out the old; ring in the newt the old
time burlesque organization, known as
the Miss New York, Jr;,' company
will open at the Dewey theater this
afternoon for week IS engagement.
If the press agent is to be believed,
the company comprises all that is shape
ly' and beautiful in the chorus, headline
vaudeville numbers and all the other
accessories of frst-class burlesque
production.
sssThe King of Kokomoo is the title
Of the musical farce which it will de-
volve upon this company to enact. Billy
Allen, the author, is said to have writ
ten things that demand good comedians,
the best singers and allround high class
work by the performers.
The piece has two acts. The olio
numbers will be interpolated. The lat
ter include the Boston City quartet, the
Wiora trio, Allen and Bright, the Gag
nouxs, Grandy and Wilson and Holman,
Hayward and Hayward, in acts that call
for the display of every talent known to
the stage.
One Of the features underlined by the
management is the motion pictures, de-
plotting the recent Fitzsimmons-O 'Brien
battle at San Francisco. The pictures
show every blow dealt during the IA

it, but it's all wholesome, delicious and

The farce deals with old Mr. Petit

taking his wife and daughter with him,
leaving his great mansion in charge of
his enterprising nephew, Alfred Hast.

ORPHEUM-
Modern Vaudeville

A famous personifcation of clever
ness will make his premier appearance
before an Orpheum audience this week
when Marshall P. Wilder illustrates his
powers as a. purveyor Of wit and humor.
Wilder has appeared before King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandra and the
Princesses Louise, Victoria and Maud,
and has brought laughter to the lips
Of the khedive Of Egypt and other per-.
sons of note.
Bert Coote, recognized as one of the
foremost legitimate comedians in vaude-
vile, will be the second big attrac-
ton in a new comedy sketch. It is a
twentieth century tale Of s Lamb in
Wall Street, where the plot centers,
and Mr.. Coote has. the role Of the young
partner who is picked out as a 'lamb''
but who fails to thus materialize. Some
Of the episodes are rather sensational,
and Mr., Coote is capably assisted by
Guy Hastings and Ada Russell. $50
This week will also be presented the
Colby family, vecalists, musicians and
con edians of merit. A prettily staged
act, replete with novelties, has given
the Colby family prestige among musi-
clans in vaudeville.
William J. Sullivan and Clarice Pas
quelena, whose "Newsboy's Appeal
proved favorite last season, will re-
turn this week, and Rice and Cady,
German comedians, will introduce alb
surdity in dialect work.
Not the least feature Of the bill will
be two European gymnastic acts. Tony
Wilson and Heloise, originators of the

will furnish a novel act, and two pretty

Sisters, the other.
