Ever since the Orpheum opened the
season Of 1910-1l with a corking good
| Dill. each week following There has been
| an improvement over the bill of the pre-
cedine week, until the acme has appar
| presented at this playhouse this week,
| opening Sunday afternoon IL is the
| pest bill ever presented at the Orpheum
and Is as far ahead OF the so-called road
shows. which appear once each season.
as the road show Is above the poorest
| seen in vaudeville.
That which can be designated as the
| headliner this week is the operatic fes-
tlvai. two picturesque musical episodes,
| portrayng Gypsy Life and the Car
nival Of Venice ~ The company In this
festival have splendid voices, and the
| melody which they produce is magnil
cent. There are solos, and duets. and
tros. and seXtcts, and In the finale a
potpourrl OF musical gems And the
company differs from an ordinary grand
opera company In that they are all ex-
ceptional in their roles The female por-
ton are all handsome and they have
| marvellous voices. There arc four So
| s,N,fs Irs.,,
there are three contraltos. In ten
ors. there are two. as there are two
| barltones and a yiolniste. And what
delightful music this company does rem
der. II there were nothing else than
the song The Last Rose OF Summer
as sung by Miss Bertha Siefert. with a
Violin obllgato by Miss Eula Brunnele
one would be repaid for having gone TO
the playhouse. but the eight numbers in
tho festival are each given In a most
perfect manner II is. said above. a
superb company. each member OF which
has splendid voice. The stage settings
beautiful, and II there was nothing else
upon the bill but this company of sing
ers. the show, as the press agent would
say. rs we'll worth the price of admis-
sion
There is a sketch, 1.-The Police Inspec-
tor, In which several clever people ap-
pear notably Scott Sigglns as. Inspector
Carson, and ]. j. Williams as Mary Raj
ferty. The third degree is brought into
the sketch, but in such form that there
IS no torture, no majesty of the law is
vindlcatcd.
Then there are the Rossow midrets,
who do a stunt that is more than clever.
Their acrobatic performance is q top
notcher and their boxing match is ex-
ceptional They wore encored again and
again
The opening number is a marvellous
performance given by Cavana an aerial
contortionist His act is the best Of its
trynt Nl1 %
and his work elected generous and de-
served applause.
Marie. Marie Fenton. the blond black" is
beautiful woman. She wears handsome
gowns. She has a fine voice and her
songs are Of the popular kind. She was
recalled several times and the audience
did not want her to leave the stage
Lon Anger is a comedian. He has a
new stunt, The German Soldier" a
character sketch that is very humorous
and which caught the big audience, He
caused his recall a second time.
II would seem that the cycling stunts
which have been presented could not be
improved upon nor could anything new
or novel be added. but In the Boyer
brothers act OF The Cycling Messen-
gers. there is presented the best cycling
act ever seen here and a number Of novel
features are introduced,
Added 10 all this is the delightful music
of Professor Weihe's orchestra and the
kinodrome pictures 1t is the, best bill
here at the Orpheum. 1t will run the
week.
