| ORPHEUM.-(Advanc Announcement)
1t is rare that so expensive an aggregation
of talent is gotten together as that booked
to appear this week. Indeed the manage
ment claims that not since its inception has
| the Orpheum been under contract to pay
so large a sum, collectively for week 5
salary roll. Gautier, the famous French
horse trainer. will absorb the lions share
| of that goodly salary fund. His perfgorm-
| ance costs the Orpheum $1,000 week. there
being, as sample expense item, eight ex-
| ira men required to set his intricate stage
| apparatus. His act with two trained
! horses is said to be novel and sensational
in the extreme and entirely new to the
stage. On a narrow, circular pedestal. set
| in the stages center, the superbly trained
animals are put through series Of intri-
cate evolutions to the accompaniment of
| fast waltz music. a single misstep would
send horse and rider hurting to the stage.
The element of danger is thus not lacking.
and this doubtless increases the sensation
alism of the performance.
( A number of new and talented people
will vie with Gautier for the first honors
on the bill. Prominent among these will
be Flson and Enrol, high class comedians.
