Orpl,curn.

at the Orpheum thcater yesterday,
when seven big-time acts tore loose
and furnished patrons with one of
the snappiest entertainments seen
In Tulsa in quite some time. Every
act was up and at 'em, without
giving the vast audience a chance
to take a second breath.
From the moment the curtain
ascends until the final drop, there
is JOY, music and song, compsn-
ioned by fcats of daring agility,
with the result that, for clean, en-
joyable variety, the present weeks
bill Is difficult to excel,
'Ye Song Shop" headlines. This
act came to Tulsa quietly, but
proved to be the loudest revue
success offered here In many
weeks. There are two handsome
boys and seven dashingly beauti-
full maidens. Each does something
distinct novelty in song. and
worked out admirably During
the presentation there IS intro
auced many of the d-tims popu-
lar songs we loved 30 dearly in
days gone by.
I'm the Good Old Summer
Time" Garry Me Back to Old
Virglnny." THE Merry Widow"
and others that were the reigning
melodies OF their days. were rem
dered by voCalists who could sell
a song to an audience and make
them ask for more. He, the fell
low who sung the old numbers,
sang Chinatown" in manner
that brought down the house.
The new songs went like Wild
fire. Jazzy, swingy. tuney, melo-
dies that had the house swaying
from side to side. Each number
wnen sung served to present a girl
appropriately costumed. "Ye Song
shop" Is a sure-fire hit and Will
delight Tulsans all this week

little while they get down to work
and put over n hit IN short order

pleasing voice and delivers soliily,
while the male member Is a dancer

Al VILLA ms and Co. offer n play

an exceptionally clever effort, re-
sembling for the most part dra-
ma entitled "Tennessec's Pardncr," p"
hut In the vaudeville version there
is introduced a new brand OF COM
edy that keeps one IN merry
humOr throughout. There is n
tense moment here and there,
but never enough to get really Sc
rious. Al Williams az "Gce Will

happened in the year 1867 that
we finally decided that Gee Will

carelessly
