oRPHEUM-It was an enthusiastic
welcome that greeted the big city
quartet aud Henry Give and his
petite assistant at the Orpheum last
night for the return of these acts
promised nothing less than two en-
pertaining features in the weeks bill.
Edra Aug, whose name Is spelled this
week with the big type, is different
from the monologuist Of the ordinary
run. In presenting Types" she has
selected three characterizations which
give her fine opportunity TO "uncork
bottle Of wit" that sparkled and
dubbed ana Kept everybody happy for
The short time she permits herself to
be IN front Of the drop. once as
chorus girl. again as a German do

hit
Henry Give is the one individual

main and psychic tomfollerv and sue

carpenter AYERS that Give doesn't do
nothing, but it's the way he does
il" and the iackI lane artist Is pro-
badly right. The assistance rendered
by May Sturgis Walker is not much,
except that she is a dainty little
creature and adds not little to the
picture. Give doesn't need TO make
his act new anywhere, TO be welcomed
back.
The Big City quartet IS in a class
OF its own, created by itself The Orph-
cum has never offered a musical num-
Der more pleasing. The artistic man
ner in which the tuneful songs are
handled is "A constant delight. and.
happily the "Old Oxen Bucket" with
its living pictures" Is not omitted
from the encore numbers The singers
were forced TO return many times last
night
The Ferrel brothers with their daring
cyclistic act fully uphold their title.
THE smartest OF comedy cyclists"
There are many things in their number
which others have attempted and
failed in. The Carmen troupe in a
series Of entertaining wire turns Is a
handsomely dressed number and the
claim OF the performers TO be the
originators OF their style OF perfor-
nance IL clearly affirmed. Two
strikngly handsome women. two
clever men and a boy OF daring and
skill, compose the troupe and OFFER one
OF the features OF a bill that Is gem
orally excellent The MyosOtis pair. late
premiere dancers OF the Royal opera,
Munich despite the long handle on
their names. are hardly up to the
Orrheum standard. Another act hard
" reaching the QfqnHurd damn NJ ad hg
Orpheum patrons was that OF Walter
Lewis and company. "A Baby Grand"
II is perhaps comedy playlet. though
this can hardly be stated with any
degree Of certainty.
A striking feature OF the weeks bill
is the orchestra's number. Mr.. Weihe
has selected Rossini's william Telr'
overture and II Is played In finished
style. Wagner's "Lohengrin" selection
is given Turing the intermission and
was only marred by the almost count
less number OF thirsty patrons who de-
light in the habit OF disturbing others
on leaving the house and returning at
every opportunity. The kinodrome,
fortunately IS improved over last
week.
COLONIALs-The most pretentlous
drama given at this popular playhouse
IN recent months Is The spoilers,
from the book OF the same name 10y
Rex Beach; IL depicts In striking real
ism tine Alaskan life IN the early days
OF the discovery OF gold. and before
the coming of the law. The plot centers
about the formation and carrying OUT
