AT 4 oRpHEUM.

Mgr. George H. Webster Is going to
have to bend every effort to get a bill
that will equal, let alone attempt to
surpass the two programmes he Of
fered this week, which were conceded
to be the best he has aver presented
since he opened that beautiful play
house. But he has succeeded in Sc
curing two fine bills for next week
that cannot fail to please anyone. He
has brought three big feature acts
which are among the best known in
vaudeville. Two of these will be Of
fered during the first half of the week
and the other will be seen the last
three days.
The big hit Mr.. Webster brings to
the Orpheum this week is the act of
the famous Musical Kleis, the novelty
instrumentalists who feature the phe-
nomenal child musicians, the young
est ever seen on the stage. These re-
markable youngsters play with won
derful expression the cello, violin,
slides, comets, xylophone, f1agulet and
drums. They give characteristic inn
presentations of John Philip Sousa, the
march king, and Creatore, which are
proclaimed to be something unusually
clever and out of the ordinary. The
second feature of the first half of the
week is the sparkling act of Newhoff
& Phelps, presenting Just Pals.
The third feature of the week, which
win be offered during the last half,
will be Cleopatra, the world-famed
Egyptian enchantress and wonder
worker, in an exhibition of eastern
miracles. Cleopatra carries with her
gorgeous scenic and electrical effects
which form a magnificent stage set
ting. Her act is a powerful perform
ance of merit and ability that appeals
to all classes and all ages. She ar
ries three people with her.
The programme for the first half OF
the week, aside from the headliners
includes such well known acts as Har-
ry Glenn, the rube comedian, Dayey
DeMusey & Getsey, known the coun-
try over as Three Boys and a Piano
and the Webster exchange moving pic,

After a six months prosperous run
in New York at the Herald Square and
Casino theatres, The Balkan Princess,
a musical comedy, with Miss Louise
Cunning in the title role, will be the
attraction at the Fargo operhouse next
Thursday evening.
The Balkan Princess was originally
played in London where it ran for a
year. The score is by Paul A. Rubens,
the book by Frederick Lonsdale and
Frank Curzon, and the lyrics by Mr..
Rubens and Arthur Wimperis. The
locale is laid in the mythical country
of Balaria.
Princess Stephanie is about to be
crowned queen, but in order to insure
the stability OF the throne, she has
been requested by her counselors to
marry. Accordingly six grand dukes
are invited to appear before her. One,

been guilty of writing violent attacks
against the government in order to
avenge a wrong done his father by the
late king. He also frequents Bohem-

All this leads the princess to flee in

been attempted, 1t is full Of beauti-
full melodies. amusing situations and
witty speeches, and holds the atten-
ton from the frst.
During the past week rehearsals
have been in full sway at the Fargo
Conservatory of Music, and Tuesday
night will he an evening of mirth and
pleasure for all who attend. A large
amount of talent has been discovered
which will be a big surprise to Fargo
people, and afford a great deal or
pleasure.
The story is as follows: Julia, the
naughty belle of Ba~rnstapoole, is as
proud as she is beautiful. All the sail
or lads are hopelessly in love with
her, but she scorns them all. On the
eve of the departure of the Bounding
Billow for a years voyage, Barnabas
Lee, a wandering artist comes to own
and falls in love with Julia, who re
turns his affection. The sailor lads,
driven TO despair by their rivals sue
cess, plan to kidnap Barnabas, stow
him aboard the Bounding Binow and
carry him to sea. They are successful
in their scheme and the townsfolk re-
turning from seeing the ship SAIL an
nounce to Julia that Barnabas was on
board her.
In the meantime Nance, a gentle
damsel, is loved by Joe Stout, Joe is
as bashful as heis honest, and fearing
a. repulse, he induces Bill Salt to pro-
pose to in his name Bill promises to
perform the task, but unfortunately he
meets Julia first and makes the mis-
take of delivering the bashful suitor's
message to her instead az Nance.
Nance on hearing of this is heart
broken.
Act two takes place ms yea hence.
The townsfolk are awaiting the return
of the Bounding Billow. The Barn
stapooIe girls go to meet the sailors
with a party of artists, and the sailors
are chagrined to find that the Barn
stapoole girls are apparently quite in
different to their return.
Bill Salt has the unpleasant duty OF
explaining his mistake to Julia and
offering himself in Joe's place. Julia
at first spurns him. but afterwards
accepts him. The happy return of
Barnabas Lee releases Bill Salt from
the moose hi had cast about his own
neck. Joe soon finds Nance and ex-
plains the situation to her and all are
forgiven. The artists return to town
and the sailors and girls become rec
onciled. The scene ends with the
promise of many happy weddings in
the near future.
