A real live burglary at the Orpheum theatre, Marcua Loew'g house, sometime during the night, gave the theatre advertising that It would be impossible to procure without the expenditure of thousands of dollars. Burglars thought to be former employees of the house, were caught In the act of ransacking the business office, where Manager V. J. Morris had put $900 but a few hours before. The night watchman caught the marauders In the act and In attempting to hold them got a mighty fine pummeling. The pair of crooks got away. A hunt waa Instituted by the police. Every newspaper la the city carried the story on the first pegs for the entire day, with nothing less than a two-column head. Two of the papers carried the story over on the second day. Newaboya crying their wares on the atreeta made mention of the fact that it was the Orpheum theatre that was robbed. For thouaanda of dollars worth of free adver- tising the burglar got away with about $10 worth of postage atampe and an equal amount In petty caah.

But fifteen cents will be eharged to see the "natural color" films Mort Singer, the produoer, cams down from Chicago Saturday. Hs aocompanlsd his show, "Miss Nobody From Starland." at the Dau- phlne lest week, to Mobile. Mr. Singer stated that his firm will not produce any nsw shows this season, being content with the four money-makers flying the 81nger banner cur- rently. "Miss Nobody From Starland" has not been seen In Nsw York, although this Is ths musical comedy's third season on the road. It Is a clever show, with pretty muslo, really humorous lines and novel sltustlona and should prove a hit In the Metropolis but Singer feels that New Yorkers maintain an antlpathetlo feeling toward productions from ths wast. It mattsrs not how meritorious they are, and emphatically announces that Singer shows will, not be seen there If Singer money Is backing them.

Saturday evening's performance was a benefit affair, the artists realizing $1.10 each, which Insured meals for Sunday. The artists ars sn optimistic bunch. They said they were glad Melssner did not leave with the receipts Saturday night Hsd he done so, they contend they would have been mighty hungry Monday.
