gagement
The first big musical attraction Of the
season at Boyd's theater will be Oscar l..
Figman and Ruth White in THE Tender
foot" which will be seen for three nights
and matinee starting on Thursday. The
piece is under the management of w. p.
Cullen, who made the big revival of THE
Burgomaster' two seasons ago with such
great success. The cast is a particularly
strong one, containing names that were
in the original cast. Figmans Prof. Pet
tbone is said to be delightful, while Miss
Whites fine soprano voice makes much Of
Marion. Others in the large company are
Jethro Warner Fred Bradley, Harry b.
Williams, George Z. Roman, Louise
Bracket, Eta Lockhart and Frankie
Warner. There is a big company, number
ing nearly seventy people. The locale of
THE Tenderfoot" is placed in Texas, and
1t is a rather peculiar fact that that is
the only section of the country where the
piece has not been tremendous success.
The Texans could not see the humor in the
burlesque on the Texas Rangers, and deny
the fact that there might be such a thing
as a cowardly ranger, such as lie portrayed
by Fred Bailey in the part of Sergeant
Barker. Texas rose against THE Tender
foot" and would have none of it, notwith-
standing the beautiful alamo" song, or
the other musical numbers like "Adios,"
Fascinating Venue" I'm a Peaceable
Party" only a Kiss" and 1.-THE Tale Of
the Tortured Thomas Cat" The sale Of
seats for this big musical attraction will
open at the box office at Boyds.
The OrDheum embarks on its eighth
season as the home of vaudeville today
with matinee and night performances
For the past month the cosy theater has
been in the hands Of a corps of workmen
Being carefully renovated 1t now presents
a bright and attractive appearance that will
add some in making a good initial impress
sion. At the head of the bill for the COM
ing week will be Bert Leslie and Robert
Daley a brother Of Pete" Daley This
lively pair of fun makers were starred in
Paris by Night and THE Fortune Hunt
ers" Their vehicle will be an odd conceit
called Going Abroad" a sketch said to
reek with absurdities intended to develop
good hearty laughter. The De Koe trio
are a European importation of athletes
who display the difficult acrobatic stunts.
BERTHE Fowler, styled THE Merry Mono
logue Maid may be recalled from her visit
here two seasons back as a luminary OF
the Orpheum road show. Talbot and
Rogers are a pair of singing comedians
who dispOrt themselves as The Legit and
His Friend" Knight brothers and Sawtelle
bid as the twentieth century dancers
Musical comedy is the speciality of Fredo
and Dare, each Of whom is accomplished
on a number of instruments Schepps
dogs and ponies are a well-groomed and
pretty troupe Of dumb actors that have
been taught to entertain and interest.
New and timely motion pictures will be pre-
scented by the knodrome.
The attraction at the Krug theater for
four nights and two matinees, starting
with a matinee today, will be The Sultan
of Sulu." This most substantial OF ell
comic opera successes is almost too well
known TO need mention. Briefly outlined
the story of THE Sultan OF Sulu" is
woven around the episodes which befall
Hadpi Mohammed Ki-Ram, the sultan OF
Sulu. or Jolo, who previous 20 the Amerl-
can invasion had acquired several inter-
esting and charming additions to his
harem at the expense OF warfare with a
neighboring datto. The timely arrival OF
American soldiers, the acquisition OF his
territory and his assimilation Of the great
American beverage the cocktail, bring
about a glimpse OF oriental color which is
Of the most pleasing pictures OF the pro-
duction is a perfectly drilled chorus Of
young and beautiful singers. The lyrics
have a merry Jingle and the music is tune
full and melodious and never fails TO elicit
encores. Among the numbers that have
found favor in'the drawing rooms are The
Smiling Island OF Sulu," My sulu Lulu"
the military Hike" song, Engaged in a
Sort OF a Way" The u. S. A." IF but
Knew" "R-e-m-o-r-s-e," and Take Ne
Back to Manistee."
