VARIETY At ORPHEUM
PLEASES BIC CROWD

Inc best yet may we'll be said of the
vaudeville bill put on last evening by
the members of the Casino companv at
the New Orpheum. for. taken individual
~ and collectively, the numbers as
rendered last evening are the most en-
Joyable yet presented here.
The vaudeville is opened by the lssi-
no -Four, the four chorus girls retained
OF the original ten brought over for the
musical comedies. The girls this week
do FAST Russian dance in costumes of
blue gray made with the conventional
belted Russian blouses which are very
becoming. The girls also are giving
better assistance in the numbers of the
principals in which they appear.
Bunyea and Gideon, the newcomers,
put on an act that outclassed the one
given last week. Miss Mabel Bunvea
sang two of Mr.. Gideon S compositions.
Il Want Some One to F'lirt With Me. -
and ragtime ditty with a reference to
a hula dance which brought a big laugh
In the first song Miss Bunyea were one
of the Frenchiest costumes seen here
for long time. 1t was of two shades
OF pink silk with trimmings of sable.
seed pearls and light pink coral bead
work. The gown for the second song
was of black silk wolfe with trimmings
of real cut jet beads. Melville Gideon
nf
by request played the Barcarole from
1.-The Love Tales of Hoffman, -
Miss Maude Rockwell sang "Wait-
ing by request, and for her second
number gave a most charming rendition
of the little gem from the opera of
- Martha,' the Last Rose of Sum
mer.' The beautifully carried out bust
ness with the real American beauty rose
comes natural now to Miss Rockwell as
she has so many times played the role
in the opera.
The Stechs are both as dainty and
charming as ever. Miss Olga appears
in a Buster Brown suit of pink linen
with her hair down her back in curls
and sings and dances her way into the
hearts of the audience. Miss Wilma has
a rather old song in ''Will You Miss
Me- but she does it so well that it is
a welcome number in the bill.
Laurel Atkin 5 contribution to the
vaudeville program was the real hit of
the evening. If Harry Lauder had been
in the audience he might have called
her singing and makeup caricature,
but he would have had to hand it to
Miss Atkins Just the same for her clev

did piece of work not the least enjoy
able part of which is due to her con
troll and use of her feet in the Scotch
dance.
Carleton Chase also selected an old
song when he sang ''Put On Your Old
GRAY Bonnet Still. it is better to
hear an old song well done than a new
one poorly rendered. Harris Mcguire
has a good piece of music in the " Homo
lulu Rag and would no doubt have
made a hit if some sailors in the audi
ence had not taken offense at his make
up and insisted on guying all through
the number.
Harry Clarity and Harry Stuart did
not appear in the vaudeville, but were
assigned parts in the farce which fol-
lowed Mr. Clarity wore the we'll
known red wig and talked in his usual
Irish style while Mr.. Stuart was again
assigned to the part of the old grey
haired man. Others in the east of the
farce, which is fairly funny and enter
tanning are Olga Stech, Laurel Atkins,
Maude Rockwell, Carleton Chase and
Harris Mcguire.
