not fail to meet with popular favor. In

Galettis monkey comedians are down
for turn, which is assurance of a
great laughing treat. They are the
funniest lot of animals ever seen at the
Orpheum, and will be as welcome as
though appearing for the first time.

program will be the turn of Cushman and

Stuart, the male Patti, is down for
new lot of songs and incidentally for
another display of beautiful gowns.
RONALD brothers, the famous equili-
brists and hand-to-hand and head-to-
head balancers, give the last excellent
act to the excellent show.
