.ORPHEUM PRESENTS
Clever PROGRAM
New Acts Include Some That
Have Met Tremendous Sue
cess Elsewhere

OAKLAND, Oct. 15.-Lovers of clever
dancing will be rewarded by visit to
the Oakland Orpheum this week, for
William Rock and Maude Fulton. who
are considered by critics to be the most
expert and inventive dancers on the
stage. will make their appearance at
tomorrow's performance and will stay
two weeks. For over two years the
pair have been successful in New York.
Previous to that they were featurs of
Lew Fields ''The Orchid"
TONY and the Stork'' is the name of
a one act play by John B. Hymer. in
which Maurice Freeman and Nadine
Winston perform. Fireman imperson-
ates an Italian, visiting a sanatorium
where his wife is, and the play shows
the contrast of his temperament when
he is, told that his wife is dead and
later when he finds this is mistake.
The Neapolitans, a trio of soloists,
will also make their appearance at to-
morrow's performance. Este1le Ward,
Marion Littlefield and Signor Francesca
Manetta make up this trio. and they
render classics and a potpourri of
Neapolitan songs charmingly.
The other new act will be that of
Work and Over, Europes foremost
gymnasts. They were immensely pop
ular three years ago when they We're
with the Orpheum. and were brought
back to the United States at the first
opportunity. Their work is original
and clever, and is intermixed with
comedy.
Eugene and Willie Howard certainly
made hit during the past week with
their brisk comedy chatter, their imi-
tations and their singing. Next week
they will have a lot of new songs, as
catchy as those they sang this week.

A DARING TEST
IN AVIATION
GRAND CANON IN ARIZONA
WAITING TO BE CONQUERED
BY BIRD MEN.

Tuscon, Ariz., Dec. 21.-A flight by
bid men over the Grand Canon Of
the Colorado river in Arizona is to
be an event OF the near future II the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe road
can arrange it. Already the com
pany has been in communication with
the owners Of the Bleriot-Farnam
aeroplane, and it is expected that this
company will send man to the can
on to investigate conditions there.
The aeroplane men are not at all
confident that such flight is prac-
ticable because of the probable sue
ton when over the ditch" The
Grand Canon is seven thousand feet
above the sea level and from the rim
TO the Colorado river, the lowest part
Of the canon, is five thousand feet.
1t is about thirteen miles across
where the flight will be made.
The air men say that they must
first ascend two thousand feet above
the ground before lowering over the
canon to avoid the chance OF suction
from below. If this is done the ma
chimes would then be about nine
thousand feet above the sea, about
as high as any of them has yet gone.
Tests will be made at the canon
by sending up small balloons to as
certain the amount of suction. If It
is found that this suction IS not as
great as is now believed it is prob
able that arrangements for a Grand
Canon aeroplane meet soon will be
made.
