ORPHEUM.-Of the theatrical amuse-
mentS this week the new bill at the Or
pheum may be rated among the best.
The management has arranged pro-
gram of superior attractions from
which 1t expects to receive the most per-
feet show that it has yet been able to
offer it's patrons. 1t will be long bill
of wholesome and uproarious fun, mixed
with some very good music and aero
batic performances and clever special
ties. In fact, there will be a little OF
everything, not too much of any
thing and all the very best of its
kind. Comedy will be the ruling feature,
not ordinary fun, but diversified comedy,

full art. bright and spicy and up-to-date.
One of the biggest features will be the
celebrated English comedy trio, the
brothers Horn, assisted by the eminent
little comedienne, Joe Reeves This
well known combination ranks among
the greatest vaudeville teams of ,the
world. They are one of the highest
salaried teams In the business, and are
considered by theatrical managers big
drawing card. Their sketch Is one that
is universally popular, not alone because
1t Ii varied in its makeup, but because
of the individual merit Of each per-
former. They are all artists Of the first
rank, and they combine their fun-mak-
ing powers in producing one of the
breeziest, most enjoyable turns ever
conceived. They present a series ct
graphic impersonation Of typical Eng
lish characters, including the London
shoeblack, newsboys, society swell.
do some lively, eccentric dancing also,
and conclude their spirited act with the
most screamingly funny cyclonic box

Horn and pretty Joe Reeves are bound
to strike the popular fancy, and II they
meet with the same success that they
did In San Francisco the whole town
will be talking Of them tomorrow night.
with them on the program a good show
Us assured; and we predict for them the
biggest kind of hit.
Herr Grais and his little circus will run
close second for popular favor, for
they are also top liners. with worlds
record for making people lose buttons
Herr Grais' circus consists Of a
wicked little donkey, an acrobatic
baboon and several mischdevous
monkeys. Every one Of the animals are
trained to a degree of almost human in
telligence, and they unite in giving
.rousing flne act. Donkey, ape and
monkeys, all are comedians, or seem
to be, for 1t Is difficult to imagine any
thing more comical than their ludicrous
antics. and they keep an audience roar
ing while they fill them with surprise
that mere brutes should be SO clever.
Their performance is not at all like
the ordinary exhibition of trained ami
mails, but is breezy and full Of life and
replete With sensational features that
astonish and delight.
The two giant aCrOootS, Johnson and
Lundin, will present a wonderful exhibl- :
ton of muscular strength, juggling and
| lifting heavy weights and performing
other seemingly impossible feats AS a
| climax to their phenomenal act, Mr..
Lundin will support the weight Of from
Is to 20 men on his chest. This is con-
sidered by athletes the greatest test of
endurance and strength ever given by
q man, and will be notable event to
| witness.
Clayton and Jenkins, the merry
knock-about comedians and their lively
donkey, Jasper, who created so much
fun last week With their humorous ski.,
Rube's circus, have . new production
tina 10 Just % amusing - the first ana
promises to make even as great q hit.
Les Travehes will repeat their splen-
did photographic act. Introducing new
and pleasing variations. Not the
least enjoyable part Of the program will
be the ventriloQuial act Of the clever
artist, Charles Colby and his pretty
assistant. Allie Way
Her. Burk and Belmar wind up the fun
with rollicking novelty turn Of music
and tumbling.
The new bill presents as fine an array
Of vaudeville talent as we have ever seen
on one program, and the prospects arc
that the result will be a smashing fine
show.
Increased business and the uncom-
Portable crowding of the night perform
ances has led the management to give
one more performance week. Hence
forth. besides the regular Saturday ant
Sunday matinees. Wednesday afternoon
performances will be given.
