"The Two 0rphanS'
Fine Old Drama ExceIIentIy Portrayed at Lyric Theatre
 to Capac ty House

Like turning over to a fondly re- membered page of a dear old book cherished in memory in the after years is a visit to the Lyric theatre this week where there is being pro- duced by tEe Carpenter Stock com pany that old yet ever young roman tic drama of heart interest "The Two Orphans. The play house last even ing was taxed to capacity despite the inclemency of the wea ther and the audience felt enriched for the visit. Of course the story of the fine old drama is familiar to nearly every one of the strongest and most viriIe mediums of play acting used on the English speaking stage.
 This was in the days of Kate fClax- ton that admirable actress who gave immortality to the role of Louise the blind sister, a role which through the tender treatment of Miss Claxton not only became one of the historical tined to survive as long as the annals of play acting shall endure.
 This role last evening was entrust- ed to Miss Cleveland and it must be finish and delicacy that won for her many new admirers. Excellent sup port was accorded the star by Miss Carpenter who as Henrietta gave a fine impersonation of that character.
 MT. Conness again demonstrated his vesatility for in the role of the Cheva- Her he was forceful and manly and his excellent work did much to make the performance the success it prov ed to be
 The comedy part was well taken care of by MT. Devine who in the role of Picard was all that could be de- sired MT. Devine is daily adding to his laureIs as a performer of worth
 The character of Jacques the outlaw was well done by MT. Carroll who cer- tainly made the most of his lines.
 MT. Hagan in the role of the hunch- back was very clever and his work Was the source of much favorable conrhendation.
 Altogether the play was exceedingly well done and admirably cast and staged and certainly 1t does appear as if the capacity of the house will be tested throughout the week.

This Week At POIi'S
A MeritOriOus Bill That Is Capped By "CaIitOrnia" A
 Catchy 0perdtta

That pretty operetta, california" is drawing the crowds to Polls this week, and it is deservedly popular, for nothing finer has been seen here since the introduction of vaudeville The scene is laid in southern California near the Mexican border, and fine opportunity is given to show the nat ural beauties of the country. The story concerns the troubles of an American engineer who has charge of intended to build the line across the land on which stands an ancient mls- sion. Here Is where the heroine, Miss California, comes in. She lives at the
 mission and she begs the handsome young engineer to change the line so that the old buildings need not be de- moLished. He refuses and indignant Mexicans threaten to hang the Amer ican. Do they hang him? Well, that would be telling. Miss Leslie Leigh is excellent in the role of California, Harry L. Griffith Is stalwart and man ly as the engineer, and Austen stuart provides lots of comedy as the Bah love" Englishman. There is some tunefuI music by Robert Hood Bow CTS. The best number is a duet T Love You, My Own. sung by Miss Leigh and MT. Griffith.
 Another of those ''rathske1'er'' acts, Bailey, Hall and Burnett, is with us of this kind suffers a frost, and the trio appearing this week is unusually good. One of the team is a wonder at playing the banjo. The songs, ''ln Ragtime Land', "Margarita", and s'Ragtime Violin proved winners.
 You have to hand it to F ed Duprez Tor delivering the monologue goods. Fred appears with a silk hat cooked on one side of his head and a cigar sticking from his mouth at a warlike ang'e. He passes out a laughable variety of chatter, all bright and witty You can't help laughing at him and there is no reason why you shouldn't laugh.
 ''ChesterfieId'' is the $1O,0O0 statue horse who does just as Miss Rose Royal orders. The animal is a beau tiful milk white steed and does a wide variety of wonderful tricks. It is an exceedingly c'ever act and must be seen to be appreciated. There is a series of war pictures which are cap- itaIIy done
 ''The Girl and the Drummer is a lively skit which introduces Earl and Curtis. They have some funny Tires and also warble a few duets that make a hit. The closing number in which a bellboy assists, was greeted with app ause.
 Gefger, the street musician, makes a violin talk. He also gives limitations of various things, such as the bamboo bells, and altogether gives a perform ance that is most pleasing.
 Spra que and McNeece open the show with a roller skating novelty which is a treat to watch.
