Another fine bill begins at the Or

that one of the funniest acts ever seen
in this house will be that by Filson
| and Enrol, who have scored a great
| hit. They are known to Orpheum pa
irons as the "quarreling couple" which
| sobriluet they gained from the fact
| that the sketch pictures a quarrel be-
! tween man and wife. 1t is said that
wives induce their husbands to see the
act Of the quarreling couple. and hus-
/ bands in turn invite their wives to do
| likewise. A different kind of fun is by
| Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Mcintosh, a col
ored couple, who confne their efforts
to straight comedy in which they excel.
/ Some very funny work is expected from
/ Smith and Cook, known as the Mil
/ lionares" Their act is made up of
witty repartee, songs, acrobatic feats
and few fancy steps and no end of
| fun. Other promised good things are
/ Webb and Hassan, for whom it is
! guaranteed that no such acrobatic act
| of its kind has yet appeared at the Sac
ramento Orpheum. Their work is con-
/ fined to hand balancing and head to
! head work which is characterized not
| only by the difficult work, but by the
ease and grace with which it is done.
/ Carrie Scott. character artist, appears
/ in specialties which have made her 4
j favorite in Eastern vaudeville houses
| Miriam AinsWorth, the Australian sing
| ing and dancing soubrette, appears i'll
/ her novel specialties, in which she is
! said to be very clever. George II.
/ Wood, who styles himself The Some
! what Different Comedian" appears in
a monologue turn. in which he intro
/ duces many clever things. He comes
with the most fattering Eastern press
! notices and is said to give one of the
| best monologue turns that has been
seen on this circuit. The bill taken in
| it's entirety promises to be the most
| complete one, and, it is predicted, will
prove much stronger than even the
exceedingly good bill of last week.
| At the metropolitan Theater Thurs

! At 1.-The metropolitan Theater April
| Sth we are to have the new farce-com-
edy, THE Mysterious Mr.. Bugle,' writ
| ten by Madeline Lucette Ryley author
! of christopher, Jr." The complica-
tions are generally ingeniously contriv-
! ed and are really funny. Mrs. Ryley's
| farce also has the important merit of
| holding together until the end. instead
| of going all TO pieces in the last act,
as so often happens Indeed, some of
| Mrs. Ryley's best work is done near
| the end The farce is very cleverly
and emypathetically played. and JOS
| eph Holland in his impersonation of
| Tom Pollinger, expresses the humor of
/ the character with much discernment
and unfailing effectiveness.

! ed San Francisco girl. is now with the

in California in the near future.

here shortly in "A Naval Cadet" has

/ of receipts, and in some places extra
matinees are given.
