The THEATRES
The Orpheum.

me OFPnSNms
Everyone enjoys a good laugh and
Buch Bros, The Ship Alloy Boys who
feature at the Orpheum for the last
half of the week certainly furnish
abundance of hot weather medicine.
The little Dutch comedian keeps the
audience in an uproar throughout the
act. The question Of the whole act
IS where do the beans come from?
When the audience thinks the bean
supply has vanished it is just when
they are starting.
Les Copeland, singing comedian. If
a person didn't happen to know Mr..
COPELAND they might be misled in
thinking that he was a real for sure
negro, as he has the dialect to perfec-
ton. Throughout this act he enter
tains the audience by his piano play
ing and funny songs.
Stuart & Hall, smart songs and
snappy sayings" Both being posses
sors of pleasing trained voices, they
start their act with a dash of straight
vocalizing; then realizing that all the
world enjoys a good laugh, Mr.. Hail,
in the character of an English "Algy"
or dude, gets much wholesome fun out
Of his inability to "grawsp" the mean
ing of the popular American slang
phrases as ~expounded to him by Miss
Stuart as a sl~ang-using American
girl.
The valdos & Co. "mystifying illus
ions" Have four people in the COM
pany. The act is principally spiritual
cabinet work. A reproduction of tbs
famous Paladina is given. 1t will be
remembered that she was investigated
by Professor James of Harvard about
three years ago
The Valdos do not claim any super
natural power but principally give re-
productions. Their act is intermingled
with comedy.
= The Orpheumscope is always good.
The Grand.
Daniel Frohman presents the cele-
brated film favorite Mary Pickford in
Heart Adrift at the Grand for Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday. 1t is USE
less to speak of the acting OF Mary
Pickford, as she is one of the stars
of the motion picture world. The
picture of Hearts Adrift is of unusual
quality and the patrons of the Grand
should not miss the opportunity Of
seeing it. The synopsis of the picture
is as follows:
Nina, a little 1~2-year-old Spanish
girl, the sole survivor Of a shipwreck,
is tossed by the wave upon one of
the South Sea islands. The little one
leads. a primitive life on the desolate
islands, subsisting on fruit, fish ana
herbs. She makes friends and COM
panions of the birds and beasts of the
island, and contrives rude garments
from skiing and fibre. Some years lat
er, a wealthy couple, the Grahams, are
cruising on their yacht near this is
land. The yacht burns, and in the ex-
element husband and wife are sep
arated, each fearing the other had
been lost. Like Nina, Graham Is wash
ed ashore on the deserted island. Nina
discovers his body, hardly knowing
what the strange creature is, and. see
ing him move, tiimdly runs away.
Later her fear and reserve disappear,
and she permits him to approach. They
become friends, comrades and more
Ralizing that their lives cannot con-
tinue in this manner Graham performs
an impromptu marriage ceremony,
making her repeat the formula Of the
ritual after him. Graham n Nina
are supremely happy in their love for
each other and their baby, but one day
a boat comes to the lonely island. In
it is Mrs. Graham, who for ear has
sought her husband. In the joyful re-
union of wife and husband, Nina is
completely forgotten. But the girl
sees and understands all. A moment
later the happy couple see her poised
upon the brow of a cliff, her babe in
her arms. Only a moment she stands
there. and then ~leaps--to death.
This film is a beautiful scenic pros
duction and will be shown three times
