Show ORPHEUM. The bright particular star at the Orpheum this week is Hans Kronold, a cellist in a thousand who is providing such music as has not been heard on the vaudeville stage in this city in years. At every performance he has been recalled again and again and so great is his art that he has held not only those who know music spellbound, but also that class of patrons who would be improved im-proved if their necks were sandpapered. He is a real artist, indeed, and his accompanist, William Wil-liam Parson, is a pianist of exceptional talent. There are other features on the bill that make for general excellence and all in all, it is better than the average. William Egdirette, with his wonderful dogs and horse in their series of poses, has one of the most beautiful acts on the stage. The ''Six American Dancers" are some steppers. Their arrangement of dances is quite novel, beginning be-ginning quietly and ending in a whirlwind finish. The bill opens with Les Salvaggis, Parisian dancers, whose main effort is styled "Butterfly on Rose," though butterfly on old rose would seemingly seem-ingly be more apt. Cleo Gasiogne, who says she is from the Metropolitan Grand Opera company, is a little woman with a big voice, who sings a number of songs made famous by Tetrazzini and Trentini. The comedy of Alexanuer and .Scott, is rather sad, though one of the two is a fairly clever female impersonator oh, you wrist watch! While there is good material in the sketch, "The Last of the Quakers," it is badly played by the entire cast. |
