Old favorites also occupy Im i portant positions on this bill. In fact lit is about three or four, maybe live ! seasons, since they were at the Or ; plieum, but it is a pretty safe bet that | they will soon be recalled after they appear before the audiences. One of I them is pretty Josephine Davis, who, I after a tour of the world, appears at I the Orpheum once more with a budget |of tuneful ballads. The other is Kmmet | DeVoy. who is an actor of considerable ! reputation, and who, with his charming partner, Hermolne Shone, headlined the Orpheum offering about five years ago. They return this week in a clever sketch, entirely new In theme, and en titled "His Wife's Mother." Derkln's Animal novelty .that is a veritable scream, called "A Busy Day In Dog ville," will appear as a special treat for the children, although there are rea sons to believe that it will please chil dren of all ages as well. Santa Claus, with gifts for the children, will appear at the Omheum each afternoon next week up until Christmas Day.—Adver tisement.

Some excellent attractions are lmaded for the Busy Corner during Christmas week.—Advertisement. AIiICE! JOYCE.
