to disclose his identity, but to await a
favorable opportunity for exposing the
impostor. However, he happens to
meet Nellie Wagner, the brewers
daughter, and a minutes conversation
with her is enough to show him that
| the Americans are innocent of any part
| in the deception-that the situation has
| been forced upon them. In full enjoy
ment Of the affair he remains COM
| moner and permits the blundering
brewer to involve them both in a series
of ludicrous situations, but falling in
| love with Nellie the real prince finally
declares himself and happily ends the
! complications.
| OIYMPIC-Alphin and Fargo of the
| Olympic offer 1.-THE Pickle Buyer" as
| the vehicle for the hstrionie and mu-
! sical talents Of their company for the
coming week. This is said to be one
of Producer Charles Alphin's funniest
! travesties. The piece has been writ
ten around Jules Mendel, the Olympics
| premier comedian, and that he will
extract all the comedy possible from
his role goes without saying. Mendel
! will play the part of a hotel keeper
! ever ready to flim1am the innocent
| ones from the country Monte Carter
/ will once more demonstrate his ver-
| satility by appearing as the "Reu-
! ben" for the occasion. Dave Norris
| has been cast for the hotel bellhop and
! in this part he will find outlet for his
peculiar style of eccentric comedy.
The fun of the burlesque centers
| around the many icon" games which
are worked on the pickle buyer from
the country and comedy situations are
many and humorous.
| ORPHEUM-The hear approach OF
| Christmas and the spirit engendered by

play. "DinkelspiePs Christmas" writ
| ten by that clever humorist George v.
| Hobart, for Lambs club gambol The
playlet's success in this critical assem-
bly, led to it's instant appropriation for
the Orpheum circuit, an honor few such
playlets ever get. The sketch tells the
| quaint story of an old German couple
who await at Christmastime the return
| of son Louey, who is, in their minds,
destined to wed Lena. Louey comes,
but with him Is his chorus girl wife,
and, meanwhile, Lena has looked with
! fond heart upon the French chef of a
4Oc table d. hote. The hearts of fader
| and mutter are almost broken, till they
see the bouncing youngster, their Louey
| grandson, when all is reconeiled, and
| Christmas is duly celebrated in full and
| fine fashion.
