Show www ORPHEUM THEATRE. Delightful as has been the past week's great vaudeville show at the Orphcum, there is prospect of a bill this week which will more than equal it, with its many novelties and surprises. sur-prises. The following is the week's offering: offer-ing: "A Night with the Poets." a feature entitled to stellar honors on the bill, which has b u declared to be the most artistic and beautiful arrangement ar-rangement of literary and scenic features fea-tures yet seen on the vaudeville stage. The performance includes the rendition by a skilled reader of the poems of James Whitcomb Ril-.y, Ril-.y, and other writers. The famous Hoosier poet is impersonated with rare skill and by the use of special scenery and lights with other effects the audience is given a glimpse apparently ap-parently into the library of the poetj so that all the charm which might be' expected to result from intinnte contact con-tact with the poet in his own home is enjoyed by the audience. MaJii & Bart next o . the pro-P'-'ni appear to have created quite a fi.rore i. the -audcville theatres of t..e East They present a comedy gymnastic act that is novel, original clever and extremely funny. Then by way of variety we have Homer B. Mason and Marguerite Kcelcr in a one act comedy sketch 4fr "Hooked by Crook" but this does not convey even the slinghcst idea of the fun and real mirth in store for the onlookers. Then the European act of the Christie Duo, Anglo-Russfan danc ers, who have a variety of terpsichor- can feats. Their stage work is quite s different from the ordinary dancing of American performers and will be a striking feature. Elmer, Tcnlcy, The Manhattan , Man, will entertain the audience with V his abilities as a Monologist. Last but not Least arc Les Aubin Lconcl, a recent Orphcum importation importa-tion from France where they were quite a sensation at the Folic Bcr-gerc, Bcr-gerc, Paris. They arc eccentric du-ettists du-ettists and their performance is described des-cribed as chic, clever diverting. These acts with the ever popular Kinodrome and Prof. Wcihc's orchestra or-chestra complete the bill. |
