EVERY ACT WINS
AT THE ORPHFUM
Vaudeville Road Show to Be
Further Strengthened by
New Turns

There is no dissenting opinion this
week concerning the Orpheum road
show. Press and public, critics and
patrons of the theater generally say
that it is the best aggregation of talent
ever seen on vaudeville stage in this
city. Each act is good enough to head
the ordinary vaudeville bill and there
is not turn but what appeals To every
BODY in the audience. Each act scores
at every performance

In his sketch
Hymen Myer is another star newly
come over the vaudeville horizon. His
Inuslcal monologue earns such applause
as necessitates at almost every per-
formance little speech on the part of
the performer. His turn includes some
purlesque grand opera, some real mu-

the success of the act provided by
Merian's canine actors must not be
overlooked. Some persons do not care
for trained animal stunts but are
rorced to admire this one, which is en-
tirely different from any seen hereto

KOLB AND DILL TO
BE POLITICIANS
Musical Comedy Fun Makers
Have New Offering at
Princess

Kolb and Dill begin the ninth week
of their successful engagement at the
Princess tomorrow night in another
entirely new and original musical COM
edy. The Politicians" is the title of the
attraction, and it is by the same
writer's who made successes Of Playing
the Ponies" and Wiener and Schnit-
eel" Aaron Hoffman is responsible for
the book and j. a. Raynes wrote the
lyrics and the music.
Kolb will appear as A. CRATER and
Dill viii be seen as Il. Nj. Wurz. They
are two desperate Dutchmen who de-
which Wurz (DilD assumes all the
risk and does all the work and A.
CRATER (Kolb) gives him moral" sup
port and shares the spoils. They arrive
in Richville, where an aged farmer who
is politician, policeman and town clerk
enters the plot. The comedians steal a
barrel of pickles and land in the jail,
which adjoins the railroad station.
This happens on the eve of election
day. Heretofore Richville has been
solidly republican, there being in the
town but two democrats, who alter
nately run for the Office of mayor. The
wife of the one whose turn 1t is to be
sacrifcial candidate has been snubbed
by her neighbor and revenges herself
by preventing her neighbor's husband
from running for the high Office AS a
sort OF joke the citizens, feeling that
they must have democratic candidate
in order to have fight, liberate
CRATER and WurZ. The latter is NOM
mated for the democratic ticket and
the former becomes his campaign man
ager. A CRATER Immediately brings
TO bear his experience as a Tammany
man and goes after every dollar in
sight. He imports s'heelersvs and ire
peaters and Wurz is elected by a
majority which numbers more votes
than there are registered citizens in
the community.
The Princess company has been
strengthened by the engagement of

bill with an act that is good for one
continued roar of laughter. More
comedy will be supplied by John
Fields, monologist possessed of a
clever line of wit and the ability to
sing and dance as well? The name of
Lucy Monroe also appears among the
mimic and impersonator-of uncommon
