"A Mans a Man for a That" as the

This will be children's week at the
Orpheum. Beginning with the matt

bill appealing especially to the little
folk. 1t will be headed by Captain
George Anger, the tallest actor on
earth, who is eight feet six inches
high, and who will appear in his own
sketch of Jack the Giant Killer"
with a company of midgets, including
Ernest Rommel as Jack. The sketch
is a thrilling replica of the fairy tales
of youth, reproduced in most lifelike
fashion, with weird light effects and
scenic investiture, and will be highly
realistic. On Saturday afternoon
reception will be held on the stage for
the youngsters, in which the captain,
Mr.. Rommel and the other little folk
will participate. Bert Kalmer and
Jessie Brown have a novelty dancing
act for this week, with beautiful ac-
cessories, some new songs and many
clever steps originated by Mr.. Kalmer.
The Jack Artois duo is team of
comedy acrobats, who in clown garb
do many astounding feats. The Bison
City four is the first quartet to visit
the Orpheum in some time, and as 1t
is oOne of the best known on the road,

ter impersonationS by its members

bear, the collie ballet and all the
pretty girls, remains to add joy to
childrens week, while M. and Mrs.
the Krags trio make up the rest of
the bill, with special motion pictures
to give it a final touch. Altogether, 1t
is one of the most attractive programs
the Orpheum has offered of late.
The visiting bankers are to occupy
all the seats at the Orpheum on the
nights of October and 6, when the
house will be turned over to them, at
the request of the entertainment COM

the representative theater for this
purpose.

senting one of Sir w. S. Gilbert's
plays, Sweetheart" at the Orpheum
this will no doubt go to see his most
famous opera, "The Mikado," at the
Auditorium, where it is to be sung

for seldom does a city house dramatic
and musical works by the same writer
in the same week.
