dies; Annapolis Boys
Clever Quintet

The man that hath no music in his
SOUL had better not order Orpheum
tickets this week, for out of seven acts
four. or to be precise, 81 Ii per cent,
are musical.
Not that music is the only thing.
Far be 1t from the astute c. Floyd
Hopkins to book bill that way. For
instance, there is clever contortion-
list act with two men and n girl-a
very pretty Girl-doing the contor-
tlons again there is "a skit When
we Grow Up" which proves to you
that things are not always what they
seem. and Tom johnson with two
trained dogs that grin ever so wisely
at you.
But music is the principal thing.
see?
The Pereira String Sextet heads the
week. Artistes-every one-the seXtet
plays those delightfully."- melodious airs
from the Italian operas that make you
close your eyes. lay back and dream
90. we'll dream to suit yourself.
Paul Pereira. director, is master with
the violin and his work is particularly
noteworthy. Perhaps the selection
that pleased the audience most was
the opening one-'The Rosary
played in way that was a revelation
to those who did not know the effects
possible with string Instruments
You'll Wish You Were Bronson
But pardon me if l hurry to

for IN Just crazy to tell YOU about
EN-. The way they sing Good Night,
Mr.; Moon, with Bronson a-hugging
Baldwin-who is mighty pretty. witty
and cleNerly dressed little lady-makes
FELLOW almost wish he was Bronson
Ihey open up their act hugging right
out there on the middle of the stage
with a spotlight just about the size of
the moon shining on them. And the
way they plead with that old Mr..
Moon TO so chase himself IL would
he little wonder if he went away and
never came up again despite the
clamors of time ana tide. Tnen they
sing Just for Tonight" and ."Kis,

me tell you.
Five Annapolis Boys
The Five Annapolis Boys. a quintet
of excellent singers. introduce a lot
oil rolickinE new sailor songs and old
tar melodies. The scene is the quar-
terdeck of an American warship-get
the war-and most of the song is about
some girl or other down IN Panama

winch. The basso of the quintet sings
especially well. The other musical act
is Harry Mayo and Harry Tally, one
halt of the old Empire city Quartet.
IheN sing olly a few songs, but they
sing them admirably.
When We Grow Up was at the
Colonial at one time and those of you
who saw ii know it could be a lot
better here and there. but on the
whole 1t is rather. mirth- provoking
and that's all it's intended to do any
way.
Iom Johnsons trained dogs are
almost as clever as was Buster" the

pumpkin Girl" The aldy. as you
iEht suspect, comes out of huge
pumpkin.
And hy the way just this little tin
! from the Playgoer:
There was big peach crop
this year and Mr.. Lasky picked
the best of EN- for his Garden of
Peaches which will be presented
at the Orpheum next week.
