able interest in the engagement at the
Metropolitan of this highly successful
comedy. AIDE seems certainly to have
struck the bulls eye of popular approval

college life, and Henry w. Savage is
sending a well-nigh perfect cast, as well
as production Of rare beauty and good
taste.
The engagement of Little Johnny
Jones" at the Metropolitan for the half
week beginning next Sunday evening,
bids fair to be a record breaker in point
of attendance. This in view of the large
number Of seat orders that have been
received by Manager Scott from out of
town parties who intend seeing this phe-
nomenal musical success. The original
production. comes here direct from it's

Willard. presenting THE Phrenologist"
at the Orpheum theater this week, wears
a dress that Cleopatra would probably
have given numerous pots of gold for
did the fair Cleo live in this age The
dress is heavily spangled In various
shades of blue, many of the spangles
being cup-shaped like tiny reffectofs,
while others are cut in crescent form
and hang in spirals which give a yeritable
rainbow effect every time the wearer
stirs. Miss Willard goes in heavily for
gowns, having almost enough to stock an
extravaganza company, and has likewise
the reputation of being the handsomest
gowned woman in vaudeville.
The four Piccolo Midgets, the biggest
| little men Of their profession. will be the
headliners on the Orpheum bill for next
week. The midgets are both comedians
and remarkable gymnasts.
