COLOR, LIFE AND VARIETY AT
THE ORPHEUM.

Color, life and variety will make the
Orpheum show next week one of the
brightest and most entertaining of the
season. While there will be plenty of
fun for patrons, the bill as whole will
have an uncommonly high tone, and
will be one to which those sadly over
worked and abused vaudeville adjec-
tives, polite" and refined" may ap-
propriately be applied.
The star of the bill is Edwin A. Ste
vens, polished and versatile actor,
who presents little sketch entitled
"a Night Out" He is assisted by
young Miss Marshall, who has little to
do except allow herself to be talked to.
Stevens comes home to his fiat from
his club to find his wife away and his
young cousin in possession. He then
proceeds to entertain her with sketches
of life at the club, which are excep-
tionally clever. He recites and sings,
and from first to last is essentially en-
PERTAINING.

FISHER HARRIS MAKES A HIT.

The "See America First" idea which
originated in Salt Lake has grown
already into almost national import
ance. 1t is being taken up by cham
bers of commerce, commercial clubs
and other trade organizations all over
the country and will be pushed, The
idea appeals to the general public
also and will become great factor in
the development of the latent re-
sources of the west. Fisher Harris
secretary of the Commercial club and
the originator of the See America"
sentiment, has returned from tour
extending from Portland to New York
and embracing the most important
cities 1t is six weeks since Mr. Har-
ris left Salt Lake and in that time
he has done nothing but make speech
es before commercial bodies and talk
with private individuals regarding the
See America" plan. He talked and
spoke very successfully and succeed
ed in interesting those with whom he
came in contact. A master stroke
was when he enlisted in the cause

send representatives west and in the
course of month or two they will
inaugurate a campaign of publicity
which cannot fail to make the move

start and this summer the fruits will

arduous trip, but he returns with even
more enthusiasm than he took away

margin of 20 per cent between. That
