FINE AND Varied.
0RPHEUM PROGRAM

Manager Mueller of the Orpheum
this week is dishing up varied
program in which everyone can
find favorite, no matter what his
or her tastes are.
For genuine old-fashioned Irish
wit, eloquence and fun Tom Ryan
and Miss Richfield in mag Hag-
gerty's Reception" are among the
best who have been to Spokane in
some time. The antics Of the plain,
untutored man who tries to do and
say the right things in polite so
ciety is always fund of amuse-
ment on the stage and Mag Hag-
gerty's Reception" furnishes just
that situation. Mrs. Ma-shay-on,
nee Haggerty, played by Miss Rich
field, is of course anxious that her
dad behave properly when intro
duced into society. Tom Ryan's
Haggerty is true to everyday life
and is well-rounded out in its de-
tails.
The show opens with Lydell and
Butterworth in a dancing and sing
ing act. 1t is their first appear
ance here and they are both clever.
Baseball fans get no little amuse-
ment out of the sketch, swat Null
ligan." Swat being one of the fire
eating baseball players who always
knocks the ball mile and has
batting average of 1000. The scene
is laid outside a baseball park, but
a knothOle is as good as a grand
stand seat for the messenger boy
and the little BOwery girl whose
emotions during the game keep the
audience laughing. Their explana-
ton of the game to foreigner who
doesn't understand, and never
could, furnishes good part Of the
fun.
The other acts are all up to the
Orpheum reputation. May Gilmore
and Irene Jermon in 1.-TWO Stroll
ing Players; The Avon Comedy
Four. a quartet of clever singers, in
the burlesque. "The New School
Teacher; John McCloskey, the op-
cratic tenor, the favorite of music
lovers; the Sisters Klos in athletic
acts-all are worth seeing.

"miserere squad" of actors.
The naughtiness of the plays OF

ness, and some of the biggest stars
are playing in parts that would
