ORPHEUM PROGRAM.

The Orpheum believes in starting the
new year right, and that it will do so
is made certain in the announcement
that Joseph Harris An Opening Night"
will head the first bill of 1913
An Opening Night" tells a human
story full of fun, pathos and realism;
in fact a complete play condensed to
forty minutes of splendid entertain
ment The first scene is a room in a
fiat in the Bronx, New York City; the
second scene. the exterior of ST. Gre
sOry's Church; and the third is the
stage of the Uncle Sam Theatre, also
in the Bronx.
Another act on the New Year bill
will be Visions dart, Jesse l.. Lasky' 5
most recent novelty, in which Fleu-
rette, an unusually attractive bit of
lfenirinity, assumes various classic
poses that are decidedly artistic.
One of the funniest acts traversing
the Orpheum Circuit is the one-act COM
edy entitled Bottle 6-40-9," written by
viii NJ. Cressy, and being presented
by Frank Rae, Augusta Brosche and
May Reese.
Mildred Grover is a real coincidence.
She has the knack of fun-making, and,
with Dick Richards at the piano, fur
nishes an act that sparkles with en-
PERTAINING songs and stories.
The three other acts making up the
bill next week are: The Steiner Trio,
comedy bar gymnasts of a distinct
type; the Musical Kings and the Crom-
wells.

each performance. Some of the early
plays to be given include blue
Jeans" "The Port of Missing Men"
Rock of Ages" "The Banker, The
Thief and The Girl" and "The White

MASQUERADE BALL.

The announcement of a Masquerade
Ball is quite an unusual affair of late
in our district. Last Mardi Gras was
the first time in many years that the
Pythian Hall was not rented for some
Mardi Gras dance under the auspices
of some prominent organization, but
due to the many setbacks that our dis
trict had received there was a post
ponement for some time in this kind
of entertainment. The younger mem
bers of the Alhambra Gymnastic Club,
who have been appointed a committee,
will inaugurate, some time in Febru-
airy, high class masquerade ball to be
given in Pythian Hall. 1t is said that
the affair will be strictly an invitation
one, and will be limited to invited
guests only. Mr.. Riley J. Williams is
chairman of the committee and he has
with him as co-workers the following:
George w. Foster, John Moynagh, Geo
]. Peterson, Ed. Lilly, Louis Sierra
Peter Rupp, Ed. ]. Quinn, Henry Acker
