Joseph Jefferson, son of a Tenoivned nctr.7 tn.ther, will appear with Blanche j Eeuder at the Orpheum oeit week, com-mem-iu; with tho Sunday matinee, De- i cemlipr 13. Tho vehicle in which this , notable comedian of the younger generation gener-ation will make his bow is William C. Do Millo's farcical playlet entitled "Poor Old Jim," descriptive of an inebriate's in-ebriate's return after a carousal and the means of effecting a cure as adopted bv his wife and physician. Blanche Bender, as the wife, is capable and pretty and brings out all the fine points in a subtle humor. Theodore Bendix and hiB hand of plavers will reappear. Their ensemble work is delightful and their solos are all jilaved with remarkable technique and expression. Bendix, the celebrated composer, conductor and publisher, was heard in Salt Lake City last vear, and his act was distinctly one of the favorites fa-vorites of the entire Orpheum season, fie plays selections to suit all classes, and popularity is the result. Edward Miller (some boy) and TIelene Vincent (some girl) will offer 'some songs," and they are said to possess one of tho most pleasing acts in vaudeville. Their appearance is good and they have selected numbers that are in good taste. In fact, it is "some act." With an ordinary deck of playing cards Claude Golden will give an exhibition ex-hibition of rapid calculation and trickery demanding wonderful memory and uncommon dexterity. Golden is a comedian as well as a card king. A novelty is the really fine aggregation aggrega-tion of trained dogs which will be shown by Meehan. A score of dogs of manv breeds and sizes will perform all sorts of clever acrobatic tricks, their programme concluding with an exhibition exhibi-tion of leaping bv half a dozen graceful grace-ful hounds, which is somewhat sensational. sensa-tional. Jean Ward and Billy Cullen have a clear, breezy act which they have called "A Polite Pianosonoloue, " into which, they have crowded enough snappy eonga, brisk dialogue and sparkling wit to make their act one of the conspicuously bright spots on a conspicuously gtiod bill. The Eugene Trio on a bar or two will offer a laugh or two with a feat or two. The Orpheum Travel Weekly will include in-clude scenes from the old world. Gertrude Hoffman and revue of fifty people will headline the bill Christmne week, and notwithstanding the immensity im-mensity of the act, there will be no advance in prices. Seats are now on sale for the entire week. |
