Curtain Calls

The Dreamland Burlesquers at
Miners Empire next week have held
the envied title of one of the best en-
tertainments offered on the Columbia
circuit. The show has never failed to
please and add new lustre to what
ever theatre it appears in.
Leading the feminine contingent is
Miss mex DeVerdier, a statuesque
prima donna. whose reign as leading
lady, although recent, has been noted
for great accomplishments. She is a
graduate of the great Dave Marion
show and comes with the Marion
stamp and recommendation, which
should be sufficient to guarantee her
a welcome
Miss Memo Cato, a dainty bit Of
Dresden china" femininlty, though
extremely animated, fills the most
trying position of soubrette. THE
Alpine Quartet offers variety to the
entertainment in the shape of some
singing Specialties that are entirely
new and pleasing. Every effort has
been made to make this visit of the
"Dreamland'' a memorable one.
Edwin Forsberg, proprietor and
producer of the plays with the conf
pany which bears his name and is
now appearing at the Orpheum, made
his first personal appearance with the
company this week in the part
created by Wilton Lackaye in the
original production of Zine F'eath-
ers," and his performance was very
favorably compared with that of the
original
A new member of the company, who
made her first appearance here this
week with the Forsberg Players at
the Orpheum in Fine Feathers" is
Miss Isadore Martin, the regular in
genue of the company, who was out
of the bill last week because there
was no suitable part for her at the
time.
Miss Martin made decidedly inter-
esting and pleasing impression and is
bound to run Miss McHenry strong
race for popularity with the regular
attendants at the Forsberg perform
ances.
For those who have not yet seen
her it may be stated that Miss Martin
is a petite blonde artist, whose per-
sonality is exceedingly winning and
who puts her performance over the
footlights with a sincerity that makes
it land with her audience, and her
every point tells. In fact, sincerity
is the keynote of Miss Martins work,
and it is this element that makes her
acting SO universally liked, and shows
the difference, to the public, between
an actress who is merely acting and
one whose heart is in her work and
with her audience. This. indeed, APP
pears to be true of every member of
this splendid company.
Snitz Moore and George B. Scalon,
famous as delineators of quaint Irish
and German characters, win open the
season at the Odeon next Monday, in
burlesque.
Miss Alva McGill, who makes her
first appearance in burlesque direct
from successful vaudeville tour, will
be a feature of this show. Others on
the bill are Miss Martha (Marcita)
Edmond, the little FREELY soubrette;
Shaw and Lee, dancers de luxe;
Heloise Horton, Beatrice LaDue,
Florence Fletcher and Edna Lee:
while Harvey Greene, the genteel
juvenile straight man, is the foil for
all the comedy. Although a bur-
lesque, the show might equally as
well be classed as a real live musical
comedy. 1t is one of the best shows
of the season on the circuit of the
Progressive Wheel.
