son and the approach OF Francis Will
son, or possibly the combination of
both, hurt the attendance at the thea
ter last night. Below stairs especial
ly a slim gathering saw the District
Leader. 1t Is a conglomeration of
the very catchy in music, the very
| tuneful in chorus, the very sad In act
| ing, the very funny IN spots, and the
| rather coarse In certain places. Es-
| pecially tuneful and pretty was the
| duet work of the soprano and the tenor,
| while the chorus sings better and works
harder than that in much more am
bilious presentations. The little soub-
rette was specially cute, but while her
| suggestions of profanity may go with
| eastern audiences, they only jar people
in this part of the land; her semi-pro-
fame illusions should by all means be
cut out The two tipsy men We're well
| portrayed and the leaders in the cast
were efficient. though hardly the same
can be said of the young lady who
did the part OF the heroine.
The same bill goes again tonight.
The advance sale for Francis Wilson
begins today and Manager Pyper looks
for the kind of a. rush that only Froh-
man headliners know how to draw.
Orphcmn-At the Orpheum. sit is
to laugh from the asbestos curtain to
the dnodrome. The bill is so full of
good things that every act would do for
headliner. Not overshadowed by the
excellence of the vaudeville offerings is
the orchestra With two unusually at
tractive numbers, Willard Weiha was
| compelled to bow twice to his audience
last night, The musical Goolmans
| play well; they make their audience
| laugh with them, and their act is thor
ougihly enjoyable. la Sylphe. with
three dancing numbers, is a marvel of
grace and her position at the pinnacle
of terpsichorean art G.. Herbert Nit
chell has bundle OF good jokes to tell
and even as hoarse as he was last
night delighted his audience with his
baritone numbers. Keane and Bris-
coe in their Trial Marriage" farce
have AN attractive vehicle for the dis
play of talent above the ordinary. For
more than full measure of good things,
Miss Briscoe sings a fitting finale to an
attractive bit of refined comedy of high
order. Two black face specialists arc
Avery and Hart. Their number is briin-
full of the best there Is in their line
To close a bill that is far above the
average, Polly Pickles Pets" comes
like refreshing memory of nursery
days. Attractive faces, musical voices,
and unique costumes please every min
ute OF the act The work of the ele-
phant the cats. the dog, the Teddy
bear and the parrot is surprising In
Its excellence The kinodrome is not
to be overlooked as the concluding part
of the best show the Orpheum has had
in weeks.
Grand-The Theodore Torch COM
pany continues to please the patrons
OF the Grand, and crowded house last
evening witnessed the stirring melo-
drama kidnapped for Revenge" The
play Is perhaps more satisfactory to
all classes of theater-goers than any
yet presented by the company, contain
Ing as 1t does the elements OF sensa-
tionalism, pathos and romance, and not
by any means lacking in the humorous.
The scenery is the most elaborate seen
upon the Grand stage In a long time.
Mr.. Torch assumes the leading role,
that Of the prince, and there Is nothing
lacking In the manner in which he
plays the part Next in point OF ex-
oellence come Miss Bainbridge, Miss
Cecil Fay. Miss Aubrey, Mr. Rutledge
and Mr.. Boone. Only one or two moro
weeks of the Torch engagements still
remain, the popular young actor then
going to very much larger fields for n
period OF at least a year, playing for
the most part IN the big cities from
Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico.
Lyrlc-The linn Travesty company
did well to bring its successful engage
ment at the Lyric towards a close with
"A Night in Morocco" for there is
nothing like leaving them laughing
when you say goodbye and that's
what the zinn oompa is going to do.
"A Night In Morocco Is hllarously
funny and 1t is IN every way 100 por
cent pure" II is a hopeless tangle of
color, movement, harmony and mirth,
and Is a suitable Offering for this time
OF the year The girls dance on and
Off the stage as II life was nothing
but fun; they sing with a vim that Is
refreshing, and when the man up In
the gallery and the men back on the
stage get their electrical machines TO
working, effects are obtained, which are
nothing less than beautiful. There Is
host OF song hits hut perhaps the
number getting the most vociferous ap-
plause and tho most encores was the
song and dance OF Baby Nadine ST.
Claire, a bit az miss who IL an ac-
complished coincidence. AS this Is the
last week OF musical comedy at the
Lyric, indications point to a record
week.
