aquatfe act in vaudeville: Ethel Green

splendid supporting bill. For next
week the management is announcing
the return of Knute Erickson. easily
the most popular comedian who ever
appeared at the Orpheum Theater The
popular comedian will appear in what
is said to be his most successful pro-
duction, a pretentious "girlie" musical
comedy called "rhe Seminary Girl"
The act employs the efforts of cast
of some twenty players. most of them
clever and attractive girls, and they
offer their turn IN beautiful stage set
tings and beautiful costumes. In the
headline class also will be Melville and
Higgins, the eccentric funsters. who
made expressions like Let it lay" and
"All the time you are picking on me,
all the time" popular here oince the
couple appeared at the Orpheunl, they
have starred in musical comedy. The
bill will be real George Washington

ment has announced that the matinee
