AH .indications are that there is a corking good bill listed which, together with a cool theater freshly overhauled, should make the opening an auspicious one. Of tho head-liner head-liner Ashton Stovens in tho Chicago Examiner says: "Hogular vaudeville of the best and most regular kind is submitted by Master Mas-ter Gabriel & Co. in 'Little Tommy Tucker.' Imitations have only accentuated ac-centuated Master Gabriel's vivid characterization. char-acterization. Hero is a boy that almost al-most ranks with Mark Twain's 'Tom Sawyer,' and James Barrie'a sentimental senti-mental 'Tommy.' He is an immortal little cuss, He loves a prank and loathes a sham. Ho is a civilizing antidote anti-dote against the seriousness nnct pomposity pom-posity of his Honiors. lie is the real Christian Science, the apostle of optimism. op-timism.

WITH a niatiuco this afternoon at 3 and three performances tonight, to-night, the first commencing at 7:45, "Nancy Leo," the merry melange of nonsense set with a score of bright musical selections, comes to a Commencing with Monday matinee another strong bill has been arranged for. Bert Porter is responsible for a sketch termed "The Cheerful Liars," in which he started out of Chicago on the most prominout vaudeville . circuit in tho country. Advance notices report this ono of the biggest laughing vehicles vehi-cles presented in the city in some months. "The King of Black well Island" is another skit that bids fair CORDELIA HAAGEE, In "A Laugh in Many Languages" at the Orpheum All This Week. from Littlo Nemo; is the .youngest old gentleman on the stage. That promising promis-ing juvenile comedian, Joseph Jefferson, Jeffer-son, would have been proud to include him among the children of Rip, and Barrie himself might invent, a jiow dramatic kennel for Edwin Lamar, who plays Mutt, tho dog. His pantomime is perfect. It abounds in tlic sort of humor that characterizes great cartoonists. cartoon-ists. It. suggests not only the animal in his comic aspect, but tho human-animal, human-animal, to borrow from Ambrose Bearce tho only adequate word. The supporting support-ing cast includes an all-star aggregation aggrega-tion seldom seen in one single vaudeville vaude-ville sketch. Such an act, keeps the theater young. It makes an unwritten but none the less forcible Jaw against vulgarity with such vaudeville as Master Gabriel in 'Little Tomnry Tucker.' Tuck-er.' We do not pay at the door to be insulted." Another strong act is the offering of tho Namba Japs who. amid gorgeous oriental settings, do some stunts that aro described as marvelous. The ono feature that attracts the most, attention atten-tion is accomplished by Tokio Namba when ho climbs a flight, of stairs on his head. George Austin Moore and Cordelia Hanger arc destined to delight with one of those pot-pourri offerings of lively repartee, good songs nnd nimble dances. Bessie Bown Bicker is another attraction at-traction on the initial bill that is said to bo decidedly entertaining. Hor specialty spe-cialty is child impersonations with somo bright patter that is just the thing for jaded nerves. Billy Smytho and Marie Hartmau, the former a fine baritone and his partner a joyful little singer and dancer, havo an offering which thev call "Before and After." Their singing, sing-ing, dancing the attractiveness of Miss Hartman's gowns and their sparkling, spark-ling, snappy dialogue alwavs make them favorites Comedy, is featured strongly in the Louise Stickney circus. Thorc are a dog and pony in the act that are trained to the minute. Anothor feature feat-ure is the stilt walking and dancing of the man of the company. The act is well staged and one of the sort that delights all ages. Another big laugh producer on the bill is tho sketch, "Mrs. Potter Ja hirst." m . which Mac M. Barnes, Louise Renting and Robert W. Graham Gra-ham prove admirablo entertainers. It shows what takes place when a widow, on marrying her second husband, thinks her first had conic back to life, but ho proves lo bo a twin. .Then there will be davlight motion pictures as a permanent feature and tho famous concert orchestra. ' TILE new bill which goes on at the Liberty tomorrow promises to. havo enough variety to suit the most fastidious. A biograph comedy-drama, "A Country Cupid," heads the bill. It deals With the ro-mancc ro-mancc of a pretty littlo schoolmarm and hor country pupils. Tho second of yjl'son's United Stntos History series, The Capture of Fort, Ticonderoga,-, tells how Lthan Allen and tho Greou Mountain boys captured Fort Ticon-deroga, Ticon-deroga, on Lake Champlaiu, on the to keep the audience in tumultuous and continuous laughter. Louis Craig will be heard in one of Bert Williams', the famous colored comedian, latest songs, "That's a Plenty," and will also render "Oh, What's tho Use," made famous by Raymond Hitchcock. Both songs, rendered in the inimitable mannerism man-nerism of Mr. Craig, are worth the price of admission alone. Miss Maud Trimble will render a special ballad. "It Must Be Love," and "Billy," made famous of Billy Clifford in vaudeville. vaude-ville. This, together with the first run feature films that are now en route, goes to make up a bill that will undoubtedly un-doubtedly drive away cares during the sultry summer evenings. busy removing the costtirricfTHI ory to a storage warehouse 'flll Julia Dean (Salt Lak0'8 ,uMf-played ,uMf-played to equal honors wlauBf,a O'Neil iu "The Lily" (J7 ?A MP few weeks ago, has closed SHf?
