I and spectacular musical comedy, in
j which a dozen or more clever youna-
I sters frolic well, it's a celebration
i that, prior to Christmas Kay, can't be
I beaten. Santa Claus is an extra added
I attraction of the Orpheum's current
| offering. The familiar old friend makes
I his appearance each afternoon this
I week, up until Christmas Day, and
I each time he appears lie distributes his
j gifts to the children. Yesterday after-
I noon some several hundred of Harrls

I front the various charitable institutions
j attended the performance as guests of
the management and then at its close
they went upon the stage and receiv ed
a nice gift from Santa Claus' own
hands. It was some treat for the
"kiddies." No girl or boy in Harris
burg should miss seeing Santa Claus as
well as the tine show which was book
ed for the special purpose of pleasing
the Orpheum's little patrons. How
ever, the fact that the Orpheum is cele
brating in favor of the youngsters,
doesn't weaken the statement that it
will please tlie grownups just as well.
Talent, merit and clever variety abound
throughout the bill and the big chil
dren seem to enjoy it all as much as
the little fellows. in announcing
Kitty Gordon as the lieadliner of next
week's bills, the management is bring
