ORPHEUM
Una Clayton, the little actress-autho
returns to the Orpheum this week in
the best playlet she has written or
played. Its simple title is MIX which
seems common enough, but which is
said to give a s much food for thought
as there is nutriment in this household
article. The New York milk committee
appealed to no less an artist than Miss
Clayton to write a vaudeville act that
would be entertaining, instructive and
fully set forth the lesson of the milk
question. Miss Clayton sought out facts
from milk dealers, dirty farms, etc, and
then turned TO the other side of the
story to learn its result on the coming
generations. And so Miss Clayton is
out to do her part to help to fight for
be doublY happy women If she has the
success she hopes for. Among the
sterling bill of attractions slated to
support Miss Clayton and her company
are old Harrisburg favorites. Mack and
Orth. the song writers. Also the Bo-

his great white horse, will figure in a
screeching comedy novelty. OBrien
