oRPHEUM SEASON OPENS.
By ARTHUR B. WHITE.

PRESIDENT Manager. The OrpheumD
The opening of the theatrical sea-
son is always an interesting event in
my life. but the one this year is eX-
ceptionally so. due to the fact that,
after a years absence, | am back in
New Orleans.
The Orpheum season will open with
the matinee Monday, September 3,
and ! am glad to say that the initial
bill appears to be not only up to the
high standard the Orpheum has es-
tablished in the past, but somewhat
above that mark. This bill will be
headlined by Sophie Tucker, the ia
nous singing Coincidence, known as
The Mary Garden of Ragtime."
| can't imagine a more appropriate
person to relieve the war tension or
to cause one to forget the II. c. l..
than Sophie Tucker. Her name is
SYNONYMOUS with joy, and | am par
ticularly grateful that she is to have
the distinction of ushering in the
vaudeville season. 1t has been sew
eral years since Miss Tucker appeared
in New Orleans and in her absence
she has collected a small company OF
five young men.
