MAN ROBERTSON, i GOOD HUNTING IS NOW FORECAST l)r. KtUbfus Says Indications Are Ripe For Excellent Sport This Fall Reports coming to the office of the Stute Game Commission are gen : erally favorable to a good hunting season 'his fait and the start of the small game season on October 21 Is expected to tlnd pheasants generally I plentiful In districts where they have , been fared for and good quail shoot ing tn the southern counties. Most of the quail shooting will he tn the counties east of the mountains. The hear season, which opens on October 15. will afford good sport tn northern counties as bruin has been busy with hives tn certain districts. "Prom all I have heard there will he more wild turkeys than usual and squirrels are approaching the nui sance stage," said Dr. Joseph Kalb fus,State Game Commissioner In talk ing about tho prospects. "Where quail have been fed over the lust winter there will be some hunting The gray squirrels have been bother ing farmers tn many sections and there ts some agitation for a change In the season so that they can lie shot before they do damage to corn .Inst as there ts a movement on for an oarltof season for blackbirds, which have been very numerous and quite destruction tn some counties. I hear of plenty of rabbits and the usual reports on hear and deer." Dr. Katbfus said that he was con fident that next fall there wtlf hel MM grouse hunting. "Bvcty county hut two arc closed now and the re ports generally say that this was aj good hatching season and that ihoi birds are looking wett. With an- ] oilier good hatching summer next year we should have some grouse I ONE OF THE SCENES FROM THE "LAUGH A MINUTE FARCE," THE NAUGHTY WIFE" ———>NS——NtCMffiWW! New n-N -so- -.vex-.aba-wetM.Nt-.xwvs\N - v -sv-sva- There are many ways of making people laugn in the theater, but none quite so effective as to cleverly build up sit nut ions that are, by their very nature screamingly funny. It is said no better example of .lust how well this may be done is to he found anywhere than In "The Naughty Wife," tho farce by Fred Jackson, which Selvvyn and Company present at the Orpheum Theater on-Wednesday for a matinee and night only. The cast ts said to Include some of the best-known farceurs on tile stage, among whom may be mentioned Reeva Greenwood. Belle P'Arey, Frederick Sumner, Gaston Bell, Henry Keen, Emile Collins and several others. _ next fall" said he- "We would have liked to buy grouse to help along tm good work, but In Canada where we tried to buy we found them dtspos- ed. to hold on to what they had." Issuance of hunters' licenses has] been keeping up at a rate which has caused sonic surprise here. The re ports of counties all indicate that there have been hundreds sold and in southern counties men have been taking out licenses unusually early. From "Peter Pan" to "Oh Boy" Do you remember the little house that Wendy built and the little chil dren dancing all around in their cute little pajamas, while Maude Adams acted the fairy, "Peter Pan," In tho play, about ten years ago? If you do, you may remember that one of the cutest of the "kiddies" was a brunette with long ringlets of hair and a wonderful complexion. That cute "kiddie" who played all throught "Peter Pan" with Miss Ad ams was none other than the volatile and effervescent Anna Whpaton, who sings and dances through the two acts of "Oh, Boy," which conies to the Orpheum. And what has Miss Wheaton been doing since she helped Wendy build the house in the forest of Peter Pan and when she ran from the pirates, when Captain Hook came to capture tlie children? Miss Wheaton has been acting continuously with more or less success on tour and great success In "Oh, Boy," at the Princess thea ter, New York. While she has been developing in her stage art and had even played in musical comedy in a small role, it was not until she flash ed upon Broadway in "Oh, Boy," that full recognition was given lier talents and to her marked person ality. "I was born in Savannah, Ga„ said Miss Wheaton recently. "If you would know the story of my young life, It dates back to the stately Southern mansion, as the novelist would say, with thousands of slaves laboring in the cotton fields, and a proud old grandfather with white hair, whose plantation was the pride and joy of the countryside for miles around. Before 1 was born, my grandfather, Col. Augustus Wheaton, was mayor of Savannah. Me served with distinction In the Confederate army and when the war was over he returned to his plantation and found It practically in ruins, deserted by the slaves, who had been set free, the crops ruined and everything else Just as if it had been utilized by Winston Churchill as the setting for un army novel. "This tragedy, however, affected our family fortune before 1 was bom. When 1 was three years old my mother brought me to New York, tine day, when 1 was ten, 1 was taken behind the scones by a friend who knew Margaret Anglln, then playing at the, Lyceum theater. 1 was Intoxicated with the idea of si stage career, and Miss Anglin agreed to let me go on as the child in the play, The Awakening of Helen Ritchie. 1 got sls per week, and Miss Anglin paid my mother's expenses on tour, also. "When I returned to New York! •after this tlrst season, I made up my ntlnd to become a great actress. I heard that Charles FVohman was preparing a production that required a great many children, and so 1 went up to his olticc and sat down in the waiting room. They tried to chase me out a dozen times, but I had the resiliency and the rebound of youth, and they could not feaze me. Finully Mr. Frohntan canto along and 1 caught hold of his coat tails and told hint I wanted to be an ac tress. "As I look back on It now, It took n lot of nerve for a younK girl eleven yours old to grab such u famous manager, but ho laughed and told me to come Into his olttre. Then he engaged me for 'Peter Pap,' and 1 made my appearance as one of the children who hud all kinds of ex periences In that wonderful plax full of Indians and pirates. 1 stayed with 'Peter Pan' for three seasons, and although 'Peter Pan' was a hoy who never grew up, I did. I became so big that I had to get out of the play. Then 1 went Into vaudeville and did some songs and Imitations. Front thero 1 went Into the leading sou liretto role In "The Honeymoon Ex press.' After that came unother pro duction, then a couple of failures, then a season In vaudeville and the next thing 1 knew 1 was engaged for 'Oh, Hoy,' I am glad the how has proved such a wonderful success, because It always Is a great thing for an actress to be identified with a play that Is popular. It means that thousands of people see her and the manager thinks thut she helped to 'put It over.' If I helped to make 'Oh, Hoy' a hit, I am more than delight ed. Mr. I'onitoek asnd Mr. Elliott have already given me a contract for the next three years, so I ought to be a very happy young woman." Miss Wheaton's mother Is her con stant companion and careful chßp eron on all occasions. It Is her dread, like the doting mother of many a stage star, that some admirer will win the heart and hand of her lovely daughter. Miss Wheaton reports, however, that up to date, she has turned down eighty-six proposal!- of marriage and that she Is still heart whole and fancy free. MAJESTIC High Class Vaudeville.

