At the OrpheuYn.

Jane will have a birthday next week
and a party, of course. A real. sure
huff birthday party. AS usual with
birthday parties, the details OF what
will take place have not been di-
vuIged but will be held at the Or
pheum three times each day and every
day of next week. The Gay Sisters
and company. who were so we'll re-
c4ved during the past week, will
present this delightful little comedy.
1t is in two parts, an entire change
in every way of the show offered last
week. The plot is different and the
song and dance numbers, the stage
settings and the costumes are all
new. 1t is limited that they have
another specially even better than the
snowfall song which made such a
hit. The success of this excellent
company led the management of the
Orpheum to retain them for another
week and undoubtedly the many pa
irons OF the house will heartily en-
dorse the move.
James Birthday Party Is essen
TALLY a summer show. Light ana
breezy with clean, wholesome comedy
in every line. 1t is designed to make
one laugh and hits the mark. Jane
all arrive at last and then the fun
begins. 1t doesn't subsde until the
curtain goes down and the final scene.
Those who have had the pleasure of
seeing the Gay Sisters and company
in the show presented during the past
week know what to expect in the
way of comedy, singing and dancing.
Nat Haines Billy Gilbert and Bob
Duprez are a trio of fun makers that
are really top liners. The three Gay
sisters, Miss Mildred Deane and the
chorus of pretty girls make up COM
pany that compares favorably with
any 1ha t have played in this city. 40 r

the feats of the Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin, today. At all Catholic
churches in the city, special masses
were arranged the first mass in sew
eral of the churches being observed
at $50 o'clock this morning. Today
is not a day when abstinence from
flesh meats is required by the church
but by a special dispenastion, meat
is allowed today. Yesterday was a
day of fasting and abstinence because
of the vigil of the feast of the AS
sumption.
The Assumption of the Virgin
Mary is festival of the Roman
Catholic church, and was first cele.
brated on August Is in the sixth
century. The belief is that the soul
and body of the Virgin had been car
ried up TO heaven by Christ and his
angels. Some historians say it orig
mated in legend of the
third or fourth century, but had not
gained credence in the church unit
near the beginning of the seventh
century. The festival of the Assump
