WASHINGTON

Taken as a whole, the show this
week is passing fair, but every act
on the card lacks in point Of new
ness. Honors are divided about
evenly between Buster Brown and
his mongrel and Lii Kirslake and
his pigs for first place on the
bill. Kirslake has a half dozen
hogs of varying sizes which he has
trained to do his bidding. They do
some good tricks and the act fin
ishes with the roaring spectacle
of pigs shooting the chutes. That's
the one thing on the program that
is new. There are six people in
the Buster Brown act and 1t runs
about the same as the other Buster
Brown plays. Les Theodors are
aerialists who do good work, and
c. w. Williams has a presentable
turn in ventriloquistic stunts. Wat.
son & Little have matrimonial
sketch of simple style. And then
there is Connolly, Wenrich & Con.
nolly-well, II they were condemn
ed to sit on the other side of the
lights to watch their turn for gust
five minutes they would never dc
it again. It's that old song and
dance act.

oRPHEUM

A sketch of class and a highly
entertaining performance is Sup
pressing the Press" by Mr.. and
Mrs. Gene Hughes, assisted by
Charles Heating. The work of
both Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes is as
clever as anything of that kind
which the Orpheum has put on
since it's opening. A rube sketch by
the Chadwick Trio appealed
strongly, particularly the work OF
Ida May Chadwick, who is all arms,
some limbs and considerable
mouth. Her pantomime work
makes the sketch go more than
anything else. Three Frenchmen,
known as the Yosearys, perform
acrobatics in an amusing manner.
The Bob & Tip company are clever
tumblers, but the principal hit OF
their act is the performing of two
fox terriers. A-Ba-Be's pictorial al
blum is a decidedly unique illu-
sion. A charming young lady
poses in huge q.bum against clev-
er painted background, producing a

AUDITORIUM

Beyond question Jessie Shirley
holds a very warm spot in the
hearts of Spokane patrons of the
playhouses. Last night, on her
eighth successive night in Belasco's
play, "The Girl from the Golden
West" she was applauded time and
again, and called before the cur.
tain three or four times in the sec
ond act. Miss Shirley is at her
best in a romantic charter such as
The Girl in this play, and plays the
part with ease and grace tha'
would do credit to some of the
most popular actresses featured as
stars in the big successes of the
day.
