oRPHEUM'S NEW OFFERING
is FAR ABOVE THE AVERAGE

Ocular demonstration is certain ed
ucation for the masses. Therefore, the
motion picture of the life of the COM
mon house fly, shown as a portion of
the Orpheum vaudeville program, is
worthy of close attention and high
praise. The picture, which shows the
real menace to civilization that the
house fly is, may not be pleasant
thing to watch, but 1t Is lesson in
sanitation which all persons should
learn. Those who are prone to walk
out lust as soon as the curtain falls
on the final act Of the Orpheum pro-
gram should hesitate few minutes
and watch the picture, then go home
and begin a war of determination on
flies and vermin of all sorts.
Aside from the motion picture there
are four excellent new acts on the Or
pheum bill this week. Since the hold
overs are high class the entire Dill Is
above the average.
Charles f. Semon, "The Narrow Fell
ler" has an inimitable act. full of mu-
sic and clever comedy. Though he has
been over the circuit before he is we'll
worth seeing again.
r. Roy Barnes and Bessie Crawford
entertain in breezy manner with their
sketch of music, nonsense, sleight-of-
hand tricks and clever patter. Mr.
Barnes is exceptionally clever in ev-
erything he does and has his audience
laughing all the time.
"The Mayor and the Manicure" is
one of the best sketches on the Or
pheum circuit It has dramatic worth
and comedy in abundance. The youth
full indiscretions of a college boy, son
of the mayor, furnish the plot of the
piece, which is worked out in dex-
trous manner by Mr.. Holt and his three
assistants.
once in a while a tabloid musical
comedy which is worthy of praise is
presented by the Orpheum manage
ment. Such is "The Leading Lady"
with Margaret Haney, Ralph Lynn
and Ed Coleman in the leading roles.
The piece is full of action, music and
mirth. The football game, in which
the audience takes part, is but one of
the features of the sketch. Miss Ha
ney can dance gracefully and is pretty
She gives the proper artistic touch to
her role Mr.. Lynn makes a most eX
cellent Englishman. In fact, he is In
a class by himself as far as person
ating Britishers for stage purposes
goes. He is extremely graceful and
his antics Keep the audience in con-
stant giggle. Mr.. Coleman as the Eng
lish valet never forgets his coster in
tonation. He also is artistic. The cho-
rus girls are full of ginger and dance
and are rarely pretty. Taken by
large, "The Leading Lady" is excep-
tionally worth while.
Holdover acts are La Petite Gosse."

The scenes in which Rex Beach
placed his story, 1.-The Barrier

the first time in Los Angeles at the
Burbank theater next week, are Ia
miliar to Miss Marjorie Rambeau, the
leading woman of the Burbank COM
pany, as she passed more than a year
in Alaska and was all through the
Kyikuk country She met Rex Beach
several times and they frequently dis
cussed the dramatic possibilities of the
various characters which he was
studying, with view to writing novels
around them, but Miss Rambeau did
not dream, at that time, that she
would ever be called upon TO portray
any of the characters.

Fargo's offering this week at the Olym-
pic, is an excruciating comedy Which
introduces Miss Mable Bunyea to Los
Angeles. Miss Bunyea is most beau
tiful blonde with world of magnetism
and delightful voice.
The playlet is pretty little comedy
with a touch of sentiment, of which
Miss Bunyea makes the most. The play
gives Jules Mendel an excellent oppor-
tunity Blossom Seeley has a slavey
character in which for comedy she is
second only to Mendel. Her speciality
called forth numerous encores. Laurel
Atkins Blair in an eccentric old lady
part did a very humorous bit of clever
acting.
The O'Grady family, together with a
book agent and other fun makers, de-
lighted the crowd at the New Empire
last evening when "a Warm Recep-
ton" opened the bill for the week.
This was the second presentation by
Manager Lampson in the theater, and
it proved to be up to the standard
which he announced at the opening
week ago.
The show girls, elegantly costumed.
were on the stage almost constantly
and did speciality numbers galore. MISS
Nelson, the prima donna, was recalled
several times, while Mr.. Whitfield, the
baritone, responded to many encores
to his songs.

roar. while Charles Schory the eccen-
trio, proved a scream by himself

Quoted between London and Paris by

WAGES PAID OUT FOR FOOD
Figures Show That Bulk Of Earnings
Go for Absolutely Necessary
Expenses.

The standard of living among work.
men in this city has been Investigated
and reported on by the New York
Association for Improving the Condi.
ton of the Poor. The report shows
that among 1000 men. who had been
compelled to ask for aid, the average
yearly wage. when employed at full
time. varied from 3525 to $575. The
men whose statements were used In
this computation were practically all
able-bodisd, with families and anxious
to work. The percentage of skilled
and unskilled laborers in the 1000
was about equal. The average wage
fell more than 5000 short Of the $500
necessary for 4 decent standard Of
living under prevailing economic con-
ditions in this city. This standard
was fixed by . recent study made un.
der the Sage Foundation, which
showed It was impossible for family
of i've or six, the average size. to
maintain q normal standard OF living
on an income under $500 year. The
federal bureau Of labor reports an in
vestigation It made, showing the aver
age luCOm0 1WOu8 l,4lO WOTAmeu IN
the North Atlantic states. among
whom the percentage of skilled labor
was high. was $83l.83. Against this
was an average yearly expenditure of
377S04. OF which but 43 per cent. was
spent for food. A report based on re-
turns received from about 1000 fami-
lies in Berlin and Hamburg. in Ger
many, showed an average yearly In
come for skilled workmen there Of
1883. and the average expenditure
$457.71. Of which 351.5 per cent. was
spent for food alone. These figures
were obtained by the imperial statisti-
cal department Of Berlin. and COM
mented on in London newspapers.
Among the unskilled laborers in In
dustrial and commercial occupations.
the report showed an average yearly
income Of $40e.7S. and an average
yearly expenditure Of s411.70. Of
which 81 per cent. went for food
alone.
