!. y p
Orpheum Theatre--It would be diff
cult for patrons of this popular house
to conceive IL much more attractive Dill
than that presented this week. There
is an entire change of programme, with
the exception of the performance of the
Corty brothers. of which the patrons of
the house never seem to tire. They
present the same bill as last week, end
ing up with tnelr wrestling Hidlcil, W A'iI
always sends the house into roars of
laughter
Bruet and Riviere give some very fine
limitations of favorite instruments. One
particularly popular feature being an
excellent imitation of cat fight, which
delighted the hearts of the gods and
evoked rounds of applause.
The MarVelleS accomplish some Won
derful acrobatic feats, giving every one
the impression that bones are things en-
tirely unknown in their physical make
up. Their performance is unique, and
one of the best of it's kind ever seen at
this house, where wonderful acrobatic
performances are the rule.
The Nawns who have always been
favorites here gave an amusing Irish
sketch. followed by La Bella Carmen, who
disports her shapely figure in a series of
difficult performances on tight wire.
The much heralded Segommer intro
duces his puppets, which he makes to
perform in so mastery n manner as to
almost delude the audience into the
belief that they are animate beings. Be-
sides the work with his puppets, Segom-
mer gives some very fine animal imita-
tions. some clever lightning sketches of
Well-knoWn characters, which fairly
bring down the house.
Miss Rosie Rendel executed number
of clever dances with many and rapid
changes of costume.
The performance ended with the aero
batic balancing of Adonis Ames, whose
work is fully up to the standard re-
quired by Orpheum patrons.
A number of acrobats and contor-
tionists have been seen in this house,
but none quite come up to Adonis Annes.
He might we'll be called the boneless
wonder. There will be an extra matt
nee today, at which the full bill will be
produced.
