Opheum-Vaudeville

The Orpheum has had many excellent
vaudeville bills this season but none have
been better than the Christmas week of
| fering. For excellence not only In the
headlin act. but in every act on the pro-
gramme this weeks bill at the Orpheum
is remarkable. The show opens with an
astonishing exhibition of peculiar skill
and strength. While a woman holds one
end of a wire between her teeth, the
other end being fastened to the wall, her
partner performs remarkable feats of
balancing and whirling on the wire. She
ends the performance with a whir which
| reaches 100 revolutions a minute.
| The Guy Bartlett trio Is excellent Al!
have splendid voices and the comedy is
clean and good. There is a 'fat boy
comedian and he earns his title. There
are two new songs and two popular IA
vorites
Caesar Rivoli, the lightning change ar
fist. held his audience breathless as he
gave his exhibition of fast work. He en-
acts a little drama in which seven char
acters appear. he taking all the parts.
He walks off the stage through one door
and appears In moment at another In
an entirely different costume and make
up. He changes from q woman to a man
with apparent ease. As the finale he en-
ters the orchestra with the musicians and
appears as great musicians and conduc-
tors. These changes are done very
quickly and the representations are good.
Goldsmith and Hoppe are musical
comedians-both comedians and music
ians. The combination is rare. The COM
edy is natural and keeps the audience in
an uproar. AS musicians the two play
the cornet and the ACCORDION. At the
close one appears in a burlesque Of a
band conductor.
The gliding OMearas IN new tango
steps and whirlwind dances were warmly
l'received. Both dancers are very grace
full and introduce novel and beautiful
steps.

What child hasn't read the book and
loved the young earl? What grown per-

BOOK so full of human nature? They

Bunting last night The part is so dis
similar to any in which Miss Bunting has
appeared here before that it is almost
Like meeting her all over again. Every
one of her little mannerisms which have
endeared her to the theatre going public
are brought to play in this part. and vet
in such different manner that they
seem all new.
Inc story of the-play tells of the trou-
bles OF the widow and son of Captain
Enroll, scion of the English nobility
who has been driven from home by his
father for marrying beneath him. He
dies, and the fortune he left was lost by
the lawyer into whose hands the admin

poverty was becoming keen the Earl of
Fauntleroy awakens to discover that his
only heir is the little Cedric, and the
attorney Is sent to New York to bring
child and mother back to England, where
the child may be educated as he should

Attorney w. S. Forrest, represent
ing Max Annenberg, Tribune slugger,
gave his client coat of Gly-white at
the opening of his trial on a charge
of shooting down Alexander Bedford
in Maxwell street, July IL.
Forrest related many Illuminating
sidelights on the character of the
well-known chieftain of Tribune
gang. He said Annenberg didn't car
ry the gun with whcih Bedford was
shot. The gun, according to Forrest,
was the property of Ben Kendall,
reporter, and was, very handily, lying
on the floor of the automobile when
Annenberg decided to shoot.
The shooting took place when the
Tribune gang was getting away after
taking a f1ashlight picture of an al
legged gambling house at S13 Maxwell
street.
In connection with the gambling
house, Forrest said that gambling
was flagrantly exploited in the Max
well street police district. This is rank
ingratitude to Capt James O'Donnell
Storen, who nearly got himself in bad
for the nice way in which he treated
Annenberg after the shooting.
The selection of the jury was COM
pleted this morning. Only routine
questions were asked the veniremen
and the trial was speedily begun.
Assistant States Attorney John
Fleming conducted the prosecution.
Forrest was assisted by Benz. Bach
rach, attorney for Jack Johnson, and
S. E. Thomasson, one of the Trib-
une's many lawyers.
Fleming's opening address was to
the point that Annenberg recklessly
fired int GA crowd of men and women
and struck Belford, who was stand |
in gneaf the corner chatting with
friends when he was shot down.
