ADJUSTMENTS
ORPHEUM THEATER-High class
vaudeville.

At the Orpheum Monday night-Nov-
city, originality was the bill-those
were the things that made the perform
ance one of the best seen In this house.
Depending not so much upon his make
up as upon his characteristics, in a de-
llcious jargon offensive to no one, Ben
Welch sang songs and told tales that
brought tears with the JOY of laughing
to nearly every one In the house. When
he began to tell Of his new fat "wit
two kins of col' vatter,' and about
his son "Chakey," a dope hend, the
audience almost went wild,
Although their act Is not new, their
remarkable craftsmanship and the
of the "team, won for the Vivians
great applause. Perhaps the greatest
exhibition of sharpshooting ever seen
on the stage was given when Vivian
accompanied his mate, who was singing,
by ringing the chimes with shots from
magazine rifle.
Max Hildebrandt, the "crazy Ger
man cavalry band leader,' is an imi-
tation of the famous actor who also
prances about the stage on q dummy
horse and sings songs. Hildebrandt,
however, is a very original dancer, and
this relieves the monotony Of his act.
Together with Welch, the Gonzales
Brothers, Mexican serenaders, probably
from Hester street, New York, were
by far the most pleasing of any on the
bill. A remarkably deep and musical
bass voice distinguished the singing
of one of the team, and their bright
uniforms and the spirited manner in
which they sang Spanish songs brought
thunderous applause.
Lorimer johnson and Caroline Fran
ces Cooke appeared in a sketch entitled
Z" A Shave for a Wife. - Their turn was
good, Collins and Hart, two funny
fake @ 'fapcrobats, with and without
the aid Of concealed wire, made the
audience roar with their funny antics.
The rs. r. O.' sign was hung out
last night, and the week promises TO be
exceptionally large in returns. The
moving pictures, for once, were very
good.
"The Wedding Day. was repeated
at the Salt Lake Theater last evening,
any of its popularity by repetition. The
principals were as pleasing as at the
initial performance and received hearty
encores. Miss Gates and Miss Berk-
hoel in the feminine leads were charm
ing, Messrs. Dougall Spencer, Pyper,
Fred Graham and Horace Ensign car
ried of the laurels for the masculine
part of the programme. The chorus was
excellent and the orchestra good.
Viola Pratt Gillette and her large
company appear tonight in the big
comic opera success, "The Girl and the
Bandit" The star will be given a
warm welcome in her old home,
AT the Lyric theater "The Two Or
phans" drew another crowded house
last night and the prospects are the
standing room sign will be in evidence
every night this week. Special praise
is due to every member of this popular
stock company, for it is perhaps the
best that ever played to Salt Lake au~
diences at popular prices, and theater
goers leave ample testimony to this
effect in the box Office.
Since the popularity Of Sir Conan
Doyle's world famous detective stories,
with Sherlock Holmes as hero, has
forced a dramatization Of the charac-
ter, but two actors have gained un-
qualified popular approval in the de-
lineation of the part. William Gil
lette is ono and Mr.. Theodore Lorch,
who, supported by Miss Josephine Def
fry, are now at the Grand theater, is
tho other. Nothing has been left un-
done to make the production Of "The
