, in
which one Of the features consists OF sail
ing through the air IN an invisible barrel
suspended from flying UNI mbrella, all of
which suddenly colapses and deposits
one OF the sporty boys on the stage. Miss
Tillie Morrissey appeared again in an
other very pretty gown and sang three
bullads very charmingly. Bartlett and
May, the first OF the new people, won the
house with their funny entrance. and
Bartlett proved himself an artist in his
line. His length OF limb and remarkable
suppleness, that amounts almost to bone-
unique as they are wonderful. Miss May
is very vivacious dancer, and serves as
an admirable foil i'll all ways to the loose
jointed man. The Savans are as clever, as
neat and as clean cut as any acrobats that
have appeared here. Their work is per-

position and at all angles; walks up and
down stairs with her standing on his
seat and back of a chair. one of the
rounds of the chair between his teeth.
She balances the crown of her head on

again mounts the stairs, .and descending

refined and brilliant piece of acrobatic
work. Gilbert and Goldie. the favorites.
who delighted their audierces with a
great plantation sketch few weeks ago,
are back with sde-splitting skit in
which large percentage of the jokes
were absolutely of this years vintage.
and this whole thing was great joke in
itself. They also appeared ! n farce at
active snail, Mr.. Gilbert as an example Of
most le!hargic chain lightning, and Mr..
Bartlett as u much harrassed professor,
kept the house i'll shrieks of laughter.
Whitney brothers, Il novelty team OF mus

effects with different kinds of bells and
musical instruments. AS Il whole the

every seat in the house. 1t is the first
time a representation of the play has been
seen here and the players in it did well ;
they did themselves credit and did not
fail TO justify the expectations of the large
audience. Mr.. Berch gives an admirable
personation OF Harry Glynden and he
has much in his method that fits the role.
The audience enjoyed the conscientious
and earnest way in which Miss Rose Still
man presented the character of Naome.
George Woodthorpe with her usual clever
acting gives to the part OF Ned, cabin
boy. Il good deal of effect. The scenery is
very good. especially the revolving scene.
It is an excellent piece of stage work.
The lock step march was justly appreci-
ared. The electrical effects were splen-
duly handled. The play is a strong one
and is full of sensational scenes and
situations. 1t promises to draw big houses
every evening during the week with a
matinee on Saturday.
