Speaker "Joev Cannon from. Illi-
nois, and possible president Of the
United States William Jennings Bryan
from Nebraska, will be given a tsfry-
OUT in vaudeville at the Orpheum
theater this evening. They will appear
on the same stage with John D. Rock
efeller, who had his 'try-outo last
night, each notable to, be presented by
Henry Lee, the American actor whose
licensees Of. great men, past past
and present, constitutes the headline
feature at that theater this week. #
No one, not even the impersonator,
knows how Senator Cannon or Mr..
Bryan is going to act under the fire. of
the first test before the footlights, but
because each man has long been before
the public and is accustomed to facing
crowded houses it is presumed that the
impersonator will have no trouble with
them. This is the first time they have
been given place on vaudeville bill,
so far as Mr.. Lee knows, and "there
is always considerable nervousness at
tached to a vaudeville try-out,' says
the impersonator.
