Show II THEATERS AT THE ORPHEUM. The bill at the Orpheum theatre this week la quite a family affair, with a family of players who thoroughly prove themselves capable of making the show one of the best that has been presented this season V The four Marx Brothers, all fin? nlngers and finished comedians, one a clever harpist, and another one oi the best novelty pianists that lias ever played in Ogden, have surrounded themselves with a company of young actors, singers and dancers, almost equally act clever. The eight young ladles of the com nany are really young and as pretty ' ijgw in face and figure as anyone could wish to see They make an excep-. excep-. jj1 tlonaliy fin.- chorus and the poiols: I voice of power, quality and range thai is rarely heard. Paul Yale, who slncB the solo. "Wf I have Much to be Thankful For." has a splendid voice, with the low range Of a basso and the quality of a bari 'one and hia solo was a treat. The other members of the chorus are good character comedians with excellent olees. The first sketch presented by th'j Marx company Is called "Pun in a I HI Skool." and It is fun for every body, from start to finish In addition addi-tion to the comedy, the following mu sical numbers are introduced, "M Country' Tis of Thee, " "Kiss Your Pallor Boy Good Bye." "We Have Much to be Thankful For," " Whoops My Dear,' "Vltsky College Boy,' and Hays of Boys and Girls " Several spe cialty dancing numbers are also in troduced. Their second sketch, "Mr Green's Reception," is presented by Minnie Palmer, and with a charmlnK summer garden setting, shows the company .n a striking contrast to the outlandish character makeups In the first one The young ladies appear even more i harmlngly gowned in some of the latest models and the young men arc all In full dress The old school leacher.

Mr. Stein." with a male quar tet chorus Saba Sheppard as Ger-'rude Ger-'rude Hoffman, sings "On a Beailtl J ul Xlght" with ensemble chorus. 1 Arthur Marx Is featured in seernj aarp selections, both classic and mod rn that show him to be a master 1 jf the instrument Leo Marx and George Lee make un limited fun with a piano and vocal I specialty Mr Marx's command over .he keys Is a revelation- the audience vas loath to let him leave the piano Mr Lee has a tenor voice of unllm U d range and his songs were "put iver" in fine style. In both singing anc dancing, the nsemble was almost perfectly work -d out and added greatly to the sue ess of the piece. The other acts on tho bill were Ed lie Howard, 'The Crazy, Tumhlim Clown." Greve and Green, "A Pag' 'rom Minstrelsy," and the Harris Jrother6 in "A Lesson in Dancing.". Howard is one of the best tumblcro hat has been seen In a long time an', his act proved an excellent opener to 'he bill Greve and Green use a cornet, trom bone, two violins, and a mandolin and rultar, in addition to a good line of "patter" to make their act go and it loes go. The clog dancing of tho Harris brothers bro-thers Is truly startling and they seemed to enjoy It as well as the au ilence. The Gaumont weekly shows another 'ine of educational and interesting pic tures and the orchestra numbers arc excellent. |
