Out Of Tune,

A piano tuner employed by a city
firm was sent to a certain suburb to
tune q piano. He found the instru-
ment in good condition and not in the
least need Of attention. A few days
later the firm received a letter from
the owner Of the piano, lady Of mu-
steal intention. saying that the piano
had not been properly tuned It was
no better than before After receiving
reprimand from his employer the
hapless tuner made another trip to the
suburbs and again tested every note
only to find. rs before. no fault with
the instrument. This time he told the
lady 30.

right. doesn't 1t. when you play on it.

You know how impulsively sympathetic

Buffalo Bill Again.
Buffalo Bill is here again with his

likely really IS, his last year as an actor
personating himself. Once again he
rides in on a brisk mustang at the
head of his cowboys, soldiers and In
dams; but General Custer isn't in the
reviewing bow, as he was at the earlier
seasons starts-for the brave Custer

the aviation meet at Rheims, and after
ia king a short flight became 50 deeply
interested in the science that he i'm

purchase of this machine with the
thought that it would be a great at

biplane is the smallest practical ma
chine in the world. and the only AM

pionship hOnors at Rheims. a competent
lecturer Will be present, and will tell
Orpheum audiences all about the ma
chine and how it works. An electric
aeroplane will do everything but fly
a feat which the limits Of the building
make impossible. In addition to the
lecture. a series OF motion picture views
will be given which show all the
famous aviatorS in action.
Gilmore and Jermon viii have an
other notable number on the bill They
are billed as Two Strolling Players,
but this scarcely serves to describe
their act, which consists of clever dia

been exceptionally successful all along
the circuit. Miss Violet King is an
English violinist of marked ability, who
combines with her experiences on that
instrument a clever pianOlogue, show
ing a versatility few possess. Miss
King also sings a song in talking voice
that has appealed much to OrpheUm aU-
dienceS elsewhere.

GRAND THEATRE,

A dramatizatiOn of "a WOman's Bit
ter Atonement," the novel written by
the weII-known Bertha NJ. Clay, Is TO
be presented at the Grand theatre for
one week, beginning with a Sunday
matinee. The play is founded upon
every day happenings in life, and is but
one Of the many stories OF heart-rend-
ing misery to which woman Is sub
jected. Diane BelfOur, when but
young child, has the misfortune to lose
her mother and then her father, but
before the latter's death, he appoints
Barneu Severn as guardian for his
child At the age of fifteen, Severns
makes love to her and she becomes
his wife. She is taken to the home OF
his sister, Hester Severns. It is here
that she begins to realize what 1t all
means She is tortured and abused,
and at the birth of her child il is taken
away from her Her babe is taken

stead of a single, centering bullet, so as
to make it easier for him to smash the
white balls that a man losses ahead of
his gallOping horse. And the former
sure-shot wears glasses, too The good
excuse of old age is his, but / am told
that his half-failure is a twice-a-day
ordeal that hurts his pride keenly, and
that he vows he won't go through an
other season of it after this.
Most arena shows seek novelty It
isn't so with Buffalo Bills. He says
that he wouldn't dare to omit one of
the features of the original exhibition
from the pitching of the Indian tepees
to the rescue of the Deadwood coach,
or the busting of bronchos to the chas-
ing of q few lingering, measly though
carefully kept buffalo. I we'll remem-
Der Buffalo Bills first attempt to coin
his celebrity into stage money that was
real money. He played himself in a
western border drama at the old Bow
cry theatre, and was very handsome.
In the company was a young girl pro-
tege. whom he subsequently put for
ward as a star actress in a costly fiasco
and who is now the estranged wife Of
Howard Gould The Wild West show
was a happy thought by Nate Salisbury,
who died rich as a half owner.
Neither Buffalo Bill nor the Barnum
and Bailey concern made any street pa
rade this spring. To make a demonstra-
ton sufficient to make New York stare
is enormously costly. Barnum insisted
on the annual entry, and the last one
before his death is said TO have made
an expense of $4,000 Bad weather
postponed it from evening to evening,
with the opening of the show itself sim
ilarly put off and a thousand extra
marchers under pay, increasing the to-
tai outlay to $4,000.
However, Broadway has a parade Of
exploitation by a young actress. Every
clear afternoon at the crowded hour
between five and six, she rolls up and
down the sensational section of that
thorouShfare In an automobile spectac-
ularly. She is a tall, handsome crea-
ture. One of her stunning costumes
has hardly let its beholders recover
from partial paralysis before she ap-
pears in another. Her hats couldn't be
worn indOOrs-Or at least not through
doors. The motorcar is big affair and
as bright with high color as q circus
chariot. No banner tells that the hui
man exhibit is the starred, not TO say,
summed, mooned and planeted, main
