AT THE ORPHEUNI-

The new bill at the Orpheum open
ing Sunday contains a number or at
tractive features. One of the Menlo
Moore act, 1.-The Girl Abroad. offers
a chance for a rather pretentious set
ting. Three principals and two assist
ants carry the entertainment, and
please, particularly the accordion
playing of Leo Piersanti. who was re-
peatedly encored. Garlic Lowe as the
girl Is attractive and Harry Lyons has
a kidding part which he handles
gracefully.
Cal Stewart with his Denman
Thompson makeup and rural dialect
stories amused immensely with ma
terial that is frequently old. His per
sOnality is pleasing and his manner
of delivery very natural.
The CrOmwells in whirlwind Jug
Cling have a distinct novelty. The
elder does tricks that are marvels of
skill and works with a speed that is
unusual. Pretty and exceedingly
graceful. Miss Cromwell offers an act
that wins hearty applause.
Fields and Brown open the show
with a railroad station scene, singing
talking and doing first class dancing
They work fast, have some good com
edy bits and put over two pleasing
recitatiOns. Rose and Williams in
straight and character parts talk
more than necessary and sing less
than they should The Italian part is
well played.

LYMAN III. HOWE.

"PrOdigiOus-astOun ding-Overwhelm-
ing" is the description given Lyman
II. Howe's reproduction of the Pan
anna canal. The excavations, which
included the removal of a mountain,
created the greatest spectacle of ac-
tivity in history.
In these days when the animated
camera records events exactly as they
occur, ''stay-at-hOmes'' may witness
the most heroic achievement of all
ages-the building OF the canal-as
satisfactorily as if they had spent
many years leisurely watching its
progress under the tropical sun. All
that is necessary is attendance at the
Auditorium Wednesday evening and
Thursday matinee and night. when
Howe will present the most remark
able reproduction known in the an
nails of motion photography. His
films form the vehicle by which the
spectator is made to fully understand
the great engineering feat which will
unite two oceans at Panama and
bring the opposite sides of the world
into a closer relation than the optim-
list of yesterday ever dreamed Of.
Each step in the construction of the
great locks, from the early ditch to
the moments when the concrete took
its final form, was followed by the
action of the cameras
The exhibitor has many other sur
prising subjects. There is a visit to
the scenic gem of the great American
northwest - Yellowstone park, with
the most wonderful natural phenom
ena known TO scientistS-the geysers

Yellowstone river.

grateful women patients embrace him,

mans wife, mourning the latter's en-
nifty. To patch matters the doctor
agrees to introduce his own wife and
let the Gallo gentleman take a kiss in
return. A substitute is sought. An
obliging, but in this case EN- bassassing
friend, induces a dancer to act as sub
stitute, the doctor meantime having
an entirely different substitute. And
so it goes on. Tom Lewis is the fat

earlier and greatest successes, Caught
In the Rain
There Is no comedian precisely like
William Collier. His methods are pecul-
iarly his own. His humor has always
been spontaneous and clean and free
from coarseness. He has the delightful
ability of establishing between himself
and his audiences a sense of good COM
radeship and friendliness and of con-
veying to his hearers the impression that
they are 'in'' on the joke.
"A Little Water on the Side" supplies
Mr.. Collier with a role that is thor
oughly Collieresque." He plays a young
American blessed with the American
sense of humor who finds himself, after
a career of irresponsible living, called
upon to come to the rescue of the falling
method combining high finance and
love as unusual as 1T is funny. He caps
the climax by falling In love with the
pretty daughter of the very man to whom
his family owes its misfortunes. His
solution of the difficulty Is very laugh
able.

POLLS

"Elevating a Husband" the play in
which Louis Mann achieved one OF his
biggest successes three years ago, Will
be seen for the first time In Washington
tomorrow night at Polls, Theater. The
comedy had long runs in New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago and has been seen in
every city of importance in the United
States except Washington.
The story Of the comedy relates to the
efforts OF an ambitious wife to inculcate
good breeding and easy familiarity with
refinement into a husband who has made
a fortune with a chain of five-cent stores.
The husband has q profound knowledge
of the batting and fielding averages Of
league ball players, but he never heard
of Schopenhauer and cannot quote from
any poet OF standing in the community.
He is, however, q fine character IN his
own simple, uncultured way. Although
he fails siamentably to acquire the social
veneer to enable him to appear at MS
wtfe's entertainments without shocking
her guests he proves in the end the big
gest and best character of the story
The disastrous results of the wife at
tempts to elevate her husband furnish
much Of the delightful comedy of the
play.
