as the amusing d'Marsillac, and Carleton,
jr.. as the volatile king, certainly make q
cast that 1t would be hard to improve upon.
Correct costumes have been received from
New York and the chorus augmented. The
sale OF seats is very large. and numerous
theater parties have been formed for the
coming week.
The new bill at the Orpheum will be a
strong one, and will be heightened by an
extra act. making eight turns in all. After
considerable telegraphinR back and forth
Charles b. Ward las managed to postpone
his eastern engagements so as to remain at
the Orpheum another week. OF the new
bill three of the turns are by new people
and i've by the best of those on the bill of
the past week.
Miss Gertie Carlisle, the wonderful child
actress, will appear. Though very young,
in fact mere child, Miss Carlisle has al
ready demonstrated her ability as an act.
ress. She is possessed of a charming per-
sonality and has very sweet voice, which
she has cultivated to marked degree, and
yet it retains the sweet notes peculiar to
childhood. In San francisco she won the
highest praises from the musical and dra-
matte critics. Her impersonations are
particularly good and true to life. Basco
and Roberts, the comedians, will appear
in the comedy sketch that gave them fame
while with the Tony Pastor company. As
comedians they are said to rank with Stu
art Robson. Their sketch is said to be
very funny, in fact to be short farce
comedy, mostly the best work of Charles
Hoyt. The Kins-Ners will appear in their
great act on the horizontal bar. Louis
kins has been in the acrobatic line since
childhood; in fact he was born to the busi-
ness. His father was an old.time acrobat
and took Louis in hand at an esrly date.
Mr. KiOa rafhar IF tat t,,r< hut <,r,s,
must not judge of his strength by his size,
for he is said TO be young Sandow in that
line. This is demonstrated by his work.
The Kins-Ners do one of the best acrobatic
acts on the horizontal bars ever seen here.
Charles B. Ward now controls. by pur-
chase. all the songs composed and sung by
Raymond Moore, and he will include some
OF the best of these. as we'll as one or two
of his own composition, in his repertoire
this week. Mr.. Ward has made many
friends since his engagement here, both in
social and professional way. He has
been retained at heavy expense, but the
Orpheu'n management feel warranted in
doing this, As he ID a notable addition to an
already strong bill. Among the songs he
will sing are Dear Louise and Brother JON
athan. The latter is by the author of
Daisy Bell, and Mr.. Ward sings it for the
first time in public.
AlburtuS and Bartram, the college boys.
exhibition of club swinging and juggling.
The work OF this team is by far the best
ever seen here. To attempt to follow them
through all their movements only proves
more clearly than ever that the hand can
move much more quickly than the eye can
follow. There is an easy grace about their
work that makes 1t all the more attractive.
The Andersons will remain but one more
week. and no one wants to miss seeing this
great negro team. Their dances are right
from the Mississippi levee and are charac-
terized by all the movements peculiar to
the old plantation negro. AL Anderson
says that he is swarm baby" and the
public coincide with him in the statement.
Frank La Mondue will put on sketch
which he calls Fun on a Clothesline, and
in which he does some very clever work on
the slack wire and introduces some fun as
! clown.

which Miss Wills does some very clever
vocalisms. She has q soprano voice of
Mr.. Collins will play . comedy part to
