TFEATER. ~ The Burns johnson
fight pictures at the Theater are be-
ing shown matinee and evening daily
all this week and are arousing con-
siderable interest among the boxing
fraternity. A review of the entertain
ment will be found on the sporting
page.
ORPHEUhI--Taken all the way
through the bill at the Orpheuln this
week maintains the average of Or
pheum entertainments. Some of the
acts are novel and startling, for In
stance the performance of the cats in
the act called ..Silbons Novelty Cir
Gus 1t is nothing new to see ponies
and dogs as well trained az the Sill
bons carry, but the way their feline
assistants perform loop the loop" and
similar stunts shows new possibilities
with cats heretofore undreaned of.
Loney Hakell. the nonolognist, tugs at
that same old lock OF hair in the same
old way, and incidentally tells some,
good and some shady Jokes. The
sketch entitled. Jealous About Moth
ing. given by Thomas II. Persse and
Edith Mason combines number OF
amusing situations with some really
enjoyable singing. Both have GOOD
advantage. An European comedy act
is put on by the Vindobonas, which in
lcludeSs, besides some alleged funny
things, some really artistic work by
one of the comedians" on a big has
soon, and by the "other. on a violin.
Elsie Faye, Joe Miller and Sam Wes-
ton do two or three high class dane
ing acts, the young men being espec-
Tally talented In the Terpsichorean
line TheNthree Leightons. in "a One
Night Stand IN Minstrelsy" produce
some old time minstrel singing. and
some comedy dialogue. The hop
ping. OF the bell member of the trio
is amusing. The bill ends with what is
sunquestionably the best piece of tight
wire work ever seen on the Orpheum
stage BY the four Poncherrys, who
are doing their first American tour.
COLONIAL. "a Message From
Mars presented last evening at the
Colonial, has been written with the
laudable object Of making men more
ialtruistic and less selhsn. 1t It is pre-
sented the most selfish man on earth.
who would not take his aunt to a
dance to which she wanted to go.
Through the thoushtfulness Of friend
the ladies were able to go and the
most selfish man stayed home and
read his astronomical book about
Mars. He fell asleep and dreamed
that asvisitant from the ruddy planet
visited him. Assuming power over
him, the man from Mars then takes
him through course of study with
the object OF roofing out mis- inmate
selfshness. He is made to give to the
poor and the destitute, but he does
it grudg;nsly. showing that his heart
has not yet been changed. In the mn
fishing touches of his new education he
is Informed that his bank has failed,
and later that his housa has burned, SO
that he is compelled to beg like the
tramp whom he once expelled. The
awakening takes place in the third act
when he learrs that It has been q ter
-ible dream. He remembers and acts
upon it. for ha immedia tely brings In
ttile destitute from large fire and
feeds them in his home. The acting
of all the principals. including Beres-
ford Lovett. L.. J. Hall, Alfred Beau
mont and May Hurst was up to the
Colonial standard, Margaret Dunno
and Maurice Cass being especially
good In their respectice parts.
