first presentation at the Orpheum the
atre this afternoon: They are now
making their first appearance, having
been engaged for tour of the Orpheum
circuit, and are regarded as one of the
most original novelties ever brought
into the country. They sing and dance
to the music of the samisen Japanese
name and manufacture for banjo).
Geishas are trained from babyhood al
most in the art of entertaining. They
learn to sing and dance the dances the
japanese love. Their dances are in
tended to be descriptive of various cpl
sodes and stories. Some OF them have
an accompaniment of descriptive
verses chanted by choristers to the ca
dence of twanging samisens. Geishas
participate in all formal entertainments
in Japan and are q great feature of
Japanese social life The wives OF many
high japanese officials were once
Geishas.
Brown, Harris and Brown, comedians
and warblers of popular songs, will en-
terrain here, probably with the same
success as elsewhere on the circuit. Miss
Viola Harris is a beautifully costumed
woman and an excellent foil for the
comedy Browns. Ebert Brown has had
great success everywhere with his
songs, wait Till the Sun Shines, Nell
lie" and "Jessamine," two very tune
full numbers.
]. Francis Dooley-no relation to the
Sage of Archey .Road-but just about
as funny-will present Pavement Pat
ter" with the assistance of Miss Corinne
Sayles, who is a dainty, clever come
dienne. Pavement Patter" indicates
the character of the Offering. The Port
land newspapers, where Mr.. Dooley
and Miss Sayles last appeared, utilize a
font of adjectives in describing how
funny the act is. In addition to dia-
logue and monologue, there is also sing
ing and some incidental dancing in the
act.
Jean Clermont's "Burleske Circus" is
described as funnier that the wagon
show you saw when a boy Clermont
Las assembled an OUTFIT of dogs, ponies
ana ROSTERS, all of which are highly
specialized in the work they have to do
One feature is worthy of note. 1t is the
piano playing of a French poodle
which plays 1.-THE Last Rose of Sum-
mer" to the accompaniment of the or
cheStra. A fox terrier banks a tune
from 1.-THE Merry Widow" while waltz
ing to his own music.
Madame Panita is a celebrated flute
virtuoso, whose playing has been ad-
mired in every capital of Europe. Pa
nita's mastery of the flute is equally
recognized in this country. After play
ing Ogden she will continue over the
Orpheum circuit
Jimmy Lucas, the musical comedy
star, is back in vaudeville after a year
with 1.-THE Golden Girl" Mr. Lucas is
perhaps better known as a song writer
than as a comedian, outside of Chi
cago, where he is a popular favorite
One of his recent songs, II Love Ny
Wife, But Oh! You Kid" has been sung
all over the world since its appearance.
Mr.. Lucas will give a melange of sing
ing and dancing.
Douglas and Douglas come in a sketch
called The Clown and the Girl" Their
turn is acrobatic and their work is ex-
ceptionally well done They have a dog
that figures in the act which is good
enough to evoke comment from the
newspaper critics all along the circuit
An orchestral program of standard Or
pheum merit and new kinodrome pic
lures fill the the bill
