AT THE ORPHEUNI.

Opening with the Elery Sisters in
some of the most clever and spec
tacular roller skating seen on the
local stage in many months, and
maintaining a we'll set standard
throughout, the Thursday, Friday
Saturday bill at the Orpheum the
alter can be classed among the best
in vaudeville. The musical num-
bers are especially good.
To fox trot is difficult for many.
as are other modern dance steps,
but the Elery sisters go through the
variations on skates in a manner ex-
ceptional In their whirling and
dual numbers the two misses are
spectacular.
Jerry and Gretchen O'Meara, in
novelty singing and character i'm
presentations. get away with some
thing slightly out OF the ord nary.
The former is clever in his changes,
and the latter boasts a very clea-'
and sweet voice. besides ability at
the piano.
Doree's BeauX and Bellies, a must
cal act, has its settings and costumes
from the southland Of early days.
Vocal and instrumental music and
dancing comprise a very clever en-
.tertainment Of unusual merit. The
dancing. however, is hardly as mark
ed for its entertaining as are the
musical numbers.
Heath and Perry, comedy singing
entertainers. tell about the opera in
Jewish dialect. during an intermis-
sion. The character singing by these
two went big Thursday night. The
Great Santell." heralded as the
worlds foremost sensational ath-
lete. closes the bill in remarkable
work with the weights. His muscu-
lar developn ant is shown at the
opening Of the act. following which
various feats Of strength are given.
Enough comedy Is inserted into the
finale 10 add zest TO its giving.
