VaudeviUe Editor Orpheum The sensation of the week's bill is Gennaro and his Venetian Gondolier Band. Gennaro was advertised as the eccentric conductor and he fulfills all expectations. He is the finest exponent of delsarte the local stage has housed for some time, and with all of his acrobatic foot and arm work, which is the very essence of grace, he seems to have a complete control over his musicians, who play with splendid and entertaining results. The band is one that San Francisco can appreciate without reservation. Gracie Emmett and her company have a very humorous sketch, in which Miss Emmett impersonates a keen-witted and voluble Irish woman of humorous and sympathetic tendencies in a manner that gains her the unreserved friendship of her audience. Madame Renz presents her trained horses in various interesting lines of work. The Jupiter Bros., illusionists, dressed as cowboys, have a most mystifying turn. The holdovers consist of several acts that achieved great success last week — namely, "Gen." Edward La Vine, The Saytons, Belle Hathaway's trained simians and the Cadets de Gascogne. The moving pictures are up to the usual high standard. National Everything goes well at the National this week, with Welch, Francis and their three girls in one of the liveliest of farce and musical comedies and a great hit; J. C. Nugent and Mrs. Nugent in A Soldier's Return, a sterling little play with touches of humor and pathos; Louis Cheva'ier and companay, in. A Lucky Liar, getting out of a night off escapade ; Mile. Thco, the best of vaudeville dancers, with her light-footed companions ; the dashing English Belles in ballet diversions; ■AH, Hunter and Ali, comic acrobats; Frank M. Clark, versatile monologist; Sakata, Japanese juggler, and pictures. Manager Sid Grauman has another great bill for Sunday afternoon, including La Loie Helene, the dashing Salome dancer; Rowland, West and company in The Criminal ; the Abdallah Troupe, Arabian acrobats; Mozarto, the instrumental man; Loughlin's Aerial Dogs, entertainers ; Fred and Bess Lucier, in Rustic Romeo ; Grace Leonard, character impersonator. Wigwam This week the Mission theatre has Geo. A. Street's spectacular creation, The Battlefields of the World; Armstrong and Davis, in The Amateur Chauffeur; Charles Kendall and company, a funny mystery act ; turns by Murray K. Hill and company; McGlinn Brothers ; Dora Ronco ; Unthan ; Australian singing trio. The new bill for Sunday afternoon introduces to the Wigwam's patrons Mrs. Jules Levy and family, musical concert ; J. K. Emmet company, in A South Dakota Divorce ; Fred V. Bowers and company, in the musical comedy of College Days, with seven people in the cast ; Ezier and Webb, lively entertainers; Tom Moore, the popular monologist ; Willie Hale and company, accomplished jugglers. The way to get seats at the Wigwam is to secure them in advance or go early in the evening. Empire The winning turns at the Empire this week are the Grand Opera Trio, the original one, in their great rendition of the prison scene from Faust; the Russian violinist, Norbert Sinai, formerly a University of Warsar cadet, who both won numerous recalls from delighted audiences, and the Empire Buty Korus, a new organization of eight very clever girls, headed by Frieda Guy, . the premier dancer, who met with great favor, and Esco Ives, also, with his fine baritone in Good-by, Sweetheart, was also in the popular swim, dishing, Merril and company furnish the piece; John F. Clarke, funny comedy ; Kelly and Parks, a catchy farce, and the three lleumans advertised a bicycle manufacturer in their bicycle act. Sunday afternoon's bill, not fully arranged yet, will have some notable features in it. Hereafter the new bills at the Empire and at all the houses on the circuit will open on Sunday.
