Orpheum-Mary Norman and Others.

She gave him a tin basin to put under
the leaking gas pipe and told him to
hurry. This is a bright spot in the
sketch by Hooker and Davies at the Or
pheum this week. Aside from this side
play, there is nothing startling about the
pins and Needless sketch done by the
team, except the pair of remarkable re-
semblances to Francis Wilson revealed
when the fair member Of the duo ap-
pears in a short skirt.
The average of this weeks company is
good because the headliners are especial
ly clever. Mary Norman presents a Sc
ries of caricatures of real society girl
types in Boston, New York, San Fran
cisco and Chicago. With no other acces-
SORES than a change Of hats and wraps,
she portrays her subjects with keen and
artistic zest that wins her several re-
calls. Miss Norman's work is the es-
sence of refinement and she is probably
the best exponent Of the trademark
phrase polite vaudeville,'' on the. Or
pheum circuit. ...r-.
Funny Sam Elton shares first honors
with Miss Norman. He is an eccentric
| tumbler with pantomime act that keeps
the house Ill a tumult. With three eggs
in the pockets of his voluminous trousers
and his arms full of soupplates, he falls
all over the stage and arises with plates
and eggs unbroken. His turn closes with
a terrific slaughter of crockery thai
makes hit with the gallery.
In the way Of broad burlesque anC
simple, straightforward foolishness Johr
and Harry Dillon with their origina
songs and guileless expressions catch thu
fancy Of the audience. In their line O.
work they approximate the Weber &
Fields standard of funmaking more
closely than any team seen here for {
long time.
The Nambos, a grown Jap and two lit
tie Japs, introduce some difficult ant
daring feats of foot juggling and tumb
ling. Hoey and Lee put on a Hebrev
burlesque remarkable neither for anus
ing dia1og nor for makeup, and Barne.
! Pagan and Henrietta Byron give a dane
ing and singing number which is savet
from mediocrity by Miss Bryan's Ger

creditable to her ability.
