oRPHEUM HAS GOOD BILL.
Four Acts and Motion Pictures For the
Last Part Of This Week.

The bill at the Orpheum for this last
half Is really one of the best this
theater has given us in a long time.
The two reel drama, His Affianced
Wife" starts off the enjoyable program.
This picture is exceptionally good, be-
cause 1t has good plot, tells good
story and has good acting thruout.
Dunn & Dean are the first act. This
clever couple, man and woman, are
rare entertainers. They give an act
that is entirely new to the Orpheum
patrons, and were well received last
evening. Miss Dunn not only dances
well but she sings and also plays the
piano. Besides this she is pretty. Mr..
Dean gives limitations most cleverly.
When he takes you with him on his
visit to the farm, the whistle Of the
train. the cackle Of the chickens, and
the greeting of the mule all are given
most naturally.
Fitch Cooper. the musical rube, is to
be given credit for his way Of putting
over" his jokes. He not only is ap-
plauded once, but turnout the time he
is on" His is good. clean and witty
comedy from the start. He plays on
the ordinary saw. fiddle and other in
struments. Mr.. Cooper won the house
last evening.

not only fall and tumble about. but do
clever work from the time they first
appear till the end of their act. They
enjoyed much applause.
The evenings show is concluded with
a one reel comedy, by Fair Means or
Foul" which proved scream, and
marked the evenings bill as one of the
best yet seen here. Orpheum.
