into matrimony, and as for the col

conditions are extremely favorable to
matrimony, and seldom are these mar
riages unhappy. Indeed. so far from

The Orpheum Opening.

Interest in local theatrical matters
is rapidly centering about the opening
of the Orpheum theater, Fl to 81
Seventh street S, announced for the
evening of Oct. 20. 1t will be the
largest theater ever opened in the city,
as well as the first. opened here in
several years, and it will be in the
cause 1t will introduce modern vaude-
vile to the people of Minneapolis. .
A small percentage of local patrons
of the theater already have a knowl-
edge and appreciation of what modern
vaudeville is from visits to other cities
where the first form Of entertainment
suggested for the visitor is. likely to
Orpheum or other frstclass vaude
vile theater. In most of the larger
cities the form Of theatrical entertain
ment now receiving the most loyal
support from the better class of the
atergoers is vaudeville of the Orpheum
standard.
This standard has been set only
now thoroly-recognized branch of the
theatrical business. The development
began in the east with the passing Of
the museum olios and the variety
shows. It began in the west when
Gustaf Walters, father of the Or
pheum circuit system, opened a high
class vaudeville house in San Francis
co, importing his talent from Europe.
From the experimental stage it has
passed into O permanent and import
ant line of theatrical endeavor-until
nearly every city Of 100000 or more
reckons it's vaudeville house as among
the best in architecture, value of at
fractions and quality of patronage.
Those cities Of considerable size which
have not had opportunity to test the
popularity Of good V audeville are i'm.
patiently awaiting the completion of
especialIy-built vaudeville theaters.
In the past ten years especially, the
Legitimate drama has lost some of
it hold on metropolitan audiences. In
the place Of these old-school produc-
t;ons, which made the regulations of
many Of the greatest actors, the pub
lie has turned to comic opera, and then
to "musical comedy itself a form
of vaudeville altho lacking the virtue
of plot and the advantage of properly
staged vaudeville. The public has

evidence that vaudeville is thing of
