TWO REAL TOPL|NERS
FOR THE 0RPHEUM|TES
"The Bride Shop" of Course, and
How About "The Meanest
Man in the World?"

If your name is William and you go
to the Orpheum this week the chances
are that secretly you'll feel a wee bit
chesty before the evenings over; but
If said name is merely Tom or Dick
or Harry, tiny touch O. the blues is
more likely.
Largely because Lola Wentworth
sings that song about Billy"
Not that the Billy song in itself
is new; it has been sung here before
in The Brideshop," and sung by Lola
sets every Tom and Dick and Harry to
wondering why his parents couldn't
appreciate the poetry in William as a
name for a boy.
Lola, as Angelina Syokes, is the
petite, pretty, bird-voiced bride of
THE Brideshop.' AS a bit of musical
comedy The Brideshop" hasn't been
changed at all, even to the colored-
wigged chorus. That is, excepting
Andrew Tombes, who again plays
Billy. He really has changed-hes 8
funnier than ever. OF course, there
is the brides trousseau"-oh, well,
Orpheumites were very glad to well
come THE Brideshop" to town again.
Not that it is the only act of heda-
liner caliber. There are Allan Dine
hart and pretty Mary Louise Dyer in
The Meanest Man in the World"
Why not feature that act at the top
of the board, Mr.. Hopkins? In many
and many a day the Orpheum has
produced no better and few equals of
that well-acted. well-written, pretty
little playlet.
Since the Orpheum was opened it
has been said that there is always
something on the program that will
please some of the people some of the
time and this is especially true of this
weeks bill F'rinstance, there is Dave
Wellington, who does his Juggling
stunts in a way that is truly laugh
provoking way; and the Ford's dancing
team-MaX and Mabel. That too, is
an act that is well worth going to see,
especially Miss Ford's Greek pastoral
The two Cartons did a balancing act,
feature of which appeared to he the
ability of one of the team to retain the
equilibrium of his facial expression.
A word for the moving pictures
wouldn't be amiss. either, and then
oh, yes there is Doc" O'Neil. He is
monologuist and tells the story about
what the pretty waitress said to the
business man when he asked her as
to the chicken, and that other one
about the seasick travellers cryptic
reply to a question as to whether the
moon ihad come up, and some of a
little more recent date. But Mr..
O'Neil enjoyed il, and as for the audi
ence. il just roared!
All in all the Orpheum is very well
worth a visit this week and the
chances are that il will be well to go
early and avoid, etc. etc.

LOLO WENTWORTH STARS

Pretty Lolo Wentworth is at the
Orpheum this week again, still select
ing her wondrous trousseau at THE
Bride Shop" Seems the longer 1t
takes the little songbird to buy her
pretty clothes, the more beautiful they
come. for certainly they are more
wonderful this season than they were
last. Here's hoping, Lolo, that you
don't get ready for the wedding for
some time to come, for when you do,
it probably means exit Bride Shop,
and we hope that time never comes.
That the popularity of THE Bride
Shop is not waning was proved by
the big audiences on hand to launch
1t for the first performances yester-
day. The pretty girls in their tuneful
songs and gorgeous costumes fasci-
mated, while the rich comedy in the
hands of Andrew Tombes kept the
house in constant laughter. THE
Bride Shop is tuneful and clever and
worth seeing again and again. Other
acts of the bill comprise Allen Dine
hart and company in THE Meanest
Man in the World very clever COM

no one why he wishes to see her. This
note he gives to Mr. Butler. who loves
Jeanie and is loved by her. Jeanie
meets Robertson and he pleads with
her to lie in court and save her sister
Meanwhile, Butler, questioned by the
authorities is forced to reveal the
contents of the note to Jeanie A
party goes in pursuit of Robertson
led by Madge Wildfire, who knows the
district. Madge divines the men mean
danger to Robertson and warns him
with a wild song, so he escapes in
time without having secured Jeanie s
promise Jeanie visits EfTle in prison
and is begged to tell one lie to save
her sisters life, but she cannot escape
from her slavery to truth. At the trial
Ettie is condemned to die. Jeanie goes
to London and begs the Queen for
her sisters life. They offer her par
don in exchange for Robertson's hid
ing place, she refuses to reveal 1t.
Her loyalty appeals to the Queen and
she grants the pardon. Stopping for
nothing, she hastens back to the prison
and reaches the place just in time.
And so Jeanie saves her sisters life.

Value of Friendship.

Friendship is a possession the
value of which cannot be esti-
mated in measurements of gold
aud silver. 1t is not compara-
BILE with any form of material
wealth nor with any other rela-
tionship between man and man
save that of love, of which it is,
indeed, an integral part.
One speaks of a friend or of
friends every day with no
thought of applying the real
meaning Of friendship to them.
Allof us have hundreds of sasso-
|ciatesand acquaintances to whom
we apply the designation of
friend, but the man who can
count a half dozen real friends is
Fortunate and richer by far than
he who has millions of dollars
but not one human soul 10 whom
he can turn as friend.
No man can have too many
friends; none can afford the loss
Of one friend.
Friend and friendship have
been the themes of the most
beautiful essays Of the profound
est thinkers and the noblest
writer's of all ages. All of them
agree in the thought that a friend
| is the dearest treasure Of man.
A translation from the Chinese
says: There are plenty of ac-
quaintances, but nv few real
friends
It is impossible TO define
friendship, just as it Is impossi-
Bile to define love, or JOY or
peace, or any Of the sensations
Of the soul. But, everyone who
claims a friend knows that in
him he has one who will. believe
in HIM against the testimony Of
the world.
The old adage that a friendin
need is q friend indeed, is trnr !;
but he who values friendshie fat
that reason alone cl ms multi
!. q; asfea = i, hoping that |
