The orpheum stage was set for the
rapid fire comedy Of Two Hundred
Wives" In which Hyams and Mcintyre
were getting rid OF Jokes with Ham
Tree speed. The lady in the audience
was gathering In only a few OF the
slower ones.

And then a delayed ripple trailed OH
behind the big wave of laughter that
never died down for q minute during
the principal acts last night.
The Orpheum bill this week is good
better than usual. and so good that few
equal 1t while none take precedence.
There Is n delpge OF comedy. Just as
some weeks there is a deluge of aero
batic acts, and other weeks a deluge Of
mediocrity IN the form of monologue
and conversations.
The third act, Pals" is as fast as
Hyams and Mcintyre, but 1t is slice
of comedy-drama appropriated from
the legitimate stage. Electrical N-
fects and beautiful stage setting add
much to its merit The Three Keltons
with little Gladys, open In an acceptable
music and dancing act. Nicola, the
novelty juggler, juggles In way to get
good recall although other novelty
jugglers have taken much OF the new
ness out of such an act. Happy Jack
Gardner is a black-face monologuist
who tries to tell you again all the Jokes
you ever heard, but he makes you
laugh whether you will or not. Mazuz
and Mazett come out as If to do an
other comedy sketch but end up with
some lively tumbling that places the
team we'll up among the seasons best.

sets of pictures--"A Venetian Tragedy"

Brother"

Wyoming, Idaho. Oregon and Washing
ton, was marked with blood, mostly not
his Own, until the wheat field was
reached where he was at bay, wounded
and bleeding, aud where he finally blew
out his own brains. There Is little trace
of the real Tracy IN the story that has
been dramatized. excepting the incess-
ant fushade of bullets In the conclud-
ing acts. There We're hundreds of shots
fired, and some of the weapons used
made as much noise as a cannon Quite
as much was made of the parts as the
nature of the play would admit of,
honors being about equally divided

Lyric-Another play which has
jumped into popular favor with patrons
of the Lyric theater Is the offering for
this week. The Power of Justice" is
the title of the production, and to say
