ORPHEUM

Though handicapped by lack OF
all semblance of an orchestra, aside
from a piano, performers on the
Orpheum bill for this week went
through with their work yesterday
and last evening in manner that
leaves little room for complaint on
the part of the audiences. Trouble
over the payment of certain wage
scale was the cause of the absence
Of the orchestra, but luckily the
performances are each of nature
that are little hindered by the abb
sence of the customary music down
in front. There is nothing really
original about the bill, yet few Of
the numbers, especially Edward
Ross, the monologist and banjoist,
and the Bison City Four bring down
the house and are compelled to an
swer to encOres. Ed F. Renard,
presenting "A Morning in Hicks
ville," refreshes memories Of the
old days when the ventriloquist,
with his little mechanical dummies,
was the rage the country over.
Renards act Is exceedingly COM
zeal, depicting an auto spede fiend
held up In "Hicksville" by the be-
whiskered country constable, a run
by the rural fire patrol and giving
talks by the natives. He is an ex-
cellent ventrilouist and the ex-
treme beauty of the scenery used
aids much In pleasing the audi
ences. Pilu, with his mind reading
dog, Is about the most eccentric in
rendering his part of the perform
ances of any entertainer the Or.
pheum has ever admitted to its
program. OF course the people
laugh, but not at the dog. He is
really quite intelligent. The pro.
gram states that Pilu is the talk OF
Europe, and one attending the Or.
pheum this week has no reason to
doubt 1t.
Miss Mary Norman, presenting
"Some Types of Women" is well
liked, and several of her depictions
of character are truer to nature
than usually seen on the stage. Mr.
James Young, assisted by Miss
Lorayne Osborne and Robert
Strayss, Is scoring a bowling sue.
cess In his college farce, wanted,
a Sister" He Is caught by his be-
trothed at a cafe. dining with 9
show girl. His roommate, in try
ing to fix things for him, dresses
rs a woman and is introduced az
his sister. 1t is rich.

WASHINGTON

Helen Beresford and Company in
1.-THE Pantaloon Skirt" are the
headliners at the Washington thea
ter this week. Billy Howard falls
in love with very mannish actress
and his wife dons the trouserettes
in an effort to cure his infatuation
for the woman. William Cahill
certainly lives up to the reputation
of "Dublin's Idol" His Irish melo-
dies and funny jokes are the fea-
lures of his act.
Bandy and Fields have an excel
lent dancing and singing act, while
Charles e. Colby and Lille e. May
present a novel entertainment en-
titled "The Ventriloquist and His
Dancing DOLL" Frobel and Ruge,
aerial acrobats. do some good work,
but their act is-old and already well
known to the public of Spokane.

AUDITORIUM


The humor and witticisms OF
John L. Kearney as Con Ryan, head
waiter in a stockyards restaurant,
form the most entertaining phase
of 1.-THE Girl Question. Kearney
Is a real comedian and does 1t SO
naturally and with such ease that
he is the favorite from the start.
In the matter of pretty girls, late
songs, gaily costumed choruses ana
all other things that 60 to make a
popular girl show, the piece is
the equal Of anything that has been
here SO far this season. The Choir
us girls dance and gambol about
the stage with the gayety of chill
dren at play, all of which goes to
delight the audience. The girl,
about whom these seems to be the
question, Is Elsie Davis, a cashier,
portrayed in winning manner by
Dorothy Maynard. Virginia stuart
does the part in good style of Jes-
sic, a stenographer, | romoted to be
the wife of her millionaire employ
er, and with Miss Maynard takes
the lead in the solo parts. Helene
MCGOWAN as Joe Foster, a waitress
with a large heart, plays a rather
serious part in view of her sur
roundings, but her work struck a
popular chord. There are a lot of
other clever people that add to the
merriment of the occasion and help
to drive away the dull moments.
Among the song hits were There's
No Place Like Home" "The Imita-
ton Craze" and II Hate to Work
on Monday" "The Girl Question"
will be presented again this after.
noon and tonight.

PANTAGES

Minerva, called the American
queen of mystery" is easily the
bright and shining star at the Pan
tages this week. She Is locked In
an alright barrel secured with
eight padlocks, which is filled to
the brim with water. Within five
minutes after she Is locked in the
barrel she appears before the audi
ence. A committee is invited to
the stake to investigate the barrel.
She also escapes from a straight
jacket in full view of the audience.
Rogers, Sherman and Luken
have a very original and comical
skit entitled, "A Visit to Uncle"
Frank O'Brien, late of the Ham
Tree company. made great hit
yesterday by his funny jokes and
eccentric dancing. William d. Gil
son is singing Roll on the Rolla-

STORY OF MAN AND THREE KIDS
TO SAY NOTHING OF TOY BALLOONS

1t was midday on Sunday at the
corner of Riverside and Howard,
and the cars were crowded to their
capacity. AS each one stopped 1t
was surrounded by struggling
throng trying to board it.
Lots of little laughable incidents
took place every minute, but the
greatest Joy Of all was when the
man with the three kids (they all
had toy balloons), baby carriage,
and a cigar came along.
He wanted himself, the kids, the
balloons. the cigar and the baby
carriage all to get on the car.
The Fun Begins.
And 1t was then that he real
vaudeville began.
First he showed the kids onto the
car--but they didn't go because
their balloons had all got tangled
up with one another.
He was bending over getting this
straightned out when the smoke
from his twofa cigar got in his eyes
and nearly blinded him.
Meantime the conductor was FUN
ing and the passengers were gently
chortling with delight.
At this point the conductor seized
two of the kids by the arms and
tried to drag them aboard, but one
of their balloons bursted and there
was pandemonium. And the con-
ductor wished he'd never spoken.
BY this time Mr.. Man was purple
in the face and all sweaty under
the collar.
Washes His Thumb.
His cigar was bothering him hor-
ribly, so he shut the baby carriage

with a slam-and mashed his
thumb. Yeeee-ee.
He banged the carriage on the
ground and it caught him on the
ankle. JOY! Oh, joy!
Then he did pas seul.
There was no attempting to dis
guise the laughter then, even the
conductor gave a fiendish grin, and
this made the man madden.
And the fur flew.
He spat out his cigar. bursted the
remaining balloon and threw the
kids and the baby carriage onto the
car inside of two seconds.
And the conductor said, "A-a-ll

dumb on the street, George E.
Jayne was picked up by the police
at an early hour Saturday morning
on Main avenue by Officers Good

to the station he made strenuous
efforts to give the police some in
formation about himself, but was
unable to even tell his own name.
From letter in his pocket it
was found that his name is George
Jayne. When he attempted to
speak all he could say was my
God! can't tell" Letters on his
person indicate that he stopped at
the Pedicord hotel in this city for
q while, and one letter was a COM
munication from his daughter at
tending the Syracuse university,
Syracuse, New York. The police
