His candidacy is doomed. His

HOFFMAN,
AND ORPHEUM SHOW

Gertrude Hoffmann's revue,
with four acts from the Orpheum
vaudeville circuit, appeared last
night before an audience that
filled the Tacoma theater. The
curtain did not rise till after 3
o cloek because the players were
late in arriving in Tacoma, jump
ing here from Victoria.
While not so elaborate, of
course, as "Sheherazade" in
which Miss Hoffman, last ap-
peared in the Northwest, the
present Revue" Is we'll done,
with Miss Hoffman, working
nearly every minute. Twelve
very pretty and shapely girls,
several male dancers and a troupe
of Arabian acrobats help out con-
siderably.
The newest things-and conse-
quently those best done-by Ger
trude Hoffman, in the present Of
| fering, are the Argentine tango,
and Miss Hofman's clever stunt of
jumping into the orchestra pit and
taking the trap drummer place,
playing about everything she lays
| her hand upon. This stunt seemed
to tickle her husband, who di-
reefs the musicians, as much as ii
did the audience.
"The Blue Danube" a dance
number which closed the per-
Torrance, is very similar to THE
Spring Song" which Miss Hoff-
mann has used previously. The
costumes of the twelve damsels
assisting the star are especially
pretty and-er-siry!
