Orpheum-VaudevilIe

Commencing tomorrow afternoon ana
night the Birmingham Orpheum will have
seven acts instead of six, and the class
of acts will be considerably improved.
Martin Beck has completed his arrange
ments for sending his best acts here, and
more of them.
AS the first headliner of the new regime
will. be Georgus Anger & Co. in Jack, the
Giant Killer" a playlet taken from the
fable of that name, considered among
the most artistic attractions on the vaude-
Vile stage. Here truth is stranger than
fiction, inasmuch as the cast includes a
real giant and real Jack. George Anger,
the giant actor, and Ernest Rommel, the
smallest actor and singing comedian in
America. Thus, Jack, the Giant Killer
is presented in actual reality Messrs.
Anger and Rommel are ably assisted by
Sylvia Hearne, Caroline Hass and Daisy
Robinson. This sketch not only appeals
to the grown-ups but is thoroughly en-
joyed by the children.
Special scenery, lighting effects and the
work of an excellent company of players
makes this one of the most attractive
numbers on any programme.
James II. Cullen, the famous humorist,
reconteur and monologist, is always
a welcome star at the Orpheum. His pop
ularity is best shown by the fact that the
present tour over this circuit will be his
twelfth, and this season he plays his
twenty-fourth consecutive year in the
vaudeville theatres in Chicago. So well
established is Mr.. Cullen that no come
dian on the stage can boast of a greater
following than he.
Wherever vaudeville is popular as an
amusement James F. Kelly and Annie M.
Kent are welcome and firmly established

Romantic passions is out of sight in the
wake, gone down the wind but the affec-
tons are quite satisfying once one
reaches them. After all, the only ro-
mantle lovers who hold out to the end
are the unhappy lovers Since time was.
matrimony and work and steady aims
have always plowed the romantic emo
lions under. While the strong patience
and affection that can work easily in
double harness would never burn Troy
town or lose Actium's sea fight, it Gre
ates the world three times anew each
century and does the worlds work faith
fully. No lovers would change with Phile-
mon and Baucis, but no Woodworking
couples of whom we have record would
be young lovers again. They would as
soon change to a pair of whispering
trees or to harmless and beautiful green
and gold snakes summing themselves in a
mountain dell. Work done, no more fe-
vers and chills, no more fits and starts
for them; rather reabsorption into the
strength and silence and patient endur-
ance of the natural world

The Substance of Life.

From Harper's Weekly.
In middle age we no longer expect TO
find happiness lurking round the cor
ner. All the more we do begin TO look
Life IN h. ace o see VIVA really i
and thus seen, it acquires value. sub
stantiality we had not noticed before.
Some men never reach middle age-as
thus defined-at all. The poet that dies
young in every man. rarely If ever does.
The professional poets went young to
their graves whether with Chatterton' S
years or Walt Whitman's. They have
their nsations-assuredly, the poets
but no man who has tasted knowledge
of life, real and solid and good In itself,
would wish to return TO the stage in
which life is a mere medium for senti-
ment or love, or animal spirits. Per-
haps this is a reason why SO many
men of business and affairs are inclined to
be rather contemptuous of poets and
their works. They know that better
even than fine things said about life is
the life itself.
