| OLYMPIC-Alphin and Fargo an
nonuce for their next presentation
| Round Town." a musical absurdity,
the title of which gives no idea of the
character of the play. The scene is
laid in Egypt, where it is expected that
the mummy of Queen Cleopatra is
about to come to life after having been
dead for 5000 years. A stranded bur-
lesque troupe, which is en- tour of the
world, contrives to steal the mummy
in order to obtain sufficient funds for
their return to America. How they
eventually secure their transportation
is ridiculous in the extreme. The
mummy, however, is stolen by a couple
of Scotchmen and Hebrew who are
in Egypt for the purpose of promoting
an invention which they have patented.
How matters are finally adjusted is
roaringly funny. Monte Carter, the
new comedian at the Olympic, will
Max Steinle and Pete Gerald will be
the German partners of Yonkel.
Cleopatra will be presented by Mable
Bunyea. whose beautiful face and
graceful figure will enable her to give
full dignity to the person of the stately
queen of Egypt. She has some fitting
numbers which are sure to please.
Tracy McDermott will have the char
acter of the theatrical manager. Anna
H. Golde, the dashing soubrette, who
is a well established Olympic favorite,
will please her many admirers by rem
dering some excellent novelty songs.
Matte Hyde will be fittingly cast as
the wardrobe mistress, afterward mis-
taken for Cleopatra, anG Leonard Bris-
band as Islam Fermenti will appear as
an Egyptian priest.
ORPHEUM-All around excellence
will mark the distinguishing feature
of the new Orpheum bill, opening with
the matinee Monday. Every incoming
act is of the best class, and the four
remaining leave nothing to be desired.
Hence the coming week may be looked
forward to with confidence of unal-
loyed delight.
Elita Proctor Otis, who heads the
list of newcomers, is we'll remembered
from her stock days here. Miss Otis
in re-entering vaudeville has secured
a valuable vehicle in a comedy of
hilarious proportions entitled Mrs.
Burners Bun" AS may readily be in
ferred, it concerns the efforts of one
Mrs. Bunner of temperance proclivi-
ties, to reform her tippling husband by
taking him at his own game. In other
words. she endeavors to visualize to
him the evils of intoxicants, but un-
expectedly absorbs too much. The de-
nouement is bound to be the height of
absurdity, and the answer is one big
laugh. Miss Otis is too clever and
capable an actress to permit the least
hint of coarseness to enter into her
work, so that bright, clean fun is as
sured.
Daily. chic and fetching Anna
Laughlin, the tiny "Toyland" prima
donna, will appear in a series of chat
ter songs and dances. Miss Laughlin
created the little girl part in "The
Wizard of o." and later was the fea-
ture in the Herbert fantasy, "Babes
in Toyland." She is tiny, but every
inch of her is capable, and as
charmer she has no equals. Her bright
ness will be most infectious, and her
is too pronounced to need
more than passing mention.
The Five Juggling Normans are the
par excellence Of Indian club handlers.
They do this sort of thing differently.
While they have methods of their own,
they also excel in some highly un-
usual adyancements of old work. Their |
