Last Week of Vaudeville I* Beet Yet—
Laugh With Mr. Dooley and
Marvel at Herrmann.
It may be that the Orpbeum has
saved the best for the ia«t. a wort of
grand farewell of vaudeville for FI
raso. At any rate, this last week that
the Orphenm circuit will be seen here
presents the very cream of bills. To
laugh with Dooley, marvel at Herr-
mann’s' wUardy. and wonder at the
positively human Intelligence of Her-
bert’s dogs. This Is what the Or-
pheum means until next Tuesday
night.
And if the Orpheum has outdone It*
self In the excellence of Its bill, the
people are doing their share to -show
appreciation. It was a capacity house
that sat patiently waiting for the cur-
tain rise last night, and the enjoy-
ment of the evening waa tinged with
a single regret—that this week will
be the last for local theater-goers.
The Kronneman brothers are acro-
bats, as good as the best and unex-
celled. They are comical cusses, too,
and their stunts are full of amuse-
ment.
Eddie Gerard and Jessie Gardiner,
In their farce, “Dooley and the Dia-
mond,” are favorites. ’iDooley" is
in good form, and you must laugh at
the Irish bull, whether or no.
The main stay of Herrmann’s stunt
is the amount of money he finds in
Park Pittman's hat—think of that,,
please—Park Pittman’s. The wizard
even manages to extract a willing
dollar from the crown of Park's era
nium. right out In plain sight, not
even concealed by hirsute appendages.
His other feats are as wonderful,
as they always are. You think how
simple it Is, If you just know how,
but you wonder all the same, and mar-
vel at his skill In breaking eggs to
cook an omelet and producing three
chickens, in borrowing a watch that
later mysteriously appears in the
smallest of a series of boxes, one in
the other, and tied around the neck
of a cat; In the'many others that you
had probably seen before, but that
will always be a source of amusement.
Press Eldridge'in black face made
his hit when he declared that King
Solomon was the wisest man in the
world; he had three hundred wives.
"And no wonder It was th*t he. was
wise with that many good scouts to
bring him all the happenings.” He
sings a pathetic little ballad about a
man without a woman being worse
than a ship without a sail, and several
other withouts that mean disaster.
And Herbert's little dog that must
think. He Is a small sort of a chap,
as tlnv and bright eyed as any dog
in the world, almost. He does a gen-
uine loop the loop without any arti-
ficial aid. and he likes his stunt so
well that! he keeps It up for a number
of repetitions, after the audience calls
for him. Herbert's dogs are canine
wonders. If you don’t believe they
think, go and see for yourself.
The last week of Orpheum vaude-
ville—and the best. If you don’t see
It now there will not be another op-
portunity soon.

MAIL ORDERS PROMPTLY ATTENDED TO
Black Crook Matinee Saturday.
It seems like a greeting to an old
friend to note that “The Black Crook"
is to be revived at the Crawford next
Saturday and Sunday. The present
production is under the management
of Messrs, Miller and Plohn, aud is
said to be a strictly up-to-date version
of this extravaganza, which has been
undoubtedly the most popular thing
of the kind ever given in America.
It Is forty years ago that it was first
unfolded to The view of New York
playgoers and it has had many no-
table revivals at seemingly regular
Intervals ever since. A singularly
dramatic story, together with the
music and the spectacular features
that have ever been the strength of
the entertainment Is undoubtedly the
secret of its leasehold on long life. It
Is therefore no reason for surprise to
know of Its revival at this time. It Is
promised that its present managers
have given it a most elaborate set-
ting, one indeed that will far outstrip
that of forty years ago, when “The
Black Crook” was considered the most
wonderful spectacle ever seen In this
country. Strict adherence has not
been held to tradition In the present
case and many novelties have been
introduced. In the first place the old-
time ballet, heavy and cuinhersome.
has given way to the lighter and more
colorful style of stage dancing, as is
to be seen in the modern musical
comedy. Aside from this, too, the
scenes have been somewhat changed,
but the thread of the story has been
retained and not much alteration has
been made in the manuscript of the
version used in the original produc-
tion. There will be a special matinee
on Saturday, at which the prices will
be 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for
children to any part of the house.

STUCK.
A magazine editor of New York
was praising Rudyard Kipling.
“I am glad Kipling got the Nobel
prize,” he said. "It will encourage
him. He is lu a bad way now.
"You know, he is writing scarcely
anything. I thought he was idle, lazy,
and In London last year I took him Jo
task. He said he knew he looked idle,
but In reality he was trying hard to
work, only he was stuck.
"fie said he resembled a man who
made a bet one summer day at the
shore that he could swim out a mile
and a half to a certain buoy. The bet
was accepted, the.man stripped anY
plunged in. His friend retired to the
hotel to watch his progress from the
window.
“From the window with a field glass
the friend saw the swimmer reach
the buoy in due course, draw himself
up ont. of the water and sit down
comfortably, with his legs dangling
over. So far. so good. Evidently ho
was resting, well pleased with his
feat,
“Some minutes passed, and tho
swimmer had not moved. The watch-
er returned to his book. But every
now and then he looked up, and still
the swimmer sat in the same position
on the buoy.
“An hour, two hours went by—still
the swimmer remained. A white, slim '
figure seen against the oncoming dark,
he sat on the buoy's edge, Mb feet
dangled In the sea; he seemed to be
musing. .
"Finally It began to grow quite dark,
and, thoroughly alarmed at last, the
watcher got a boat and a couple of
bargees and rowed out to his friend.
"Out there the mystery was soon
explained. The man was stuck fast
to the buov, which hade been freshly
tarred .that morning.”—Washington
Star.
Plenty of Practice.
“I met your friend Dubley today.”
"Yes?” I haven’t seen him for a
long time. 1 suppose he stutters as
badly as ever?"
“Oh, no! He's quite an adept at
it now.”—Philadelphia Press.
