"A vaudeville bill that is quite
appropriate for holiday week
is the attraction at the Orpheum
theatcr, and at the three perform
ances yesterday II went over with
a bang. Every act on the pro-
gram is good and deserved the
great bursts OF applause that was
bestowed upon each individual ef'
fort.
Lovett's Concentration headlines
and gracefully walked away with
that positions honors. The act Is
very unique. with mental telep-
athy playing the big part. Five
| jazz mus. clans are seated upon-the
stage. and 1t is their duty to play
| any song or musical composition
| the audience requests. At tho per-
formance last night they never
| missed a call or a note. The boys
| playing are real musicians and rem
| dered every selection faultlessly.
| The Jazz numbers called for were
| especially pleasing and brought
| forth bursts Of applause.
Ed Janis and Company assisted

ed song and dance revue that Is
| quite the most artistic number
seen In many weeks. The girls
are pretty, very pretty, the vocal
| numbers being wdal chosen and put
over In fine shape. The terpsi-
| chorcan effort Of Miss Rocker was
n delight. and the little lady ac-
| knowledged great applause. The
Southern Sisters danced individu-
| ally and with Mr.. Janis. and scored.
| The work of the star. Ed Janis.
| produced many difficult steps. each
| done in q manner that got big re-
| turns. The Revue IL a real act
and enhances the present weeks
bill.
Joe Darcy. blackface comedian.
Is billed as "A Dark Cloud with a
silver Lining" Mr.. Darcy tells
some stories that contain some
humor, but his main forte Is his
voice. This fellow Darcy has a
voice that will get him over any
where. Close your eyes and listen
and you would stake your bank
account that you were hearing Al
| Jolson., Not an iota of difference
Same robust quality. same sweet
ness. and same pleasing rendition
of song that only A Jolson and
| Joe Darcy can produce. Last
night the comedian sang "Swance. u
| the number that Is featured by
Jolson in "Sinbad" and n was q
| gem.
Theatergoers who have seen the
| inimitable Jolson on Broadway OF
those who have heard Jolson's rec
ords will delight in this fellow
Darcy's performance.
| Otto and Sheridan. two girls
one at the piano. present a very
| pleasing act. which includes sew
eral songs. exceptionally done. The
| "Woolworth" number and Tired
| of Me-" song first sung straigh,
and then In the Irish dialect, later
az an Englishman would sing II,
| and then as "wop" would han
die 1t. finished the act strong.
| Herbert and Dare In Athletic
| simplicity" Is just as the billing
| states. an act that offers the most
| unusual feats In athletic agility,
| done with remarkable ease.
| Hart. Wagner and Mildren In
! Going to the OPERA" and The Ara
Sisters In Their Own Dance Crea
tions" ended bill that will please
everybody.
| MAJESTIC.
THE Furnace" the new William
ID, Taylor production, Is an unusu-
ally powerful photodrama. The
! picture. which opened to crowded
houses at the Majestic theater yes
| terday, is a big production in many
senses of the word.
The theme Is striking. the action
| and plot gripping and well por.
| trayed by an all-star cast Of not
ables including such popular fav.
orites as Agnes Ayres, Jerome Pat
rick, Theodore Roberts, Helen
Dunbar. Betty Francisco, Milton
Sills, Mayme Kelso and others
Big things are usually expected OF
such director as William ID. Tay-
| lor. who produced the picture, but
the general opinion Is that this
| time Mr.. Taylor has smashed home
real winner.
The story revolves around the
society marriage OF a wealthy Eng
| lishman and popular London
actress, the confession Immediate
| ~ afterward that he married his
| wife merely because he had heard
| that she had threatened to sue him
| Tor breach OF promise Ii he Tilted
| her. Their subsequent estrange-
mpnt and the many dramatic com
| plications which follow before a
reconciliation is effected make a
very tense drama.
The picture is an adaptation by
| Julia Crawford lvers OF the new
novel. The Furnace" by the Eng
| lish writer, Pan" which prom
ises to create a sensation among
fiction lovers and Is Just coming
off the press.
While every credit must be given
the author, producers and director,
1t Is right to dwell q little longer
on the exceptional cast. Milton
I Sills. who lately starred In Be
| hold My Wife" plays part In
| THE Furnace" that Is an unusua
| portrayal. Theodore Roberts is the
same excellent characterization
that we have come to expect from
this sterling player. Agnes Ayres
