AUDITORIUM.

"The Plunger" is a mixture of
comedy and tragedy with about
equal parts of each and the Shir-
leys captured the house last night
with the bill. The play has d de-
cidedly interesting plot and has to
do with the crimes of a pair of viii
lians and the wronging of an inno-
cent man. Strangely enough the
william does not fall in love with
any one during the play, greed for
gold being his one motive. George
McQuarrie plays the role of the
"Plunger" and during the first
three acts is chiefly comedy. He
is the real hero throughout the
play. Charles Clary as the william,
is another prominent character.
Jack Amory appears as a thug and
tool of Lincoln but before tht end
Of the play redeems himself and
t"~ns over t"" Williams n the law.
Miss Won Waldron as Ethel Rex
ford, the heroine, played the part
feelingly and was prettily gowned.
Miss Adams, as dashing Irish
widow, played opposite George Nc
Quarrie and furnished much of the
fun during the play. There wer-
several thrilling scenes in the play,
the most effective being the rob-
berry scene in the second act.

bill would be classed among the
very ordinary. Undoubtedly some
of the audience might have been
embarrassed by Sa-Heras' readings
last night, but almost invariably
they admitted that she had read
them correctly. Wentworth, Vesta

dog do some brisk stunts in aero
battles. Joseph Hearn and Matt

week. The best thing by the dogs
is the work Of the Dogville quartet.

played on bells. In the matter OF
mathematical calculations the pony
Tom seems to have unusual intelli-
gence. William Delmore and Mile.
Oneida have Japanese pole act,
in which the woman does some dar-
ing posing in midair. Iva Donnette
as colored nanny, aided by her
dog, pleased the house. The
sketch, my Lady Raffies," in
which woman burglar tries to rob
the house of the man who caused
her downfall, winds up with a nice
bit of dramatic effort, in which the
parties are reunited and agree to
turn over a new leaf. Ann Crewe
and Charles Kinsley appear in this
skit. George Wilson, an old-time
has commendable

black face work.

oRPHEUM.

There are three acts at the Or
pheum this week which stand out
prominently in the bill although it
can hardly be said there is any one
big bill in the program. s. Miller
Kent and his, company in MARI
age in Motor Car" have clever
ly CONSTRUCTED act which is well
presented and full of good comedy.
Another strong act is that of Harry
L. Webb, black face comedian
who keeps the laugh going all the
time he is on the stage. Will Rog-
ers and his stunts with the lariat
gave a splendid exhibition of skill
with the rope. Jolly Violetta, a
French beauty, had one of the most
artistic settings for an act seen at
the Orpheum and while the French
idea of a rare beauty might have
been disputed her dancing and
singing were well received. Banjo
playing to be appreciated at this
day must be of high order and
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Clark had nc
difficulty in establishing them
selves as experts on this instru.
ment, the solo of Mr.. Clark being
particularly we'll rendered. The
chief run in the program was fur.
nished by Surazall and Razall in
their musical sketch. Caron &
Farnum in an acrobatic act coupled
gymnastics and comedy in lively
fashion and their "tumbling laugh
ter" was a clever exhibition.

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN,

Once upon a time a Dutch ship
set sail from the East Indies to re-
turn to Holland. There was only
one passenger on board and he was
rich man, all alone in the world,
who once had been very poor
boy.
Remembering what a hard time
he had had when he was little, he
told the captain of the ship that he
wanted to go to Amsterdam and
build a big home and take care of
the poorest and most miserable lit
tie boys and girls he could find. He
said that he wanted to use his
great bags of gold he had with him
on the ship to make them happy
all the rest of their lives.
Now, that was very kind thing
for him to plan, and yet the wicked
man at the wheel who heard him
tell the captain this did not think
of his kind plan: he only thought
of all the gold the good man had,
and wondered how he could get it
for himself.
So he told the crew about it, and
when they had good chance these
dreadful men seized the poor cap
tain and the good man and bound
them and threw them into the sea.
Then they sailed for the nearest
port, where they intended to divide
the bags of gold that now belonged
to them.
But, as they sailed, terrible
plague broke out on board 1t was
plague which made the men very
thirsty. and as they fought to get
at the water casks they spilled all
the water they had. There they
were. in the midst of the salt sea.
which only to look at made them
wild with thirst.
When they came into port the
people saw they had the plague
and refused to let them land.
"We have great bags of gold"
the crew cried, with their parched
mouths. only give us water"
But the people drove them away.
1t was the same at every port
they went to, and SO they turned
back to the ports of the east, where
they had come from. Then great
storm arose and they were driven
far out to sea, and when it died
down they sailed again for this
land, and another gale sprang up.
and once more they were driven
far away from the shore.

nights this evening with Andrew

play is by Eugene Walter, author
of paid in Full" and is strong in
