Vaudeville House .
"The Midnight Rolickers" feature
the Majestic bill for the first half of
tin wpk and have one of the most
pleasing offerings listed in vaudeville.
A company of eight persons, filled
with dash and spirit, give a clever ex
hibition of dancing, and have some
instrumental numbers which could be
used to prove that there is harmony
ir. noise. The applause of the audience
was deserved.
Joe and Vera White start with nov
elty tumbles and comedy, furnishing
dozens of laughs. Martha Hamilton
and Company, in "Oh, You Women,"
have an unusually good sketch, which
was certainly written to make smiles.
Joe Browning has the one original
offering on the bill. His "Timely Ser
mon" and songs brou. ht a largo share
of the applause for him, and kept the
audience in an uproar most of the
time. Baker and Rogers have the
)ft,ual line of wit for their tramp skit.

One of the best treats of the season
to the Jewish'public will be the com

Stock Company troupe of Yiddish
stars from New
York,which will appear at theOrpheum
to-morrow night. The play offered is
the greatest success of Its clnss of the
season, "The Price of Sin," a play
amusing and pleasing with lots of
singing and dancing, produced with
special scenery and electrical effects
The company is headed by the popu
lar author-actor, Jacob Shiekowitz,
who is well known throughout the
country. Mr. Stern, the manager,
guarantees that this will "be one of
the best Yiddish companies and plays
ever seen here. The seat sale is now
open.
"So Long Letty," a typical Morosco
farce with music settings, will be the
attraction at the
"So l.ong Letty," Orpheum Theater
Musical Comedy on Friday and
Saturday, mati
nee and night. Complimented with
long runs on both the Pacific and the
Atlantic coast before reaching here,
it will be surprising if it is not greet
ed with the same enthusiasm shown
wherever the play has been presented.
The catchy dialog and humorous
situations are more responsible for
the success of the performance than
the music, which is light, wholly mod
ern and very catchy in spots. The
farce is a burlesque upon trial mar
riage and the affinity idea. Its lesson
is that while a man's own fireside
might at times bore him, in the last
analysis it is "home, sweet home."

Grace Miller, a portly domestic per

Harry, who runs to red neckties and

The Robins and the Milters get an

As usual, the last few minutes

The book for "So Long Letty" was
written by Mr. Morosco, the producer,

Saturday afternoon, she will be the

burg this season, besides being part of
the opsning concert in the Keystone
Concert Course for the current year.
In spite of her apparently Slavic
name, Mme. Leginski is an English
woman, Leginska being an adapta
tion of her real name of Leggins,
made, at the request of those who
governed her action when she first
began professional work, who told
her that she needed a foreign-sound
ing name before the public would be
attracted by her name on the bill
boards. That is all a matter of an
cient history now. because the unique
and dazzling talent which she posses
ses is known to concertgoers every
where. and they go to hear her play
regardless of her name. Those who
witnessed the enthusiasm of her audi
ence at her recital here last year will
remember the great success which her
striking personality and her splendid
playing won for her.
Mme. Leginska is a living illustra
tion of the truth which is recognized
nowadays in international musical
circles, namely, that no matter what
your reputation abroad, you must "be

the United States and expect Ameri

But she found that when she arrived
in America, no credit attached to
these things. She had to start in and

had been the veriest novice. How well
she succeeded is shown by the fact
that when she arrived here four years
