with "Hogan's Alley" and they form the
cleverest team of juvenile comedians, sing
ers and dancers ever presented to the pub

rection "Hogans Alley" will be presented
here, have secured a most talented company

| ORPHEUM.-Pauline Hall, the great
queen of comic opera, and for years star
of the first magnitude in the musical world,
| is to lead the new bill for the coming week
In the days when "Erminie" and "The Mi.
kado" were new things under the sun,
| Pauline Hall was the idol of those who adore
a dashing stage divinity, in tights and out,
| and worship such one when to match
less female form divine is added a gift of
song-superb and supreme. Miss Hall has
been coaxed into vaudeville by the aid of
the same device that has proved effective
in other notable cases. She draws what is
without doubt the largest salary paid in
vaudeville, and is said to do what some Ger.
tainly do not-that is, earn it, She will
sing at the Orpheum selections from operas
in which she formerly starred, and will
wear number of striking costumes. John
c.. Rice and his clever companion, Miss Co
hen, will present an entirely new sketch,
called "The Kleptomaniacs, by the author
| of "Our Honeymoon the piece which Rice
has been exploiting during the past week.
Some of Rice's famous dancing is to be in
| troduced in the new sketch, which feature
was conspicuous by its absence in "Our
Honeymoon. Forman and Hewlett, a
team of expert banjoists, and John c.
Durno, magician, are new corners.
The Newsboys' quintette in new selec-
tions, Raymon Moore, the author-vocalist,
and the Rossow midgets, retained another
week by popular request, complete the bill.
| A special Thanksgiving matinee is an
nounced for next Thursday.
