The Daily Routine of Drevfus

Dreyfus is not Gagged in like wild beast
in u menagerie. Nor is he compelled to
pace u measured walk with loaded cannon
at either end. These lurid stories have
been relegated to fiction by Dutch sailor
named Weinheber. That enterprisng ma
riner was lent by his captain to the garri-
son of the lie du Diable as cook. He had
his work cut out as far as Dreyfus was con-
cerned. Chocolate on rising, an egg for
breakfast, roast meat for dinner. cold ham
for supper. That Is Dreyfus' fare; and 1t is
washed down with generous bottled beer
Dreyfus, too, has the run of the island, can
play cards (for love- with his warders and
study books on military topics. Lest VIC
should imagine that he is in a complete
condition of middle-class ease, we are in
formed that his hands are tied with cord
when he is in his bath, one end of which is
held by jailor lest he should commit sui
eide. AS the poor man could hardly swat
low his sponge, this precaution seems ST.
perfluous. 1t is. presumably, the Dutch
cooks own and original contribution to the
Dreyfus legend.-Pall Mall Gazette.

ENLARGED Orpheum Circuit

Morris Meyerfeld, jr., president of the
Walter Orpheum company. has signed
contract whereby the Orpheum circui. by
one stroke gains fourteen new houses and
invades the eastern vaudeville field into
and beyond Chicago. The list of new houses
includes the Grand opera house, Pittsburg;
Walnut street theater, Cincinnati; Chca-
go opera house. Chicago; Olympic theater,
Chicago; Haymarket theater, Chicago;
Hopkins theater, Chicago; Masonic roof
garden, Chicago Ferris Wheel Park, Chi
cago; Alhambra theater, Milwaukee,; Hop
kns theater, st. Louis Forest Park High
lands, ct. Louis; st. Charles, New Orleans;
Creighton. Omaha; Broadway, Denver.
These, together with the three California
Orpheums at San Francisco, Los Angeles
and Sacramento, and one at Kansas City,
put the Walter Orpheum company in con-
troll of the greatest vaudeville circNt in
the world. 1t Is said that the Orpheum cir
cult is to be extended still further until 1t
reaches New York city.
BY this move on the part of the Orpheum
people artists can be booked for eighteen
weeks and only play one week in each
house. 1t is claimed that the advantage
lies in the fact that the great vaudeville
acts of Europe can by the long engagement
offered bo induced to visit this country.
