LADY BAND FEATURE
 ON ORPHEUM BILL
Twelve Excellent Musicians in Cora YOungblood CorsOn's Instru-
 mentalists

There are l2 excellent musicians in Cora Youngblood Corson's Instrumentalists at the Orpheum theatre this week, and they are not only solosts, but are excellently trained musicians, presenting the great est lady orchestra in vaudeville. This is one of the biggest musical features in Keith vaudeville. The act is known as
 The Girls of the Golden West" and it is splendidly costumed, as well as staged. Miss Corson is a soloist of note. as well as leader and instructor She has trained this band with more. than the usual care. and for vaudeville it is an excellent musical organization.
 Another exceptionally good act offered this week is the Gray Trio, each of whom has voice that shows careful train ing. The selection of their songs is exceptionally happy. If one of the mem- bers is entitled to special mention it is Miss Norma Cray who possesses an un- usually high voice.
 Excellent comedy is promised by Me Grath and Yeoman. a team of clever and versatile entertainers, who score great hits everywhere. It is mostly com edy, but of the very ;aughable kind
 Joe Kelley, recognized as one of the clever monologuists, who sing original songs and parodies. is the fourth act on the bill, and the fifth win be an- nounced later as the management has in view an exceptionally good speciality with which to open the show.

talented, and winsome. She sings and tells stories in a manner that capti- yates an audience and she wears some stunning gowns that are the envy of the women.
 The extra added act is one of the greatest features in vaudeville, the diving seal offered by the Travilla brothers. The seal dives into a great tank of water on the stage and the men dive in with him. The seal imi- tates everything the men do The Ira villo brothers are deep sea divers and one of them holds a record for over four minutes under water and a depth of CT feet in a straight dive unassist- ed. They captured and trained the seal themselves. The brothers come from the Cataline islands, where they were pearl fishers. The other brother holds a record off under water swimming 12S yards.
 Robert L. Bailey is one of the fa- nous family and like his great broth CT is noted for the cleverness, original ityeand differentnes of his comedy. wing his personality well, two authors wrote a vaudeville nonsense about him and his fame for repartee and always playing practical and in- nocent jokes, no matter where he is or in what company. The act is a laugh from end to end and is comedy fea- ture

The quintet includes the two greatest risley acrobats that Ja- pan has produced and this end of the act is said to be startling and clever. The Japs use a hand embroidered cur tain which cost $4000 and is said to be a magnificent specimen of the Japan csc art.

"ZIEGFELD FOLLIES" TO BE AT THE JEFFERSON
Great Musical Comedy Institution to Be Seen Here for First Time
 Saturday Night

Despite the fact that "Ziegfeld Fol lies" is the only musical comedy insti- eA1ion in the world and has been play Sns the principal cities of the east al most continuously for the past seven years, the massive organization has never appeared in the south, but by special arrangement with Messrs. Klaw X Erlanged and F. Ziegfeld. Jr., a spe- eial four weeks tour has been ar ranged and the big entertainment is to be ehXibited at the Jefferson theatre Saturday night. Notwithstanding that all of Mir. Ziegfelds previous offerings lave been among the most elaborate ever presented the forthcoming Fol lies" is said to excel any of his for mer productions.
 The book of the present "Ziegfeld Follies" is by George V. Hobart with music from the pen of Raymond Hub bell. with special numbers by Buck and Stamper The work is in two acts and 13 massive scenes. There are more than 150 musical comedy entertainers employed in the presentation of the piece. The cast comprises the names of such popular players as Jose Col lins, Frank Tinney. Leon Errol, Nat Wills, Elizabeth Grice. Stella Chate- lalnc, 1tnel A1nOTlIa Kelley, Allild Pennin gton. William Le Brun, Murray Queen, J. Bernwrd Dyllyn, Harry Crib ben. Peter Swift. Max Scheck.

