At the Orpheum
One of the best mirth-producing acts
that has been seen at the Orpheum for
, many a long day is entitled "The Pi
ano Movers," being presented by Mc-
Uevitt, Kelly and Lucy thers this week.
The fun that takes place when two
really clever comedians, playing the
part of piano movers, move a piano into
an attractive young actress' apartment,
must be seen to be appreciated. The
piano movers sing a little, dance some,
| but evoke round after round of hearty
j laughter with their antics and rich
i lines. The united efforts cf this clever
j trio are a comedy hit of tne first wa
! tor. A splendid vocal .fter.ug is
| served up by William Bu<r and
Daphne. Hope at the Orph -nn this weel:
i also. Their act is class from the get
j away, being a refined blending o'f love
| songs that one sings to the other.
A beautiful and artistic stage ar
rangement, together with the talents
and culture of the artists, maV - their
turn one of rare merit and beauty.
The Golden Troupe of wonderful Rus
sian dancers, of course, oc-upies the
coveted position of headlirer. The
troupe comprises twelve Russian artists,
singers, dancers and musicians, and
their light and scenic divestment is
quite elaborate. Throughout t'he Or
pheum 's holiday bill is e*_e"eiTt. The
management is announcing ihr'M shows
