I'm afraid we students took delight

AT THE 0RPHEUM.

The Five Maclarens present nigh
class musical act at the Orpheum for
the last three days of this week.
This is one of the most entertaining
cf the many good acts Of it's kind that
have appeared at the Orpheum this
winter. The five members of the troupe
appear in Scotch costumes. The one
man among them is a fine example Of
a real Scot. They play all kinds of in
struments and play them well.
The little girl snare drummer with
the troupe is the most popular with
the audience. In playing the drum, she
can produce many approximations that
are excellent. In addition, she is pret-
ty, can dance the highland fling with
the others and can play several in
struments. This is the best OF the
well rounded program.
Miss Pauline Crawford, trapeze arts
and slack wire champion. is the first on
the program. Her work on the wire is
only fair but one stunt, swinging on
the trapeze with lighted lamp on her
Thursday afternoon and could only
present a part of her program at the
matinee, but at night her work was
better.
Stone and Wood are in a good talk

was perhaps the best of it's character
that has been played here this year.
Their College Escapades" is a lit
tie one act playlet that goes well from
the beginning. A college student, white
being initiated has to make a house
to house canvass for money as re-
ward for playing the violin At the
same time a young lady picks Up a
copy Of a paper and reads about an
escaped lunatic, for whom a $50 reward
Is asked for his capture. This is one
of the most laughable one act comedies

audience in an uproar all of the time.
