Friday and Saturday, with Saturday
matinee August 5th, 9Th and 7th, will be
| presented Charles H. Yales magnificent
production, THE Twelve Temptations"

tion does not admit of the fainteet shad-
ow of doubt. 1t is $4,000 production.
entirely new in every respect and thor
oughly up to date, even to the smallest
items. The wondrous scenery and daz-
zling costumes alone cost small for
tune, the grand transformation set,
"Davy Jones Locker" being pro-
nounced the most imposing and beauti-
full effect of the kind yet exhibited on the
American stage. The trick scenes over
flow with new devices for fun n-making,
and the paraphernalia and appointments
are acknowledged as beyond compari-
son. The ballets will absolutely astound
all beholders, "The Four Seasons" 1.-The
Reigning Female Fads," ''The National
Trio Issues" and the improved SHAFT of
Light" being miracles of terpsichorean
| art, and engaging the services of famous
Italian premiers, Signoritas Ferrero and
Basseggio, who will have the potent aid
| of the largest and most complete corps de
ballet ever organized, it is said. In
tensely funny features of song and dance
abound, as, for instance, Mr. Yale's
"Over the Bridge" All in Row." THE
| Coming Women and the Going Men."The
set for the first of these represents the
Brooklyn side of he East river, with
| Brooklyn bridge, the Fulton street ferry
| house and ferry boats and other craft
moving to and fro upon the stream. Inc
usual procession Of odd individuals goes
across the bridge,a as each person ap-
pearshe orsthe Is appropriately described
in a verse of the ditty Battery Park,
anoher song in Mr. Yale's repertoire of
curious and taking musical conceits, will
also be sung. The telling specialties in
clude the Rosairies, in acrobatic feats;
the Elliott brothers in an exciting box
ing bout; John Harty, in puzzling Jug
Cling feats; Josie Sisson and Gus Bruno,
jr., in their "Chanson Characteristique'
and Rose Kesner as 1.-THE Giddy Old
Maid" Besides the above talent, the
following artists are in the dramatic
cast: Miss Caroline Rudolph, Madge
Torrance, Leila Hutton, Annie Courtney,
Charles H. Henry and numerous others.

ORPHEUM-(Advan Anouncement.)
This house has rarely known such a run
as it had last week with the standing
room only" sign displayed nightly, and a
glance at it's new bill for next week
makes it almost safe to predict a repet-
tion of that weeks business during the
next 1t is a splendid program all the
way through, with new featuresNand the
best of last weeks favorites, every one
of whom is star. 1t affords all sorts
of entertainment, from the richest COM
edy to the best of music. Probably the
strongest feature of the newcomers is
Miss Imogene Conner, who has been
styled by the eastern press the "Queen
regent of descriptive singers" She pos
sesses the unusual compass of basso,
an alto and baritone, forming one of
the most beautiful contraltos ever heard
on the vaudeville stage. She is endowed
with most striking and attractive per-
sonalty, and is graceful in every action,
pose and gesture. To her is due the sue
cess of hundreds of populars songs. Next
on the bill, but fully as strong in his spe-
cialty is Mr.. Harry LIE Clair, the cele-
| brated Burlesque artist, in his new
sketch, People You Meet in Life" Mr.
LIE Clair is quite we'll and favorably
known to the patrons of this house, hav-
/ some two years ago. His dresses are
said to be many and elegant, some OF
| them perfect creations of the art of
modern dressmaking. Another prime
attraction will be that child wonder,
Baby Lewis, in her very charming sing
ing and dancing specialtes. Lew Dock
stader came for week only, but jumped
into popularity so quickly and thorough
ly that the management has induced
him to remain with us another week.
Smith & Fuller will ring out new music
from their bamboo bells and marimbo-
phone Mr.. Eckert will sing tenor solo,
from mariana" and Miss Berg solo,
"He Will Return" and both duet from
Don Quixote" Perry and Burns in
new Irish songs and jokes will prove as
popular as last week, while Miss Lillian |
Perry in new Terpschorean steps will
renew her success The usual Wednes-
day, Saturday and Sunday matinees.
