lem by Uncle Tom and the death of Eva
requiem hymns blythe quartet, the death
Of St. Clair and of dear old Uncle Tom.
One OF the finest spectacular set pieces
ever constructed for any stage produce
ton will be the beautiful aIlegorical
transformation of the gates ajar with
Eva in heaven. The jubilee quartet is
one of the best. and great attention is
being given TO the musical selections for
the week Manager Pearson will at
tempt to make this the finest and most
complete production of Uncle Tom s
Cabin ever presented in the west.
ORPHEUM-Th Orpheum manage
ment may always be depended upon to
furnish an excellent show One good bill
succeeds another as regularly as the
weeks roll around.
The bill which goes on tomorrow night
is considered the very best the Orpheum
has yet been able to offer it's patrons 1t
Will be one of those supreme comedy
shows for which this house Is now be-
coming famous, with a personnel that
all theater goers will recognize as Of the
highest standard
Prominent on the bill are the three
euphonious names, Ara, Zebra and Vora,
representing to those familiar with the
business, the greatest European aero
batic team of the day These famous old
world stars are making tour of this
country engaging only at the biggest
theaters, on account of the enormous
expense of securing them.
They are billed as the nonpareil trio
the premier pyramidists and pedepulists
of the world AS team they are wonder
fully clever, for each member is a mas
ter of his art. Ara, the leader Of the
trio. Is none other than the famous
Henry Balcombe. who has the greatest
reputation of any tumbler in Europe.
Zebra is also an old timer of great Prov
ess. Vora is known in private life as
Mrs. Henry Balcombe. She is the young
est sister OF the celebrated Mosers. These
daring performers have an act proper
tiOnate to their greatness.
The next number, which is furnished d
by Edmund Hayes and Emily Lytton,
than whom there were few more popular
stars on the legitimate stage, is as good
as drama. In fact, it savors strongly
of the dramatic and can hardly be
classed as vaudeville. A French Mar
riage. 1t is called, and, as the title sug-
gests, Is a breezy piece full of startling
situations. 1t is not vaudeville sketch,
properly speaking, but Is rather COM
edietta. 1t is, in truth, a whole drama,
boiled down to one act and presented
by artists alone, two former leading
people, without the deteriorating effect of
q
supernumeraries.
From such sterling artists as Hayes
Lytton and Hayes, with such splendid
production as A French Marriage, a
magnificent treat may be expected.
Harrison and Clayton are two new
corners from whom is expected a roar
ing good turn. Harrison is known as
the American Albert Chevalier, on ac-
count of his genius for coster songs and
character studies.
George Clayton is one of London's s
favorite soubrettes. Theirs will be a
bright number on an exceptionally
bright program
Charles Wayne, late comedian of the
Lillian Russell Opera company, will ex-
plode big budget of brand new jokes
and breezy songs. Wayne is the greatest
monologuist on the vaudeville stage to-
day.
Hallen and Fuller, also two former
stars of the legitimate stage, are down
for a new comedy sketch entitled, A
Fair Exchange The two Bostons, with
their jolly medley of fun and exciting
Spanish bull fight, will add a strong
feature to the show Anna Caldwell,
the pretty little serio comic, is also in
cluded among this weeks attractions.
The great Busch, the golden vampire,
completes the excellent program
The two usual performances will be
given today. the new bill going on to-
morrow night.
