Orpheum.


1t is %restful diversion to sit through
the performance offered for the current
week at the Orpheum, where a bill OF
popular type is holding forth. 1t is a
program that will meet with general
favor not because of its artistry, but
because of It's ability to amuse.
Practically unheralded, Henri Hen
lere, a deft pianist with a wealth OF
musical nerve and a pleasing person
ality, plays his way into the good graces
of his audience and those who heard
him Monday night were loath to let him
go. Henlere intermingles classical with
ragtime In an %unending harmony and
his showmanship is unquestioned. One
even forgives him his hirsute adorn-
ment In view Of his entertaining abili-
ties.
Joseph E. Bernhard presents "Who
Is She with the assistance Of Miss
Ntnita Bristow, a clever little domestic
comedy from the pen Of Willard Mack,
whose flashes Of domestic sunshine and
rain are as ephemeral as the winds.
While the sketch played here before,
1t is fully as amusing as in its first
presentation.
Monday night for lack of his p%arapher-
MALTA, gave evidence of his ability In
legerdemain which has placed him high
In the ranks Of conjurcrs. His full
act will be shown for the remainder Of
the week.
Burns and Frablto. not strangers to
Memphians, have a new laugh skit
which is adorned with music, this pair
making their usual hit,
Others on the bill include DeVine and
Williams In a melange of chatter, and
the Flying Weavers in aerial stunts.
