At the Orpheun,

Eight real Geisha girls from
Japan are the headline attraction
on the coming bill at the Orpheum,
which opens with the matinee Sun
day afternoon. The girls have ap-
peared in London, Paris, Vienna,
Berlin and New York, and in every
city have been accorded highest
praise. Their act is perhaps the
biggest novelty of the seasons
vaudeville. They were never out
of Nagasaki until they started on
the present tour. They appear in
the dainty Japanese costumes and
dance an dsing to the weird accom-
paniment of the samisens or Japa-
nese banjo. Their posturing is a
delight to the eye. Geishas ap-
pear at all the formal functions in
Japan and many of the foremost
women in Japan were at one time
Geisha girls. Years of study in the
art is required to attain the perfec-
ton to be seen at the Orpheum
next week.
Just to laugh--that's all" is the
way Brown, Harris and Brown are
billed. Harry Brown, the leader of
the trio, is one of the real funny
men in vaudeville today, and he
keeps things moving every minute.
VilmOs Westony, the great Hun
garian pianist, who has set Europe
talking on account of his remark
able technique, is another promi-
nent member of the bill. So com
plete is his mastery of the piano
that he can get the effect of a
whole orchestra out of the piano.
He is considered the greatest phe-
nomena since the day of Pader-
ewski.
Claud and Fannie Usher IN
"Fagan's Decision" are not new to
Orpheum patrons, nor have they
been forgotten. although it was in
August, 1908, that they appeared
here in the opening bill Their
sketch, full of bright lines and well
written dialogue, is crisp and terse.
while the serious parts are artistic
and intensely interesting. They
are the pair who have made
"Spareribs" famous. The dog is a
distinct feature of their Offering
