At the Orpheum

The Orpheum s very clever and d.
vertmg vaudeville offering that pleased
large audiences all week will make its
exit after tonight s performance. Chief
OF the layout of stars ON next week s
bill, in fact one of the brightest lights
of the Orpheum s whole season, will
be Henrietta Crosman, who is actually
one of the greatest artists on the
American stage. Miss Crosman s many
legitimate successes, some of which
have been seen in this city, include
among other plays, "The Tongues of
Men," 'The Real Thing ''The Pea
cock and the Cross, - ''The Dutchess of
Suds, - "AntiAMatrimony," "Sham, -
The Christian Pilgrim Mistress
Nell and "All of Sudden Peggy. "
She is also SAakespearean actress of
note and is probably the best "Rosa-
lind - the stage has produced. However.
the present season finds Miss Crosman
in vaudeville.
just how permanent her appearance
there will be remains TO be seen. but
nevertheless the firm of Wilmer & Vim
cent secured her local engagement at
the earliest possible date and the re-
suit is that Miss Crosman will be seen
at the Orpheum next week for the first
time at popular prices in Harrisburg.
On the same bill Swor and Mack, the
biackface comedians and recent stars
In AL. Fields Minstrel show, will take
care of the big share of the comedy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jack McGreevy, the very
best ''rube y comedians in vaudeville,
appear on this offering also. A wealth
of other sterling talent will be present.
ed supporting Miss Crosman and the
layout actually looks remarkable.-

At the Regent

"Tiliie's Punctured Romanceo is
still at the Regent and absolutely con.
tented, Marie wishes to say that she is
very sorry that she is compelled to say
goodbye this evening as she rather
enjoyed the last two days while in the
Capital of this State. AS for Charlie

way, Charlie said he rather enioyed il
and as for Mabel she was tickled to
death and hope to come back to the Re

has surely proven great success at
this theatre and judging from the re-
ports of patrons it has met with their
approval in every respect.

his hand and stopped her, the decision

''The Ghost Breaker,' with John EN-
erson featured as the lead. 1t, has to
begin with, the solid substance which
makes the feature stand out above the
rank and file of films; it has the right
qualities of form; the dramatic con
struction is bold, but clear and con-
sistent. 1t has an admirable plot com
bined with excellent acting and SUI
perior direction; and again it has the
countrywide reputation that the play
created for itself. The story is nov
el and refreshing something filed with
rich red blood and far from the monot.
onous routine of every day modern
business existence.
