At the Orpheun,


The Orpheum management says
that the vaudeville bill for the
coming week, starting next Sunday
afternoon, will prove the most sat
isfactory offering in this class of
entertainment the theatergoers of
Spokane have ever witnessed. 1t
is big bill, containing as it does
"a actual performers, not counting
the property men, special stage
hands, electricians, managers and
so on. ~
The sum total is brought so high
by reason of the big military spec
tacle, Our Boys in Blue, which
numbers 10 actual performers.
This is the biggest vaudeville act
bourght to Spokane, and is said to
be splendid and educational as
we'll as patriotic presentation.
Every detail of military tactics, in
Guiding scenes truthfully repre-
senting actual service on the field
of battle, are shown, while a sham
battle, the repulse Of an attack is
gone through with in manner
that is sure to arouse the greatest
enthusiasm.
Lulu Mcconnell and Grant Simp-
son offer a bright little comedy
called "A Stormy Hour" by Lester
LOnergan. 1t was written to fit
Miss McConnell's gifts, as she is
an exceptionally brilliant comedi-
enne and the specialties and imi-
tations she introduces are distinct
features of the act.
The Tempest and Sunshine Trio,
is a singing novelty described as
"cute, cunning and coy" This trio
of attractive young beauties was
a feature of Ziegfield's first revue,
1.-The Follies of 1907"
Bobby Pandur and brother are
splendid types of manhood, and
their magnificent proportions en-
title them to the appellation, the
modern Hercules.
Wherever vaudeville is popular
as an amusement, James F. Kelly
and Annie NJ. Kent are welcome
and firmly established entertain
|ers.
Ray Montgomery and the Healey
sisters offer one of the most artlS-
tic and novel dancing acts in
vaudeville. All are clever artists
and present good entertainment
Last but not least is the team
of Sansone and Della, who per-
for msome startling gymnastic
feats. Moving pictures and a fine
new musical program by Comp
tons superb Orpheum orchestra
will complete the bill.

ing feature. The back curtain is
one of the most costly costly speci-
mems of Japanese needlework ever
imported. The design is naval
subject, representing a fleet Of
warships.
A most delightful singing act
that will be thoroughly enjoyed by
all lovers of music will be that Of
fered by the Rosedale Four, a quar-
tet of sweet singers, whose voices
harmonic beautifully, and their
repertoire includes selections that
are unusually catchy and musical.
Another good feature of the bill
will be the rousing comedy oddly
entitled Like Mother Used to
Make presented by Dan Crimmins
and Rosa Gore, tw oreal funmak-
ers. One of the principal points of
this number is the rapidly with
which this pair make their changes
from one character 70 another. The
scene Of act act is in a restaurant
on the bowery, and Dan Crimmins
takes the part of first the propri-
etOr, then the waiter and finally
the chef, making his changes with
wonderful quickness, while Miss
Gore impersonates first Dry Dock
Liz, a customer of the restaurant,
then Boston society lady, making
her change from one to the other In
40 seconds. Next on the list comes
Minstrel Billy Clarke, who will pre-
sent his clever monologue. Mr..
Clarke is we'll known from one
coast to the other as one of the
best burnt cork monologist in
vaudeville. A sketch of exceptional
merit will be the one offered by
Bradlee Martin and company, en-
titled, Jessie, Jack and Jerry"
The story tells of a father who
wants his son to marry girl he
does not want. The acrobatic act
will be furnished by Bell and
Caron, two artists in their line, of
work, which consists of novel aero
batic work by Mr.. Bell and some
very artistic toe dancing by Miss
Caron.

cal comedy founded on the story
printed last fall in Golfers Week
ly, He Also Serves" and which

Texas Here
Wednesday

Texas which comes to the Au-
ditorium, has absorbed much of
the breath and dignity of the Lope
Star state. The story is one of
human interest, bereft of absurd
sensational incidents. The char
acters are all taken from life, and
each one is type in itself. Rough,
hard riding cowboys, grizzled old
ranchmen, swarthy Mexicans and
lovely women make dramatic per-
sonell that is sufficiently varied to
suit the most exacting first night.
er. j. Mauldin Fegil, who was born
In the Lone Star state, is the
author of Texas" and has based
the story on actual facts.

At the Pantages

For the week commencing SUM-
day, October 1, the Pantages will
offer a very pleasing bill and one
that is a great contrast between
this and the bill that is on the
present week. Every number Is
unique in its way and will be ex-
ceedingly entertaining. There is
an unusual amount of music and
1t is all refined and well rendered.
An Italian troup, direct from
Naples, known as the La Belle
Italia troup, composed of four peo-
pie, will occupy the headline posi-
ton. There are three men and one
woman in the act, and they use
more musical instruments than any
other act of it's kind in vaudeville.
Besides being finished musicians,
they are excellent vocalists as well.
One of the features of the act is
the rendering of Poet and Peas

velles have one Of the most. sensa-
