in this particular instance being three
very comely young women, easily top
lie offerings presented for the first
part of the week at the Orpheum.
Staged in three scenes, the act seems
to be considerably above the usual sum
mer offerings and Is worthy of pre-
sentation in big time.
The indian camp scene Is one of the
features of the program and the Jap
anese scene is equally beautiful and
pleasing to look upon, The third and
the hit of the act is the balloon girl
scene, where a young woman glides out
over the heads of those in the audi
ence and sings, while everyone wishes
he were up In a balloon, too. The act
is pleasing throughout and is well re-
eeived.
Bob Milliken, in comedy and songs,
gets his act over in a style that makes
him a favorite in the betting and the
Vannersons, in an old-time circus
clown act, do osme very good trapeze

The Saw-Horse, finding himself alive,
seemed even more astonished than Tip.
He rolled hts knotty eyes from side to

the world In which he had now so

the moss that lined the roadside,
Tip became alarmed at this accident,
as well as at the persistence Of the
Saw-Horse In praneing around in a
