ADJUSTMENTS.

Regular patrons of the Orpheum should
not miss this weeks bill and occasional
patrons should make this one of the weeks
to attend. The bill is an unusually fine
one throughout, containing no act that

Dick Lynch has a good line of Irish

so classy that they are in a class by
themselves.
The three dancing Mitchells also have

better than their singing.
The voices in the bill belong TO the Rog-
ers and Deeley team and are heard to
good effect under the title of The Singer

an audience that filled every seat in the
theatre. The musical comedy serves to in
troduce several comedians. dancers and
a chorus of girls in several light musical
