oRPHEUM THEATRE.

Vilmos Westony, who headlines the Or
pheum bill that will be given its first pre-
sentation this afternoon, is looked upon
in Hungary, his native land, as q second
Paderewski. His capture for the Orpheum
circuit was one of the master strokes Of
Martin Beoks recent European tour
Westony, though classieist, realizes that
in vaudeville he is appealing and enter
tanning all classes Of music lovers. Hence
he exhibits his ability in the best of com
positions and at the same time gives some
exhibitions which put him closely into the
popular fold. For instance, one of his
stunts is TO initiate q complete orchestra
on the piano Keyboard, ana another is his
own composition, wherein he blepds the
national anthems of the United States,
England, Germany and France. He makes
one composition of them, yet keeps each
in its distinctive key. WestOny varies his
artistry with a mOnologue that is de
scribed by San Francisco critics as fun
nier than anything seen in that city in
months In his playing he is q finished
artist and will be found an entertainer Of
parts, charming and satisfying.
Claud and Fannie Usher, with "Hagan' s
Decision the sketch in which they last
appeared here; likewise with Spareribs.
Miss Usher's discOnsOlate dog, win also
be on the program. "Fagan's Decision"
has to do with a pTiZe-fighteT who re
formed and a Waif whom he adopted. The
sketch teens with fun and DathOs, so
skillfully mingled as to produce a perfect
result in the way Of a vaudeville sketch.
James HaTrlgan, JuggleT and mOnOlOg-
list, is the original of all the tramp Jug
glers and, in the minds of his many ad-
mirers, the best Of them all. He has been
welcomed and rewalcOmed all over the
west, and is proving q greater card this
year than ever before. Last season Harri-
gan played in the east, but has returned
this year to what he says his his only
bfe-the west.
Another act that has been making good
is The Making of a Man." a sketch in
which Mildred Morris is starred. Miss
Morris takes the role of the boy, part in
which she long since won fame The play
let is clever and is daintily presented by
Miss Morris and company, which includes
Bruce Brayton and G. T.. Schaffer
Miss Pauline Moran is one of the best
known of the singers of coon songs. Her
repertoire is extensive and we'll varied. In
addition to her songs she has a line Of
comedy monologue that is described as
very taking.
Kronenaan brothers are s. German impOr-
tatiOn. Dressed as clowns they give an
exhibition of acrobafie work and hand-to-
hand balancing. as well as head-tO-head
feats of equilibrium that Is well worth
while. Their comedy finale Is said to be
extremely diverting.
Cook and Stevens come with hilarious
skit entitled. mo Check-ee. No Wash-ee, :"
in which the two principals, as a coiored
man and a Chinaman, respectively. enact
the adventures of q ''eOllud' gem'man
who endeavors to secure from the laun-
dryman. shirt. the check for which he
had lost. The result may easily be mag
ined.
The Orpheum orchestra viii provide its
usual program numbers In its customary
admirable style. and there will be new
kinodrome pictures.
