OAKLAND. Sept. 21.-Rev. HerbAt
S. Bigelow, distinguished Clergyman
and noted orator of Cincinnati O.,
addressed the Tri-City rotary club at
noon today on The Commission Form
of Government"
DR.. Bigelow declared that he had de-
voted much study to different forms
of government and had found that
there was wide room for Improvement
in the municipal management of most
cities and asserted that if private
business were carried on according to
the principles upon which many munic-
ipa lities were conducted bankruptcy
surely would result.
The speaker said that a commission
form of government. was logical be-
cause it attempted to introduce into
municipal mana cement practical busi-
ness principles that were followed in
private enterprises.

TALLEST ACTOR IS
star AT 0RPHEUM
Realistic Depletion of "Jack the
Giant Killer" Delights
Throngs

OAKLAND, Sept 21.-Big George
Anger, said to be the tallest actor in
the world, is at the Oakland Orpheum
again with his little dwarf in Jack.
the Giant Killer" The production is
even better than last year, when the
fascination exercised by the simple
fairy tale made itself apparent in the
throngs of both young and old who at
tended the performance and were de-
lighted with the realistic depletion of
the popular legend.
The events of the story are enacted
in large cave that represents the
home of the giant" There the mon
ster ogre is sought by the diminutive
Jack. All the zest that the fairy tale
demands is put into the production. and
at the finish, when the giant is slain
by the little fairy hero. tfe young folks
scream with delight, and the older ones
awake from a dream of long years
ago. The act is novel in every way,
and is a big drawing card.
For those who love four part sing
ing the Bison City four make one of
the best quartets heard in a long time.
These young men have splendid voices
that blend with the harmony of a
church organ.
From Europe comes the Jack Artois
duo. whose mixture of fun and athletic
skill is good for many a laugh.
The Top O. th' World" aggregation
has been retained with the unique col
lie ballet feature, and continues to be
one of the biggest numbers on the
bill. "Sweethearts,' the new playlet
by Sir w. S. Gilbert. of '.Mikado" fame,

Connolly. has scored a decided hit, and
is conceded on all sides to be as dainty
sketch as has ever been shown in
vaudeville.
Mckay and Cantewell. in their
sketch, THE Great White Way" offer
some lively comedy stunts, and the
Krags trio of acrobats round out
program of excellence.
