SO cordial has been the reception Civ
en- the Three Dumonds, Partisan min
strels, the present week at the Orpheum
that the mana cement has secured them
for second week, this being the second
time in the history Of the Orpheum
that the popularity of a vaudeville fea-

Joseph Dumond and the chic manner Of

comedy Of the guitarist, appeal to
vaudeville patrons strongly.

violinist, will appear in her original

"Fighting Bob, ~ the stirring play
which Dick Ferris and his stock com

fifteen years.

HThe Prisoner of Zenda. = = So sss Grau-
stark, one Of the most successful
American books and plays, tells SINH
lar story, as Do hPhroso,o and /, others t
told stories of this type. The play is
one of constant and rapid action, sus-
tanned suspense, andss thrilling adven-
ture. Yet the story is so well told, the
characters are SO human and far re-
moved from the conventional impossi-
bilities of the ordinary melo- drama,
the love story is so fresh and pure, that
one feels that a bit of actual life is
being unrolled, and may enter into the
difficulties, dangers, and triumphs Of
of the far-away land, with friendly and
eager sympathy.
Robert Raensaler, a Yale graduate,
has won his sobriquet on the gridiron.
He arrives in Central America with two
college friends, just in time to discover
the plot against the Princess Dulcina
and sets himself and his friend, at the
merry, yet difficult task of ,c1rcumvenr-
ing her enemies. The part! will be
played by Dick Ferris, who finds in it
role well suited to his bravura comedy
style. In the princess, Florence Stone
has a part somewhat different from any
she has yet essayed with the Ferris
players. Dulcina is girl and woman in
one, shy yet unafraid, giving her love
in sweet surrender, yet ever remember
ing her pride of birth and; royal line.
