Show I, I Theatres ! I AT THE ORPHEUM. B Charles A. Mason of the team of I Mason and Mason, favorite German comedians in the hayday of character I K farce comedy, is still alive. In fact, J M he is very much alive and still de-Bj de-Bj sires to "measure them r-r-r-round and .. r-r-r-round," which quotation spoken and. repeated last night, In a sketch J he presented at the Orpheum theater K brought him back to local memory K most substantially. In the era reft,- ferred to Mason was a big favorite in Ogden and the laughter he evoked l . last night Indicated that he Is as good i M as ever. The sketch In which he Is L 1 featured is called "Who Is Who and 1- the plot is written around twin broth-I broth-I '- ers, acted by one star and Mark SulH-I SulH-I van. It Is a merry mix-up, but could - I be improved by shortening. I Five other pleasing acts are to the 1 Pahtages program that opened yester-11 yester-11 day at the Orpheum yesterday for the ttj week's engagement.
