Show THE CITIZEN 8 With the First Night ers FUNMONGERS TOPLINE FLASHY, HILARIOUS ORPHEUM PROGRAM. ble treat in stage necromancy, quite unique and, perhaps, a bit startling. Such shows spread. Orpheum fame. ' There is a strange appeal to the bill this week. It is new and old and then new again. It makes the prudes swell with pride and it gives the old maids and the lonesome batches a grand chance to note what they are coming to unless they change their habits. It is a hilarious inimitaall the with the program way ble Rae Samuels in the lime light and the A1 K. Hall quartette of fun makers trailing along a close second. In fact Rae Samuels, she of the Blue Streak proclivities, may be said to barely nose out the Hall aggregation. And at that Miss Rae steps some in her song and chatter seance. She has a new whirl-a-giturn, some of it learned on a trip to Europe, where she evidently got stung, from the way in which she describes the journey. Miss Rae is just as pleasant to look at as she ever was and this season she is sporting a brand new radio gown not of course not you cawnt an see clean through the thing, at all; but you can catch the brilliant rays of the ensemble when Miss Samuels has the lights all turned off at one time. This stunt happened after she had received so many curtain calls and encores that she didn't know what else to pull. It went over large. The old maids were delighted and the old batches were most awfully expectant. Well, anyhow, A1 K. Hall is the premier burlesquer of 'em all. All has three or four styles all his own and they are styles that but few can imitate. Al. K. has a lady partner who lives clear up to, and perhaps a little beyond Als reputation. In the dance act pulled by the fair stage Diana and The Sap the feminine almost backs Al K. off the front porch for style and figure. Better see it its a scream! are rest of the foursome The good talkers and the man is a fine singer. The Hall stunt amounts to one of the cleverest comedy surprises heaped on unsuspecting Salt Lake fans this PANTAGES IS FEATURING HEADLINER COMEDY BILL. Or-pheu- m rip-roarin- - g, g X-ra- y; season. The Plum Cake of Vaudeville, for which William Sully and Genevieve Houghton are responsible, is a revelation. The boy is a fine dancer and a swift talker, with the percentage on the dancing end; while the girl is a and is so womanly that she is willing to put up the r fine to buy the marriage license. Its a winner. The Ramsdells & Deyo do some won. derful toe stepping and other dance gyrations. This is a trio and both girls and the man are each capable of capering on their tip toes. Next comes the reincarnation of the devil himself, and his wife, The Nafgys, who play with fire like it was merely spagetti. They do in fact eat it and the male end natural born song-bir- d two-dolla- of the team sears his tongue with hot carbon sticks, the lit end of a cigar and blows smokeless powder flames. It is weird, bewildering and amazingly thrilling. A light luncheon on alcoholic flames! Just think of it! Feilds Fairy Ford is much of a fun provoking turn. It shows each and every motorist just what happens to him, sometimes, but perhaps in aggravated way. Then comes Mrs. Adelaide Hermann, widow of Hermann The Great, who is quite great in her own right. She does some very clever stuff which is tensely mysterious. She ends her performance by reproducing a barnyard scene, with all 'the trimmings, chickens, ducks, turkeys and guinea hens galore, all taken from a hen house that was shown to be absolutely empty at the start. It amounts to a delecta The a bill funny effect. bined Pantages, this week, is offering filled with good things mainly and delightfully entertaining in This fine vaudeville bill is comwith a tense photoplay drama, featuring John Barrymore in Sir Arthur Conan Doyles master-fictioThe character, Sherlock Holmes. is from William Gillettes adaptation stage play and is a fantastic and interesting detective story worked up into living and moving screen actions. This great picture holds the interest at a dead level; it thrills and the mysterious is always either happening or just about to become a reality. It is a portrayal cf deduction reduced to its cleverest phase of reasoning from the implicit to the explicit. The vaudeville is headlined by Harry Hines, Jate of.Fancheon & Marco, of New York City. Hines stages his stunt with little formality. Hines sells personality and is a natural born n clown who would make good in a desert. He pulls his stuff without the assistance of fancy draperies or fanciful stage settings. It is clean cut and goes over big. Wilfered Dubois is presenting a new bag of tricks. His juggling feats take because they are decidedly different to the natural run. He is particularly adept at juggling coins, placing a half-dollon the toe of his boot and into position as a monocle. tossing it Its rather a flippant way to treat a coin minted by Uncle Sam, but it is sure some nifty trick. The Night Boat, done by Hazel ar Hickey and company, is rather a rollicking affair, and shows, what everybody knows, that men easily become the victims of women. Well, while it is nothing new, it is still a fine turn and 'well acted out. There is an interesting and pleasing song study by Phillip Fein and Florence Tennyson, billed as recent stars of the Sam Carlos and Boston Opera company. They warble melodies and favorite songs from light opera. A scene from The Mikado is featured. Marion Clare is a vocalist of charm and ability. She sings some heavy stuff and also a number of popular selections. Page, Hack & Mack are a trio of gymnasts who have taken the title of their act from the final situation created in their stunt, Wait for the Fin- ish. It is a thrill producer and the finish is well worth waiting for. Joseph R. Wayne at the organ and the orchestra under E. R. Brunswick, help to round out a complete and surprising bill.
