The Aurora Borer lis
The exclusive rights to the stage use
have been secured by Al. G. Field, and
tlhe spectacle can only be seen in con
nection with his minstrel show at the
Majestic this evening. The scenery
and effects employed in displaying tdiis
novelty are of the most elaborate and
expensive kind, and the combined re
sults are among the sensational sur
prises of the year. Iu starting work.
Herr Kliegel had no detailed scientific
analysis of the real Aurora Borealis
upon which to base his experiments.
Even to-day the scientists have not
fathomed the actual processes by which
the real Aurora Borealis is produced.
They are all agreed that it is caused
by some kind of an electrical discharge
in the atmosphere. This in turn is
brought about by a magnetic influence
emanating from the sun. When the
ptrtides of the earth's atmosphere arc
thus charged magnetically the electro
lyzation causes such an arrangement of
tlhe light rays that many of the spec
trum colors are visible. Thus it is that
the crimson and gold, apple green, sea
blue, violet, purple haze, mellow yellow
and azure blue form the magnificent
color arch, or band, or corona, or cur
tain, that is known as the Aurora
Borealis. Adv.*
"French Models"
The French Models Company will be
the burlesque attraction at the Majes

an entirely new two-act burlesque-mu
sical comedy, "In Wronk" and "The

wit'h a burlesque show, as everyoody
j recognizes, is girls. The producers j
j claim for their chorus tliht it is the
youngest and the greitest-looking, sing
ing and dancing chorus now in bur-
I lesque. Frank Burt and Hughie Ber

I dians anil dancers, anil iMnbel Leslie,
the stately prima donna, as well as

j are so distinctly American and so gen

these artists has appeared on a local

time, we are promised a laughing sen
sation in the presence of Flo Irwin and
her clever company at the Orpheum
\ this week. Miss lrwin will, of course,
capture the headline honors of the bill.
I but there are three other acts to be j
j presented by long ago favorites, who are !
I sure to have just as much drawing pow- j
i er as the initial appearance of the ir- j
I resistible Miss Irwin. So, taken as a|
j whole, the combination for the popular j
theatre this week looks pretty promis
| ing. Flo Irwin will have the assistance !
I of a capable cast in presenting her sue- j
j cessftil comedy vehicle called "The
i! Lady of the Press,'' from the pen of
I Kdgar Allen Woolf. Old favorites of j
j the bill will be our winsome Xonette.
; the "Gypsy Violiniste."
We liked her so much when she was
here before that she was returned the
i nex't season and then we attended a
tea for her at a stage reception. Then
Nonette went, abroad, but the war or
something else was kind enough to send
her home. Then there are the Courtney
Sisters, 'nuf sed. They have an en
tirely new repertoire of songs and,
i comedy and tlhey will undoubtedly be
as popular as ever. Also the Keatons,
with "Buster," are coming back.
"Buster" is said to have grown to be
quite a boy now, but is as mischievous
' as ever. Father still says "he's got
to behave" and their famous slap-stick
comedy is the result. Adv.*
