Susie Kerwin do good work in the com
 edy parts of Carolina Meek and Cinthia Snodgrass. Miss Louise Shephard is ac- ceptabIe as Edith Parker while Richard
 Barry is satisfactory as Ned Welby. A feature of "The Trouble Makers is the merit of the musical nNmbers. There are just enough on the programme to
 make the audience wish for more. "Bab- bling Bess' by Miss Lucy Daly was re- peatedly encored by the audience as
 were Nancy, Take a Chance With Me,
 "A Different Phase of Life and "oh, Look Who's Here.'' Does Anybody Want Little Girly?'' is a novel feature in which the entire chorus sings from
 the audience instead of on the stage.
 There are some pleasing effects in the
 play and costumes are delightful in their
 simplicity-not scarcity. The company
 has a male octette that does some fine
 singing and should be given more to do
 Last night the "S. R. O." sign was dis
 played and the theatre was packed. It
 is expected that "The Trouble Makers

 performance last night, the Orpheum be- ing well filled at both performances. The action of the management in remaining second week seems to have met with popular favor, judging from. the size of the audiences and the enthusiasm. Miss Grey continues to answer all the questions asked of her and her answers to date have proven to be absolutely successful without exception. She IS as sisted in her entertainment by Bressie Bell a skilled entertainer in his chosen line.
 The audiences are mystified and hun dreds wonder at the strange ability possessed by Miss Grey which enables | her to read the mind and answer ques- | tions correctly.
 | There will be performances every night | this week and matinees daily. The | Wednesday and Friday matinees will be | for ladies only and seats are being re- | served for ladies now. There is great | demand for them and the management | anticipates an immense audience at both ] of these special matinees. Last week | the special performances for ladies were | the most popular.
