ORPHEUM-Every number ON the
bin at the Olpheum this week Is worth
seeing. A crowded house greeted the
performers last evening and the audi.
cncc was kept in a roar uf laughter
almost from the first TO the last num-
Der.
The program opens with "a singing
and dancing act by Carroll and Baker,
they can certainly sing and dance, bus
little iudiciOus use OF embalmiug
huid on some OF the alleged jokes would
be timely.
Vernon, the ventriloQuist, with his
six dummies, does some exceptionally
clever work, and exercises the good
Judgment Of not making The act too
long. Another pleasing number is the
appearance of Anna Woodward, so
prano, Her rendition OF Love In the
sprlngtime," was greeted by big APP
plauso.
The playlet entitled His Local col
orr by Miss Una Clayton who plays
the leading role, is decidedly good, but
consumes too much time. Her por-
trayal OF a Bowery character is eXcep-
tionally well done.
The scream" of the evening was the
singing and dancing of Peter Donald
assisted by Meta Carson. Donald is "a
real ScotChmau, and his witty sayings
funny songs and the troubles he en-
counters while. on his way home from
Scotch ball, under the influence Of
liquor, keeps the audience In a roar of
mirth,
The four Franklins in their nying
novelty furnish the headliner. Their
act or rather series Of acts. are most
remarkable, and their daring feats OF
tumbling caused many a thrill. This
act IS from Europe and some Of the
feats they perform have not been seen
here before