Reta Spear Lillian Taschman, Charles Mitchell, Pawn Conway. Charles Schribner, Flo Hart, Arthur Rose ana Eleanor Dell
 In addition to the principals men, tioned above there will be a particu- larly large beauty chorus comprised of medium sized young women. MT. Zieg- field, who was the first producer to introduce in musical comedy the big show girl. has in his latest offering elimi hated that type of beauty and promises to exhibit an unusually clever singing and dancing aggregation.

great one, but it affords Miss Bunt- ing an unusual opportunity. The Prin- cess of Patches shows Miss Bunting in the character of a waif. who, through a combination of circumstances, has been deprived of her rights and place in so- ciety. In her babyhood it is supposed that she has been stolen from her par ents. and has grown up in squalor and ignorance, under the harshest kind of treatment from her captors. She is be- friended by a nondescript sort of char acter, who is little more than a tramp, but who succeeds in finding out her real name and restores her to her proper position. Miss Bunting has many amus- ing scenes with this tramp, who gives her the title of 'The Princess of Patches because of the torn condi- tion of her clothes. The locale of the play is in the south, and an effort is being made to give the play a particu-
 arly strong scenic environment, and as realistic as possible. One of the scenes shows a cotton field in full bloom, and all of them will be found more or less attractive.
 The Bijou has been closed during the past week for the purpose of building an adequate production for Miss Bunting S production, and it will be particularly good. F. A. Schiller. manager for Miss Bunting, spent practically all of the past week in Birmingham arranging for the special engagement, and he stated that ho was more than pleased with the out look
 Miss Bunting has never offered .,The Princess of Patches in Birmingham al- though in other cities it has proved to be the best vehicle in which she ap- peared. Miss Bunting has been away from Birmingham exactly eleven weeks, hav- ing spent that time in Memphis in stock There will be the usual performances every night during the week, and matt nees on Tuesday, Thursday and Satur- day afternoons. The matinees being the great Bunting performances at the Bi- Jou. the management is already planning some way to take care of the extra crowds which are expected to flock to the theatre

Tyranny of Tears by C. Haddon Cham bers. and 'The Will by J. M Barrie In the first mentioned play MT. Drew gives one of those finished studies of a man of the world for which ne IS so adept. In the latter play, which is written in three scenes Mr. Drew successively shows three distinct portraits of the same man, each at different epoch of his life.
 Miss Elizabeth Brice. the comedienne with .'Ziegfeld Folies,' is very ambit- ious, and when she is not employed on the stage, devotes her time to writing scenarios for moving picture plays.
 "Once upon a time,' said Miss Brce 'I wrote q little sketch and was for tunate enough to have it presented. Then l desired to do more of the same kind Of work and cherished ambitions for play writing, but I soon discovered what that meant. and as I was ambitious for the stage, l turned my attention in that direction. But then came the moving pictures. I soon found that an excellent opportunity was presented for one who could think up plots, and so l got in touch with the right parties and set to work Now, if I choose, I could give up the stage and make a good living in this other direction. But don't want to do that; like both lines of work'

In the role of Haji the Begsar, who experiences asl many adventures in q day as did Sin bad in a lifetime, MT. skinner has at tained his full artistic stature in the character and has given to the stage q distinctive and fascinating figure that will be enduring in theatrical history
 
 One of the most expensive as well as greatest singing organizations travelling is that presenting the reigning success of the New York season, Adele" the French operetta, which comes to the lief ferson shortly for an engagement of three performances
 Adele is by those well known au- thors and collaborateurs. Paul Herve and Jean Briquet, who gave to this coun- try the big success of three years ago. Alma" and was adapted for the Amer ican stage by Adolh Phillip and Edward Paulton. who also made the English translation of 'Alma."
 ',rhe seal with the human brain'' is what the official billing says of the re- markable animal presented by Travilla brothers. The seal gives a series of stunts that are most interesting. enter taining and unique. Together with the three Travillas, the seal gives a very out of the ordinary swimming and div ing exhibition in a huge tank especial ly constructed for the purpose. The seal seems to know that he is star performer and is declared to evnce pleasure at the chance to give enter tainment.

IT IS DEAD

Dispatches announce that eX-Pres- ident Roosevelt has shot a cururo The dictionary informs us that the cururo is a "burrowing Chilean octo- Gontine roden (Senus Spalacopus) with rudimentary ears" We assume from this that the deceased cururo with it's parliamentary ears never had heard of the distinguished hunter and did not even hear him approach. and, therefore, has fallen a victim to it's ignorance. It unburrowed for careless moment and as a result its hide and skeleton will adorn the Smithsonian Institution. If the in stitutiOn also possesses the hide and outfit of the gentle creature which represents the democratic party, also described as inclined to burro. tho contrast between the rudimentary ears of the cururo and the abun- dantly developed ears Of the other animal will be striking. The dis ratches say that the cururo Is very rare. and from this we infer that hereafter # will be still rarer But 1T is too late now for regrets. ford Courant
