fast upon one another will give the

talents.

men during his wifes absence.

ORPHEIM-For the week begin
ming Monday matinee August 8, the
Orpheum will again offer one of those
perfectly rounded and we'll selected
series of entertainments which of late
have proved so satisfying to its capac-
ity houses. Every act on the new bill
will vary from every other act thus
making no clashes and giving true
variety to the whole.
Marion Murray, featured last season
as one of the Murray sisters, is the new
headliner, offering, with support of a
clever company, a highly diverting
farce, 1.-The Prima Donna's Honey
MOON" In this Miss Murray portrays
singer who, true to the class, has
many fads. Her husband is not one
who believes in these oddities, and the
plot, worked out to a logical but very
funny conclusion, not only shows a
happy denuoment, but there is oppor-
tunity also for Miss Murray to sing.
AS she is a stunning loking girl, and
as her company has been carefully
selected, the whole has resulted in a
perfect blend, edifying as it is amusing.
Signor TraVato comes simply billed
as the eccentric violinist, but when it
is added that he stopped the show"
three times on his opening in San
Francisco it will be realized that some
thing extraordinary may be expected.
Travato is a Filipino, and he handles
his violin as a cello Is ordinarily held
From his very extensive repertoire, he
plays as the mood strikes him, in most
original fashion, combining rag time
and the classics in one selection, mar
velously blended. He will be a star
number beyond doubt.
Jolly Fanny Rice, veteran of the
musical comedy days, comes with her
Miniature Mimic Stage" This, some
what remindful of the old Punch and
| Judy puppet show, though of course
with modern improvements. Many of
! her concepts are charming, while others
are the broadest travesty.
Aubrey Pringle and George Whiting,
| two clever entertainers and singers,
have skit which they call Breaking
| into Vaudeville" OF course they are
not breaking in," as both have been
seen before, though not together. But
this name is as good as any for their
work, which is bright, jolly and uncon-

| PRINCESS-From politics to agriF
| culture the Princess musical comedy

! Down on the Dear Old Farm" will

| the production.
The scene is laid in the interior of a
| country farm house. All the usual

lesuue troupe, while Mabelle La We're

riment, while songs galore are to be
interpolated featuring the chorus in
oau and startling costumes.
