! Olympic at every performance.
| The plot concerns a rich German
with a wife addicted to bargain hunt
ing. This irritates Mr.. Mazuma, and
! in order to stop her buying he mas
ouerades as a detective and gets a
position in her favorite purchasing
| ground With the scene and setting in
| the department store many com1caI
situations arise between the pseudo de-
tective, the floor walker, the propr1e-
tor, the bargain mania wife and the
clerks.
Jules Mendel will have the part of
Mr.. Mazuma. Monte Carter will re-
turn to his Hebrew impersonations and
will play the part of the proprietor of
the store. Dave Morris is expected to
get much humor out of the part of the
foorwalker, while Hazel Douglas,
Frances Paon, Gale Henry Rosabelle
Cohan and Vera Ransdale will fill the
feminine roles. Tracy McDermott will
be featured in musical numbers and
will have special part in the produc-
ton, while all the rest of the Olympic
cast and chorus will appear to adVan-
tage in the singing and dancing num-
bers which will be interpolated at OPP
perfume times.
ORPHEUM-Ranging from hilarious
farce to equally hilarious foolery, the
Orpheum bill for the week beginning
Monday matinee, October 10, will be
one big laugh.
The prominent place on the new
bill goes to High Life in Jail" farce
by Ren Shields. 1t concerns a group
of prisoners in duress, who, through
the kindness of a fun loving keeper,
aer provided with all the luXuries of
modern club life. They wear stripes.
tits true, but the stripes are tailored
into evening clothes style; they have
billiard tables, champagne luncheons
and -the like till they are so enrap-
tured with their life behind the bars
that they cannot be pried loose from
it. Golf a piano and the other at
tributes of high society are not lack
ing and the half dozen "felons' are
highly pleased with their confinement.
In view of a somewhat similar event
actually happening in San francisco
recently the story of the skit is not at
all improbable, it would seem.
Rameses is the name taken by
gentleman said to be the most expert of
all magicians Magic is still fascinat-
ing as stage spectacle and Rameses
is declared to have brought it up to
the final point OF perfection. In
"Temple of Mysteries he does SEEM
ingly incredible feats Sacrificing a girl
to the flames, only to reincarnate her
and making his own death a subject
for his own resurrection are simple to
him.
The four Rianos are to offer a skit
!
three men in the act are made up as
monkeys and their contortioning is so
wonderful that 1t seems impossible
that they can be human. The girl as
an eccentric slavey is the comedy
maker.
-zellah Covington and Rose Wilbur
have a sketch written by the former
called 1.-The Parsonage" In it the
tw play seven characters in as many
scenes, thus making it protean Of
fering of novelty. The sketch tells
quite little story and is breezy and
fast. The changes are necessarily
made in jig time, but the acting is
not sacrificed, owing to the odd con-
struction of the play. 1t is decided
