.MACICLANAT
WASHINGTON

It would be a captious critic in
deed that could cavil at the enter
tainment to be offered at the Wash
ington for the week starting with
the matinee tomorrow. Not only is
it one of the best put together bills,
it is also one Of the most expensive
programs of the season.
Albini, the Mysterious, is the prin-
cipal headliner. He brings to Spo-
kane two baggage cars of equipment
to properly present his numerous
illusions. Mentioning some of the
sensational illusions, Albini will
present here are "The Sato Chair"
never before attempted by any ma
gician; then there are "Transpar-
ent," a new and mystifying Illusion;
"The Bridal Chamber" "The Mar
velous Glass Trunk" Cremation"
and others equally Elusive.
A genuine novelty is the thrilling
act of the Scott Brothers, duo of
athletic foreigners, who bring to
this country an equilibristic feat
called Looping the Loop" The
gymnasts carry an upright circle,
two feet wide and IL feet in diam
eter. The men take head to head
positions with their feet braced
against the highest points of the
circle.
EstelIe Wordette is known as the
winsome mirthmaker. Together
with an excellent supporting com
pany, Miss Wordette will present
the one act comedy, "a Honeymoon
in the Catskills." If anyone has a
case of the blues, we can recon-
mend them the act Of George Dewey
and the Sisters Dayton. They pre-
sent a melange of rollicking songs
and gingery dances. George B. Alex
ander is a single entertainer. He is
billed as "The High Toned Rube'
and this is purest travesty. He has
long list of newest stories to un
load and they are of the entertain
ing kind. The "Waco Belle" Miss
Beulah Dallas, is a sweet voiced
singer of the southland, with rep
ertoire of latest melodies.

ELABORATED ACT
AT ORPHEUM

One of the most elaborate acts
ever presented at the Orpheum will
appear on the bill as the headline at
the matinee ntomorrow afternoon.
1t is entitled "The Picture of Dor
ian Gray" and is dramatization OF
Oscar Wilde's story. The dramatic
alton is by Edwards Davis, M. A.,
who appears in the principal role.
Beauty and strength are attributes
of this sketch, which is filled with
the cynicisms and scintillating wit
Of the genius Wilde. The story
deals with a man and woman who
kill the things they most love and
find what to them is infinitely pref
cradle. The pride of beauty is killed
in one; the pride Of intellectually
in the other. The act is a tremen-
dous one and the production it is
given will outrival anything of its
sort seen at the Orpheum in
months.
James Thornton, one Of Ameri-
cas- most famous humorists and
sonk writer's, will appear in a series
of his newest song and timely ay-
ing. He is the composer of When
You Were Sweet Sixteen" and other
hits which have been sung the
world over. He has an ample fund
of real humOr.
One of the best trained animal
acts ever imported will be seen in

Lasky, the man originated "The
Pianophiends" and other big mus
ical hits. The Imperial Musicians
are IL in number and every member
is a soloist of ability. The music
they play ranges from the thunder
GUS grand overture to the catchy
ragtime.
The Carlton & Terre company of
four people come with lively and
laughable Irish comedy singing and
dancing act. entitled "Where
There's a Will There's Way" The
act is filled to the brim with lively
songs.
"a Daughter of the Gods" is the

to present her in the latest Barrie
comedy. What Every Woman
