The attraction at the Orpheum for
next week will be the Atlantic City
Girls TIE production offered by this
company Is above the ordinary class
of tabloid musical comedies. Tabloids
as a matter Of fact are new. this sea-
son being the FIRST in which they have
appeared. AS LIS natural with new
form Of amusement the first attempts
were more or less lacking because Of
the short time for preparation. 1t Is
noticeable fact, however. that an
Improvement IL evident and those
companies last to take the road are
far and away superior to the ones
hastily gathered together and sent
out before really ready. Much time
and effort, not to speak Of expense,
was spent in preparing the produc-
ton at the Orpheum next week and
the fruits of that labor are shown in
the fact that the company met with
success in New York. They played
at the New York theater in that city
as well as q number Of other large
cities. Any production to reach the
stage of a. New York theate- must
show merit and 1t is gratifying to
the Orpheum management to be in
a position to offer patrons 30 fine an
attraction.

The girls are without exception pretty
