-(Advance Announcement }
A notable addition to the Orpheum bill for
the coming week is that Of Miss Mary Nor
man, the society caricaturist, who has just
closed an unusually successful engagement
| in San Francisco. The critics have given
warm praise for her artistic work, declaring
it unique and thoroughly delightful. Miss
Norman is genius in the portrayal of well
known types of the American girl. She has
originated an absolutely new scheme of en-
tertainment which has the double merit of
satisfying the fastidious and at the same
time pleasing the great plain people The
society girl, the Boston woman of culture,
the Gotham maid, the Chicago girl, the
nervous debutante, the passe prima donna,
and other feminine types are delicately
caricatured by Miss Norman, and with such
accuracy as to make the original seem pre-
sented in the flesh
A new thing under the sun is promised in
a sketch called 'The Vaudeville Craze" in
which the methods of vaudeville perform
ers are parodied in laughable way. George
Felix and Miss Lydia Barry are to appear
in the sketch. Louis Granat, billed as the
worlds greatest unique whistler, is fea-
tured on the bill. He is European artist
fashion. Like Miss Alice Shaw, he has zap
peared before the crowned heads of Eu-
rope" Flood Bros, comedy acrobats, COM
plete the list of new corners. Miss Beatrice
Moreland will repeat her sketch, "a Game
of Golf" Other holdovers are Prof How
ard and his trick ponies; johnson and Dean,
colored dancers and singers.
Two special performances will be given at
the Orpheum today at the matinee and again
in the evening, of comedietta written by
w. Lockwood, Brooklyn newspaper man,
and entitled "a Game of Lobby" The
participants will be George G. Boniface and
Miss Nonna Ferner The scene is laid in
Washington, d. c., and the amusement is
caused by the meeting of the fair Mrs Gay,
widow and lobbyist, and the portly SEN
ator Blackburn of Kentucky The sketch is
put on at the Orpehum today for the pur-
pose of testing it's merits and desirability
as permanent addition to the repertory
of the vaudeville stars above named.
