Orpheun.

Three new turns at the Orpheum-two
successes and one failure. The former are
contributed by the Montrose troupe of
acrobats and the Escamillos, equilibrists;
the latter by Miss Edna Aug, who is
gently billed as Americas leading char
acter Coincidence" According to report
Miss Aug is under contract to play next
season with Augustin Days company.
If this be true, Mr.. Daily has his life's
work ahead OF him. Miss Aug at present
shows the smallest amount of talent and
training that may be exposed with safety
on the stage. Her limitations of Anna
Held, Bowery girl, Dutch dialectrician
and a coon songstress are the most
dismal in the history of the Orpheum.
Some things on the stage are so bad that
they are funny. This act is worse than
that. The Montroses-five men and boy
are the best yet in their line. Their
acrobatic work is swift and graceful and
some of the boys feats simply incredible.
The Escamillos-a man and boy-do
reckless feats on the tight wire. In this
act, too, the boy is the star And Baby
Lund still leads the holdovers, so the
juveniles have everything their own way

slightly changed, was adopted.

thirty minutes of the days work and
make the closing hour o.. m.

was an unseemly hour for city en-
ployes TO come to work and he was in
favor of making the opening a trifte
later. This balk on the part Of the
alderman from the Second ward Great

was decided to make the opening hour
