DEALERS IN ALL* PRINCIPAL CITIES snd Rellly and Wood's "Big Show," produced spasmodic outbursts that seemed to shake tbe very walls of the theatre. They recognised in Pat a comedian after their own hearts. The wel- come they extended him would have excited the envy of a monarch. Hardly Icsb popular were Virginia and Maryland Tyson. OKPHEl'M (Martin Heck. gen. mgr. Monday re- hearsal 1).—The Orphcum opened on Monday. The house bore a spick and span appearance. Eight hundred new leather chairs have been installed. Occupying the premier position are Felice Morris snd Co., in "The Old. Old Story," a playlet by Francis Wilson, and staged by Frank Relcbner. In tbe snpporting company arc Charles C. Silk snd Russell Passett. The Laytons style their con- tortion specialty "In tbe Realm of tbe Alli- gator." CJastnn and Green and Lavlne and Leon- ard are local favorites. Ilissett and Scott danced their way into favor. Les Cadets de Qascogoe (New Acts); Nonette sings snd plays the violin. The twenty choristers carried make an Imposing array. The numbers have been well Btaged and give evidence of thorough rehearsing. "Patricia Salome." given with the faint semblance of s "wiggle." proved s "knockout." There sre but two olio numbers. The Tyson Sisters In their "Deutscher" s|ieclalty, In which a quantity of "ad libblng" is resorted to, and Johnson, Mar- vella and Mike, the latter a donkey with laughter- producing accomplishments. O. M. SAMUEL. PATERSOH, H. J. EMPIRE (A. M. Bruggemsnn, mgr.; H. J. Bruggemsnn, res. mgr.).—One hundred and seventh week of vaudeville drew goodly numbers.

Pine. res. mgr.).—"The Merry Maidens," featuring Sam Rice, with good support, tbe first three days of the week and made a favorable Impression. Miner's "Americans" held forth the remaining three flays, repeating their success of former visit. Ah this whs the first week of the new policy two shows weekly—the effect on the attendance whs quite noticeable. NOTE. - 11.
