ORPHEUM’S OPENING GIVES REALLY GOOD VAUDEVILLE, AND DRAWS BIG CROWD Atlanta Receives New Theater With Pleas ure. ft li hnrd to wiy Juat what plea ami the crowd most nt the o|>eufiig of the Orpbeum M"inlay night—the really good vaudeville, the appearance of the redecorated thea ter. or the tight of bo many friends In the audience. For the performance wua even above expectations, the theater proved a pleasing surprise to Its first vlyltors and the audience was made up of those same theatergoers who are to be found on first nights at the Grand. Atlanta seems to like good vaudeville, to Judge from the applause which greeted every turn on the bill of eight numbers. From the dancing of Hathaway and Siegel, dear through the big stunts of Francella, the strong umn. and then mill! 'the Inst moving picture had given place to “good night, the crowd seemed to enjoy It. There was not a number on the bill which was really a weak one. The little thcater—lt’s not so little, either, for It seats a surprising number—was fill ed from the orchestra to the last rows, and every Imx was occupied by a party, many of the' 1k»x holders being prominent !H»opJe of lbe social set. The house had, been given every finishing touch, and was very attractive in Its dress of old Ivory, gold and white. The orchestra, led by f'barlcn Liley, was In evening dress, and the ushers were clad In snowy white. In the foyer, masses of palms and banana plants gave a cooling appearance, while on the right and left the Turkish smok ing room and the refreshment parlor were filled with a crowd durlug the Intermis sion. Manager lien Kahn, In charge of the‘At lanta house, did the honors nt the entrance, nnd received congratulations smilingly. Mr. Hush, of Weber A Rush, the New York managers, was present for the opening. Eight Good Acts. But the show. Well, If any better vaudeville has l»een seen In Atlanta It had escaped the memory of those who talked over the show on the way home. "If the Orpheum keeps up this standard.' was the verdict, "vaudeville will be a go this winter." Perhaps the greatest hit on the bill was Francella. the strong man, who Joggled canuon balls and marine torpedoes, nnd closed his act hy carrying n 220-pound wom an, seated In a chair, about the singe ill hla teeth. Francella Is about the biggest, brawniest atbleto who has ever visited At lanta. Mr. nnd Mra. Perkins Fisher have a very pretty comedy act, which was per haps a little too quiet In Its humor for a fun-loving, rollicking audience. Kd Gray, the "tall tale teller/* sprang enough Jo^es about Hogan to supply n comic nlmiinnc for ten years, and many of them were very good. Rut Orth and Fern, In their sketch. "Sign That Rook," made one of the hits of the evening. Roth of them are clever ••• medians, especially the one In the red wig, and they received repeated recalls. Bicycling on 8tilts. For what looks like a foolhardy chance of breaking a neck or two. the unlcycle riding of mil. Cherry and Hill !• the limit. They frisk nbout' the stage on a single wheel with a long steel rod on top of It that places the rider In the flics, and a fall would mean trouble, for the fa Hen. It Is something a little beyond the usual, bicycle stunt. The Misses Delmore do some acceptable singing and dancing, and one of them proved herself more than ordinarily clever with several Instrument!. Their costumes ••n their final appearance were among the daintiest seen In vaudeville here. The moving pictures from the klneto- graph made n hit, even to people who are tired of the usual thing In that line. Very few of the audience failed to stay until the last picture was shown. And this Is worth mentioning to those who know the average vaudeville—there was not n line, not a situation, thnt was unclean, suggestive, or offensive to the re- E OF SUICIDE STRIKE BREAKERS President Ahearn Says That Many Telegraphers Have Deserted Companies. 0 0O<KJ00O00<HJ0000O00O<KJOO0O O GOMPEr.S MAKES APPEAL S O FOR FUNDS FOR STRIKERS.
