Show ORPHEUM There are two splendid acts on the Orpheum bill this week, Gerald Griffin & Company in "Other People's Money," a sketch based on Edward Ed-ward Owing Towne's comedy, and the Lorch Family in a most elaborate acrobatic act including includ-ing eleven performers and a collection of live stock. The Griffin farce Is one of the best of the -kind in vaudeville, and the Lorch people are exceptionally ex-ceptionally clever. These two acts, however, practically carry the performance which, while not particularly bad, comprises a numbc. of acts bordering on mediocrity, most of which could be easily spared from the bill. The Mabelle Fonda company open the entertainment with some juggling; Parker, Horsfal and Bianconi have a flute specialty, (so the program says); Fay, two Coleys and Fay are back with a commonplace common-place minstrel act; and Maud Hall Macy and Company in "The Magpie and the Jay" have a one act rural sketch which is something fierce. Beginning tomorrow William Thompson, the character actor, heads the bill in "The Wise Rabbi," by Leo Deitrichstein, author of 'The Concert." With that trade mark on it, it should be an excellent offering. Dan Burke and the Wonder Girls at "Lake Winnipesaukee" are second sec-ond on the list, and the Dandies in a musical melange and burlesque "Our Audiences" follow. Patsy Doyle, the monologist, will also be heard, and Florence Flaxman, heralded as the world's cutest prima donna, will perform. A cute prima donna ought to be a novelty. Wilson and Wilson Wil-son in "The Messenger, the Maid and the Violin," and Wjood Brothers, Irish athletes, are others who will entertain Orpheum crowds. |
