"A Romance OF hllldTilSy. He pay
let is brilliant with comedy and here
and there a touch of pathos. Mr..
O'Hearn has great opportunities to
display a remarkable tenor voice. OF
equal importance with Mr.. OHearn IS
Dick Crowlius, who as a 'slinger OF
slang is in class by himself. HIS
sketch is entitled Shorty" and is the
interesting and hugely funny tale of a
race track tout telling his life story to
group of society people whose occu-
patton is to ornament the drawing
room.
OF musical interest on the new bill
will be the Trocadero -Four in their
classical and humorous repertoire
Jeanette Dupree the charming singing
Coincidence, will be another bright
spot on the program with her stories,
her timely songs and her winning per-
sonality.
A musical act that is a novelty will
be offered by Boutin and Tillson in an
original skit, "a Yard of Music The
scene represents farm yard with all
the necessary farm implements lying
around. Those develop into musical
instruments from which the perform
ers get harmony.
Completing this attractive new bill
will be the Lavails, in a gymnastic eX-
hibition on the silver arch breakaWay
and the self-revolving bars.
NEW EMPIRE-"The Little Widow"
the opening production of the T1voli
comedy company, was so well received
that Mr. Kelly has decided to follow
it up with another comedy in which
the whms, fancies and scintillating
wit of the Irishman predominant. Ma
loney's Wedding" is the title of Mr..
Kelly's second offering and as one
would infer from the name, there will
be fun galore throughout the three
acts. Mr.. Kelly will be seen in one
of his best comedy roles, while the part
of Blatz, a German, will serve to IN
troduce Willis West, new member OF
the company. Mr.. Lancaster and Mr..
Whitfield will be heard in some new
and catchy songs, assisted by the enc
rus, which has been augmented by
two. Miss Massey has a prominent
role in the production and is sure to
add to the success she achieved in
1.-The Little Widow"
OLYMPIC-"The Game Warden" an
nounced by Alphin and Fargo as their
next offering at the Olympic, is an
other of those popular burlettaS for
which that theater is known. Plotless,
the buretta is the personification of
comedy which causes a continual roar
of laughter. 1t is built entirely upon
the absurd antics of a gameless game
warden whose ward proves him not to
be so game, after all. 1t is inter-
spersed with numerous tuneful novel
ties which will show the chorus at their
prettiest and bring out the best eff
forts of the excellent Olympic cast.
Jules Mendel will play the title role
Blossom Seeley will reVel as his ward.
Admirably cast will appear Vera Stan
lev, Monte Carter, Al Franks, Dave
Morris, Walter Spencer, Leonard Bris-
Il all ,rrtI Af hn on
tire company.
ORPHEUM - Vesta Victoria, the
most famous English singing come
denne in the world. is coming to the
Orpheum next week. Although she has
long been a prime favorite in the east,
this is her first trip to the Pacific
coast. the Orpheum Circuit company
having secured her at a tremendous
expense. When Miss Victoria first
came over to America her Daddy
Won't You Buy Me a Bow-WoW" be-
came known all over the land. Since
then she has popularized a great num-
Der of songs, the most famous recently
being waiting at the Church, and
"Poor John" For this tour she has
lot of new ones which never have been
heard here, and which will soon have
the whole town whistling the catchy
refrains But it is more as a character
comedienne than as a singer that Miss
Victoria has won her great reputation,
as she adopts Enthusiastically humorous
makeups and all her work is character
lied by broad burlesque. One of her
best things this year is a traVesty on
the Chanticler fad. She is unquestion-
ably one of the biggest drawing cards
of all the big headliners the Orpheum
has brought out to California.
Grigolati's ballet, which scored hit
when it was last here somthing over
year ago, has been brought back for
return engagement For this tour the
most effective of the novelties nave
been selected. opening with a butter
fly ballet and concluding with the
gorgeous dove ballet in which live
pigeons are used for the pictures and
figures.
Fred Warren and Al Blanchard, two
old favorites, bring an act that is me-
Iodious and funny Warren this year
introduces an impersonation of col
ored soubrette. 1t is the biggest scream
he has ever offered.
H. Franklin and the Standards are
acrobats and dancers who have Just
arrived from Europe, where they nave
been considered one of the novelties of
the season. They have become known
as the Giving rubber balls"
Other features of the bill will be the
dramatic sketch, 1.-THE Code Book"
paul Spadoni, the juggler, Lyons and
Yosco. the harpist and the singer, Hal
Merritt the cartoonist, and new mo-
ton pictures.
