of this theatre, is sparing no time
nor money to select the best moving

read the book. Come and see this ex-

craft makes their offering pleasing

of the company of vocalists has never
been equalled at the Orpheum. Laughter
however, is the keynote of the bill. 1t
reaches its height in the excellent
George Ade comedy called Speaking
to Father" that Milton Pollock and
company are presenting. This comedy
playict is good for one continuous
laugh. Another of the bills very pop
ular acts is the breezy and catchy
Irritation ekit presented by Harry and
Eva Puck.
This clever couple rank with the best
known in vaudeville and even though
few Orpheum patrons recall them since
they were here before, it is only fair to
say that they are one of the most pop
ular teams on the bill. The Pucks are
probably not so well remembered here
because the last time they appeared
at the Orpheum, they did a very clever
juvenile act. But brother and sister
have grown some since then and this
time their Offering is along the lines of
grown-ups. They were clever as juve-
niles and very popular here. but this
time they are certainly more popular
than before. The Willie Brothers offer

ADJUSTMENTS
''Uncle Toms Cabin

There has never been so lavish and
adequate production of "Uncle
Tom s Cabin as that which Kibble
and Martin will offer amusement lovers
at the Majestic on Friday afternoon
and evening. The scenes which are
large enough to fill the most spacious
stage could not be easily improved.
Those representing the Ohio river in
winter, the rocky pass in which George
Harris protects his family, the st.
Claire plantation, the levee at New
Orleans, the cotton fields in full bloom,
and the Celestial City, are all most
notable effects. Each pictures the real
ity as closely as paint and canvas will
permit and the stage prospecting is so
big that the effect is exceptionally
pleasing. The company is also worthy of
the environment. Gus Collins, the emf
nent minstrel star, offers an excellent
study of Uncle Tom.-Adv.*