Friday and Saturday—Theda Rura in "A Fool There Was," and "The Last Raid of the Zeppelins." F. Ita.v Confstock and William El liott, producers of a new style of musical comedy successes, "Oh, Hoy" will present their fourth New York Princess Thea ter hit. "Oh. Boy," ut the Orpheum to morrow. "Oh. Boy" is a different sort of presentation, containing a real plot which, of course, is of youth and love. It is not the style which America hus so long chosen to call musical comedy, but u real love story intertwined with tuneful melodies which lit the situations, rather thun detracting from them. The songs reully carry the plot. Song cues are unknown in 'Oh Boy," as they are unnecessary. 1 for the songs themselves form a part I of the motion of the play. Youth, with all its attendant charm and daintiness, forms the keynote. Girls, with all their sweetness and beauty, arc ever in the foreground of the picture. Even the ensemble of lovely girls are well equipped, and the boys are there to carry the story. Never are they called on the stage simply to sing and dance, but are al ways there with a definite purpose, which they carry out. The record-breaking two-year run at the Priueess Theater, New York, as well as the enthusiastic reception of "Oh, Boy," tendered by theatergoers in cities from coast to coast, is suf ficient proof of its tremendous popu larity. To all who remember the laugh sensations "Twin Beds" and "Fair and Warmer," and few, "The indeed, are they, the an ' .\nuuht.v nouncement . that the Wife" same producers will send their latest laugh festi val. "The Naughty Wife," to the Or pheum for an engagement of a mati nee and night performance only on Wednesday, will be hailed with pleas ure by all theatergoers. And when these same producers proclaim their attraction, as a fitting successor to their epochal joy-fests that had such long runs in New York, the conviction grows that none need to go without laughter while this new farce is available. "The Naughty Wife" is that rarity among its kind, a farce with an ideu. ;It concerns the manner in which a husband meets with the situation placed upon him by the possession of a flighty, whimsical wife who is car ried away with the attentions of an other man. She consents to elope with him. and upon the husband learn ing of the prospect, he takes the usual stand of aiding in the elope ment, even so far as to accompany the couple to their haNen to see that they are comfortable. This action brings contretempts that cannot fail to be humorous, and, as treated by the author. Fred Jackson, and by the company playing it. so plentiful are the Incitments to laugh ter that there is a continuous suc cession of laughs from beginning to end. That there are situations most unusual in the farce goes without saying, and these situations are what made of the attraction so substantial a success In New York. Selwyn and Company are bringing an excellent company here, among whom are such well-known farceurs as Iteeva Greenwood, Belle D'Arey, Frederick Sumner, Gaston Bell, Henry Keen and Kmile Collins. George V. Hobart's latest is the musical comedy, "Miss Blue Kyes," which comes to the Orpheum "Miss next Saturday, matinee and niuc night, and is said to excel Eyca" and outdo anything in play writing he ever attempted before. , It is in three acts, and the music Is' composed by Silvio Hein. whose efforts were last heard In "Flo- Flo." The principal characters are two lawyers, who have a lucrative divorce business. The wife and dance are jealous of the co-respondents, for they believe that these Women must necessarily be beguiling, seductive creatures, who not even the cautious lawyers could resist. Frequent visits to the Honeysuckle Inn, a madhouse inn. are made in search of evidence for the co-respondents. The wife and tlance ordered a dinner at the Inn to surprise the husband. What she sees arouses her Jealousy. One complica tion after another lands everyone in iatl. Wooing Is of the more tran sitory, married love the constant, lasting, and to most of us it reaches home. The cast Is headed by the dainty Eva Fallon, who is surrounded by an excellent company of clevbr musical comedy artists, including: William Philbrlck, Clara Maekln, You should be able to make your selection of a Grand Piano from such standard makes as Kncbe Kranich & Bach Hardman Hazelton Brothers Harrington Prices from $650 to SI2OO Yohn Bros..
