Show A Variety bill to suit the most exacting ex-acting of vaudeville devotees is on at the Orphcum this week, and indications indica-tions arc that the crowded houses of two weeks ago will again be the rule at our popular Orphcum Theatre. The program opens with a farcial Scream entitled, "Prof. Hoodoo," which is calculated to drive away the worst case of blues and dull care; the team giving this sketch is Canficld & Carlcton, who have won applause from the most critical of vaudeville lovers all over the country. The second number is by Mullen & Carclli, who arc acrobats ranking at the very top in their line; besides this, realizing that a good hearty laugh is the best tonic in the world, their witticisms wit-ticisms and humorous peculiarities arc more than worth .while hearing. "The Arlington Four" better known as the singing and dancing messenger boys, present a very good number consisting of expert dancing and superb su-perb singing, each of them being an artistic singer of "the songs that take." One of the latest acquisitions to vaudeville is Beth Stone, who presents her specialty of Toe Dancing in a way that is cxcrcmcly charming; she is a whirlwind on her toes, and formerly for-merly played a leading part in "The Little Cherub Co." where she won great favor everywhere she was seen. The next number is a tribute to the wonderful patience of man and beast. America's appetite for the novel in stage land is more than gratified by Captain Webb and his marvelous Troupe of Performing Seals, which have been trained to use their slippery slip-pery flippers in a way which only skilled hands and feet could duplicate; among their tricks may be mentioned playing musical instruments, catching and throwing a ball, drilling, singing (songs of the sea). In concert they compose the "only seal-skin band in the world." This excellent bill is greatly enhanced en-hanced by Prof. Weihc's Orchctra. and closes with new pictures .on the Kinodrome. o |
