The second performance Of tho bank
ers' show was given at the Auditorium

Henry Balfour in the leading parts.
Miss Ramon, in the character of Prin-
cess Louise filed the role acceptably.

beautiful tenor solo, "Lassie Lou" and
to the other numbers allotted to him.
S. f. Seldel won hearty applause as
Timothy Hanks, the comedian, and
Ray Padrick, another Of the bank boys,
carried off honors as Admiral Att.
Padrlck showed great ease In a diff
cult role and spoke his lines with
voice that carried throughout the house.
Miss Alma Murphy as Hua was an
other Of the pleasing bits of the even
ing. Miss Runge and Edward Phil
brook repeated their successes of the
preceding evening, and the big chorus
showed the result of having gone safely
through its first night and worked very
smoothly. A marked Improvement in

creditable performance was given.
1.-THE Maid of Manalay" will be given
tonight with the same cast that ap-
peared Monday night, headed by Agnes
Cain Brown -Girard, with Fred Nc
Pherson at Lieut.. Flagg.
Dorothy De Schelle. pretty, charming
and clever, heads the Los Angeles the
ater vaudeville bill this week. Miss De
Schelle and her company present the
Sewell Collins sketch, Thirty Dol
lars" seen on the Orpheum circuit re-
Gently. Miss De Schelle enacts the
role of an artists model, and does 1t
a..TTw - Ae~Qn n1Af NA
all. Arthur Sullivan as Phil, the race
track tout, shares honors with Miss De
Schelle by giving most faithful and
interesting portrayal of that class of
social parasites Edward Archer is nat
ural and forcefuI as the artist. The
sketch is distinctly worth while.
The Mayvilles present q marionette
act which took yesterdays audience by
storm. The turn is clever and Artistic,
and deserves all the applause it re-
ceives. other acts on the bill are
Musical Irving, who performs on a
trombone, a strange sort of one
stringed violin and the cello in a
pleasing manner; Lew Hoffman, COM
edy juggler; Lozelle, aerial gymnast,
and Rose and Ellis. barrel jumpers,
who perform wonderful feats.
They're Of in a Bunch" is the mu
sical burlesque that is delighting Olym-
pic patrons this week. The bunch in
question is a speedy one, for all the big
A1phin and Fargo cast, including Jules
Mendel Monte Carter, Dave Morris,
Tracy McDermott, Leonard Brisbane,
Frances Paon, Hazel Douglas and Vera
Ransdale are featured in roles and
comedy that make the burletta move
along with celerity from curtain to cur
tain. The whole affair savors of the
race track, chorus girls and a seaside
resort, and plenty of snappy comedy,
with frequent interludes Of topical
songs sung by various members of the
cost, reinforced by the chorus, serve to
make this weeks Offering decided hit.
The chorus has many changes of cos
tune in the play. Chorus girls and
Jockeys have an excellent chance to
show their dancing and singing ability.
The Transatlantic quartet continues to
please, while other musical special
ties are up to the usual standard.
Realistic Orientalism is prevalent in
"a Trip to Turkey this weeks mu-
steal comedy offering at the Princess
theater. From start to finish the play
let basks in the atmosphere of the Far
East, costumes, scenery and musical
numbers combining to produce this eff
feet. The only non-oriental in the whole
snow IS an lCnerdnI 1rlSnIndn, WHO mas
many strange adventures among the
Mohammedans. Al Franks, the come
dian, plays this role, and he plays 1t
well, for laughs and applause greet him
at every turn. Earl Hall Is seen as the
general of the sultans army, while
Jack Howard. a new member of the
company, appears as his majesty, the
sultan. Angie North does well in the
role of beautiful slave girl, whom the
sultan would make his. Bonnie Brown
in, the winsome soubrette, has disfg-
ured her pretty face this week with a
character makeup, playing the part
OF the homeliest member of the harem,
the bane of his majestys life.
