my neighbor the other night when I

enthusiasm by talking sadly about the
decadence of vaudeville. He said that
the variety had lost all its character
through the Introduction of these le

the ginger out of the bill, that they
were against the first principles of a
vaudeville show, which are snap and

torting young lady who swallowed her
toes, the half skirted girl with daring
dances and more daring songs. why

The Orpheum.

OF the new people who will appear at
the Orpheum Carl Hertz is regarded as
the star attraction. He will appear in
his famous Illusion, Vanity Fair in
which his assistant, Mile. dalton, while
standing before a mirror, suddenly dis
appears. A popularity of the work done
by Carl Hertz is that it is all done on
the open stage without the aid of cur
tains or screens and in full light. The
Newsboys' Quintet is regarded as a musI-
cal novelty. They have made a hit in
the East. Raymon Moore, the popular
song writer will sing his own songs,
and Pearl Andrews, the mimic, will imi-

of the Orpheum audiences, but that it
had taken a couple of years to work
up the proper appreciation Of the ''le-

sketches were usually the most expen-

care what they cost" he growled:
they are nothing but suffers to pad
out the show with If you want vaude-
vile you want that and nothing else.
It's all very we'll to go to a music hall,
but how is man to know that he will
see a variety show after he gets
there?" I told him that our sorrow
for several years and our trouble with
the theatrical trust had been in not
knowing where to go to escape a va
riety show, and that the Orpheum had
not gone in for the legitimate until the
