Mir. James J. Corbett and MT. Tod Sloan will be dined on Monday by Mile Anna Held. After dinner MT. Corbett will appear for the first time in his native city at the Columbia Theater in the title part>of "A Naval Cadet" MT. Cor bett's part calls for fierce melodramatic acting and accomplished pugilistlcs.
 The hero's name is Ned Cornell; he has a foster sister. whom Bonivarre. the villain, marries. while Ned is at the Naval Academy. Bonivarre has just deserted a wife and child in Paris. Ned wins the hatred of the villain. who in turn steals the plans of a machine gun which Ned has invented while at An napolis. Tn looking up the past history Of Bonivarre Ned discovers that the deserted wife had died in time to legal ize the marriage of the villain to his foster sister. Bonivarre learns that the sister has fallen heir to rich properties. and he buries her in an underground den in Paris, where, after many mighty adventures. comes Ned.

Orpheum.

With the opening Of Kansas City and St. Louis the Orpheum circuit be- came the largest vaudeville combina- tion in the country. For this week ths mana cement is able to announce six new turns.
 Some startling work in the acrobatic line is expected from the Five Whirl- winds, a troupe of Arabian acrobats. who have but recently appeared in this country. Comedy features. however, predominate in the new bill. for each of the new turns is humorous, with the exception of the acrobatic act, and even this contains several grotesque feats. Watson, Hutchings & Edwards head the list of funmakers, with Ger man sketch, entitled "The Dramatic Agent" It is said that there are but few better German comedians than Harry Watson. and that Miss Hutch ings is excellent in songs, dances and soubrette work and Edwards good In tramp parts. Montgomery & Stone are black-face comedians. George H. Wood does monologue and the Glisandos, grotesque musical clowns, introduce some funny work on the banjo and other instruments. Carrie Scott will appear in monologue turn. intro ducing songs, dances and character changes.

Baldwin.

Anna Held, "The Cat and the Che rub" and "A Gay Deceiver"-this trinity of novelties will be the offer ing at the Baldwin Theater for the next two weeks. commencing tomorrow night The entertainment will open with The Cat and the Cherub." This is dramatiZation by Chester Bailey Fernald of his original story of the same name, which first appeared in the Century Magazine. IL portrays life and character in our Chinatown. as seen and understood by the Anglo Saxon mind. It is said that the play brings out the Celestial racial peculiar ities with peculiar vividness. The pas sion of paternal love for offspring, the passion of filial devotion to a father; the tranquil ownership of a fe male slave, body and soul: the cool, nerveless. deliberate pursuit of yen- geance by philosopher: the contemp- uous indifference to the life Of an en- emy-these all have flavor which IS distinctly American.
 In the chief personality, Wing Shee. a learned Chinese doctor, the cynicisrn. skepticism, sangfroid and subtlety or the strange yellow-skinned race are said to be remarkably exhibited. When the play opens, this man. Wing Since, IS seen and heard philosophiZing on life and death with another Chinaman. Chim Fang. Chim Fang is the villain of the story. and in the developmen. of the plot, abducts a Chinese child (the cherub). The abduction is dis covered by the son of the philosopher, who Is murdered by Chim Fang. The powerful and sensational finale of the play is where the philosopher, intuitively suspecting the mur- derer of his son, sits beside him and again discourses on life and death in the same attitude and manner as he did at the beginning of the play, bring ing his discourse to an abrupt dra- matic period by killing the murderer. He chokes Chim Fang with his own queue. and when policeman ap- breaches. props the body up beside him and talks to it as the policeman passes by, and the curtain goes down.
 It will be interesting tO note the "Cat and the Cherub's" resemblances to and differences from "The First Born" which so soon fell in popular favor and was a dead, failure in Lon don, where MT. Fernafd's play Is stin running.
 In relief to the almost grewsome Chi- nese story comes a frothy, farcical play, "A Gay Deceiver," said to be full of comic complications and Imaginable incidents. and dealing with the troubles who, to explain some peccadilloes, tells his wife that they were the escapades of a twin brother who bears a remark able resemblance to himself. "A Gay Deceiver" Is interpreted by a company including M. A. Kennedy. W. G. Beach, Edwin Holland, Harry Mills, Lizzie Evans, Marie Valleau. Charlotte Deane and Dolores Lettani.
 The final scene of "A Gay Deceiyer introduces the feature of the evening, Mile Held presenting her French and English songs. One or two of the num- bers she renders in her native tongue. the rest are in broken English. During her engagement here she will sing 'The Contra Bass" T Want Some One to Play With Me" and T Want Dem Presents Back"
