learned to expect something worth
| while. He is one producer who has
never trified with the people, and
his guarantee is always to be re-
lied upon. Therefore, it is OF un-
| usual interest to note that Mr..
| Savage will offer saucy Mitzi, his
| only star, in q new and refreshingly
novel comic opera, "Pom-Pom," at
the Orpheum Saturday.
The prima donna and operetta
achieved a remarkable success in
New York where the performance
was given over 200 times at the
George NJ. Cohan theater. The big
original production will be present

opera de luxe, as 1t contains not
only MitZi, the most engaging figure
in light opera, but Charles Nc

comedians; a beauty chorus and
ballet that is really beautiful, and
really can and does dance and sing
