ORPHEUM.

Two of the greatest stars in vau-
deville will occupy the leading po-
sitions on the program of the Or
pheum all next week, starting with
the matinee Monday afternoon.
They are Louise Dresser and Jack
Gardner. Although these two ar
fists have long enjoyed as exceed
ingly happy domestic partnership,
this is the first time they have ap-
peared together on the stage, and
the result is all that could be ex-
pected from two who have climbed
to success in vaudeville as has been
theirs. Miss Dresser, a statuesque
blonde, of imposing appearance and
great beauty, has been by turns must
cal comedy star, dramatic star ana

umphs in THE Chocolate Soldier"
and Madame Sherry" Together,
this clever pair is heard in a cycle
of individual songs.

ers of all forms of dramatic art, is
the next in importance on the Or

a delightful bit of numerous writing.
The playlet is by Edwin Burke, and
deals with the entrance of son into
his fathers firm of the fayorite son
OF the family. The dialogue in this
sketch is very bright, and the action
extremely rapid. The boys first
job is as porter in his fathers es-
tablishment, and his climb to part
nership is graphically portrayed with
an abundance of numerous incident
ins the short time it requires Mr..
Decker and his capable company, in
Guiding Q beautiful stenographer, to
present And Son."
George Austin Moore, a strolling
player who has wandered round the
world, will be special added attrac-
ton to this program. His set is an
entertaining single, combining some
thing new in modern vaudeville with
some of the things he did for many

in two explosions, seven splinters
and a short gas attack" Bnt it is
claimed that every explosion rocks
the theater with laughter; every
splinter of the seven is a shaft of
fun, and the short gas attack is
made with laughing gas.
There are three modern muske-
teers in THE Better OLE" but they
are different from those of Dumas
romance-scented days. Old Bill
with his comic 'Ullo is the Porthos
of this up-to-date trench romance;
Bert, who has "a girl in every
trench is the Athos, and ALT, with
his never-lighting cigarette blight
err" is the modern Aramic.
Many musical numbers arein-
terpolated during the action of the
play, and there is an exceptional
chorus. So there will be frills as
well as thrills.

He decided that Ethel had left the
city. He passed wretched week. At
It's end he received letter, evidently
posted on a train.
Dear friend" it read, you shall
soon hear from me, and probably in a
way that will clear the situation. Trust
and believe in me-"
Cyril found employment at a new
source. Twice he met his uncle on the
street and bowed cOurteOusly, but the
latter refused TO recognize him. Then.
one day, glorious sunburst of Joy Il.
lumined his lonely, longing soul. he
met Ethel on the street. There were
mutual greetings, such as only loyal,
loving hearts can experience.
II have just come from your uncle"
said Ethel. THE day l was discharged
from his service i overheard enough
between himself and Hall to know that
the latter had brought about our trou-
BILE. Then / remembered something.
For some months he had been handling
the new account with Robert Lull,
Springfield, and several times Noticed
discrepancies in that account. Do you
know what he was doing? Shipping
double cOnsignments to Lull, who was
his accomplish, and billing only one.
The thought came to me to 60 to
Springfield and seek employment with
Lull, which ] did. An hour since
proved to your uncle that Hall had
stolen thousands of dollars worth Of
goods from him."
"And my uncle% queried Cyril anI-
iously.
"Said I was too valuable an en-
ployee to lose. Said, too, he would
trust only his own kin in his business
after this, meaning you. He wishes TO
see you at once"
"Yes. Ethel will do" were the cheer
ing words of John Aston, after
reconciliation with Cyril. "She has
won nv admiration and regard, as she
has your love, Cyril. l guess we nsu
better allow matters to take Their
course"
The course" led directly TO an en-
g.gement ring, and Cyril Blake's fono-
est hopes were realized.
