The ORPHEUM'S new BILL

Hughes Pleases as Lady Gossip"
Miss Avery and Mr.. Henshaw
Present an Amusing Skit

Sophie Barnard, Mrs. Gene Hughes
Grace Avery and John Henshaw divide
honors in the Halloween bill at the Or
pheum theatre this week. All are per.
formers of ability and after hearing
and seeing them one wonders who has
the "star's' dressing room, if there is
such a thing at the Orpheum. If there
is any combination of circumstance
that brings so many good acts to.
gether in one bill, long live that com.
bination of circumstances!
Miss Barnard, who is billed as
Vaudeville's Greatest Operatic Sing.
err, carefully avoids the heavy op,
cratic selections and her hearers are de.
lighted because in the opinion of many
of them such selections would not be
half so interesting as the songs she has
picked out Her medley of famous
tunes by famous composers, who lament
the presentday tendency of song writ,
ers to steal the old melodies and "rag'
them for tango teas, has a touch of
originality.

In the act Mrs. Hughes has not depart
ed far from the character she likes so
well to play and gives the act de-
cidedly funny turn, although the end

is lead to believe that it points a
truth. She is supported by an able

In take-off of an entire vaudeville

opportunity for fun-making which the
clever pair do not let slip.
The bill gets a whirlwind start with
the Swain-Ostman trio of tumblers and
athletes, and closes with an unusual
final act,-the six military dancers
who keep the audience in their seats

Now while the subway's up in the

service we already have?
One way to increase surface car
efficiency is to switch wagon traffic
off the street car tracks.
Put it on the streets where there
are no tracks. Yes, even on the boule-
wards.
Street cars carry more people than
autos do; and there is no reason why
boulevards should be reserved for
autos and newspaper wagons.
There is nothing in the election re-
suits to indicate that the women are
not just as good citizens as the men.
In a general way they appear to be
less partisan and more Independent.
Police officers have been teaching
the policewomen how to shoot re-
VOlvers.
Who are the coppettes expected to
kill?
And will they next be given
course of training on how to admins
ter the third degree?
MAZE Punkhouser says women cops
are better marksmen than the men.
Women seem to be pretty good
marksmen with their ballots, too. Ask
the Vets.
Talking about that H.-H. alliance,
the election returns give Mayor Har-
rison good grounds for political
divorce.

aid to road building and road

mean new rural routes. Rural
routes mean good mail service to

The value OF this rural free

can not be estimated in dollars

our people every convenience. Our
