HKADKD l.y Laura Nelson Hall ami featuring Ivlnardo ami Elisa C.'an'ino, the Orphicum bill, whi.-li this afternoon appears for the first -how of its week's run, gives every indication of its being one of those best of programmes, which makes of every patron a hearty advocator advo-cator that none should miss it. Laura Xelson Hall, formerly of the legitimate stasre. has now allied herself her-self with vaudeville. There are two very good reasons why Miss Hall should appear in theaters. Line is her appearance appear-ance and the other is her ability. She is generally conceded to be one of the handsomest women on the stage and her past performances speak enthusiastically enthusiastical-ly of her bistriouie art. Only recently she played the title role in Henry W. Savage's allegory. ' Every woman, 1 ' one of the most difficult parts that an actress has ever undertaken, and which she interpreted so master!" ully that the I day owes much of its success to her. Her merits have been well tempered in the theatrical cauldron, she having appeared ap-peared prominently in many of the theater's the-ater's principal hits, including "The Three of Us," "Girls." "The Easiest Way." "Her Own Way." "The Sins of Society," "Tiie children of "Destiny." "Des-tiny." "The Lone Hand " and "Salvation "Salva-tion Xell." Her last ai-pearam-e on the legitimate stage was in the leading part of "The Poor Little Rich Garl." j Now. in vaudeville. Mi.-s Hall will f appear in a one act play entitled I "lVmi Tasse, " iu which 'he has the ' support of some exceedingly capable j players.

The Orpheum concert will feature a long medley of the latest popular airs. ' CALL it spiritualism, me-merism, mechanism or rheumatism, " says Carter, "the mysterious,'' who headlines the Pantages bill this week, and still wilt the average aver-age playgoer be unable to solve even the slightest portion of the amazing repertoire of illusions and tricks practiced prac-ticed by this magician, whose name is famous on two continents. Carter heads the Pantages bill with a new series of magical illusions, and his second appearance on the programme pro-gramme is announced under the title of "The Lion's Bride." in which a ferocious fero-cious forest-bred lion is mysteriously used. This is a pantomime in which two dancers, doing it the oriental way, appear. One of these rebuffs the advances ad-vances of the monarch, and is therefore there-fore thtown into the case with the lion, which. is a real lion and paces his cage and roars iu a way that leaves little doubt as to the genuineness of his ferocity. fe-rocity. Twice the iadv escapes from the cage and twice the despot returns iust in time and has her cast back-again back-again wirh the hungry beast. At last the lion leaps upon her breast as a revolver re-volver shot villus out. the weapon being held bv the other dancer. Instantly there is a change in the lion's cage that is thoroughly mvstifying, for in a trice instead of the lion, there appears Carter Car-ter himself. A moment later the illusion illu-sion is switched aud the lion is right where he was before, held fa-t by the iron bars of his cage. It is one of tiie Iiri-jhtest and most unusual bill- Pantages has offered iu i weess.
