A complete production of a new | Burlesque upon “Ali Baba’ will follow. | The Orpheum. The Orpheum announces three new acts | and several changes by the favorites of week. Among the new people are atie Rooney, who is known as one of the best in her line of work in the countr: She will appear in songs, dances and im personations, including an imitation of | her father, the late Pat Rooney, who in | | la i i | i i | | | | | | | W DE BOE j ATTIE cpyres | the Ingenuity of the mechanical fgrce. his day was the idol of lovers of Celtic comedy. Wills and Loretto will appear in a comedy skit; Mr. Wills in his favorite character, that of a tramp, while the part of the gay Qhantense fits Mlle. Loretto to perfection.” They have a clever sketch replete with ludicrous situations and laughable dialogue. Mile. Loretto intro- duces her songs and dances. Alburtus and Bartram claim the world’s cham- plonship when it comes to club swinging. They were here two years ago and made a great success, and they have a more sensational act now than when here be- fore. Ezra Kendall promises an entirely new line of comedy. As a humorist he excels. This week he will talk on a num- ber of local subjects. Retained from last week's are Al Leach and the Three Rosebuds, who begin the last week of their engagement. Harry Allister in his impersonations, the Musical Johnstons, in new selections on the xylophone, the La- mont family, acrobats, and Leonidas and his troupe of trained cats and dogs. Mat- inees Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Morosco’s Grand Opzra House “The Cotton King"” is next week’s play at Morosco’s. George P. Webster, who starred at this house last week, will play Shillinglaw, while the leading role will be given to another newcomer, H. Perey Meldon. who will direct future produc- tions at the big opera house, besides play- ing in the stock. Meldon has an excellent Eastern reputation, a good stage appear- ance, and possesses a magnetic personal- ity that will soon make him a favorite with the audiences. The plot of the play is an interesting one, replete with strik- ing and exciting incidents, the comedy element is clever and amusing, and the scenic features of the order that calls for A strong scene shows the machinery .and busy operatives of the huge cotton mills in action. When the noon hour arrives the whirring and busy looms stop. Other scenes are replete with interest, as those who saw the production at the Columbia will doubtless remember. The Alcazar. The second and last week of “The Mas- ter of Ceremonies begins to-morrow evening at the Alcazar. Lewis Morrison plays the role of Stuart Dansville, and Miss Florence Roberts is a pretty and talented second. The stage picture in the third act in the ace of Lord Car- voro is the handsome: setting so far presented at the Alcazar. After “The Master of Ceremonie A Celebrated Case” will be revived. The piece is most familiar to the majority of the theater people of the country. The circumstances which develop the plot and make up the very interesting story are drawn from scenes and incidents surrounding the lives of the soldiers of the ‘“King’s Own Army’" and their families. Mr. Morrison created the role of the Count de Mornay when Celebrated Case” first became popular. The Chutes. At the Chutes they have what might sincerely be described as a “monster at- raction’ this week. Henri Maurice Can- on, the “Grétest Gun on Earth,” as the ‘press agent calls him, will make his first appearance this afternoon. Mr. Cannon is & native of Zurich, 48 years of age, 5 feet 10% inches in height, and un- assumingly carries around 613 pounds of excess baggage in the form of fat. He is the largest man who ever came to Ameri- ca, and has just created a great sensa- tion in New York. This is the second city in America that he has crowded his way nto. = In the theater, besides some of last week's performers, Bovino and Marzella, acrobats and contortionists, will maka their first appearance in San Francisco. Uno, a sleight- a new attraction, A animatoscope hows a number of camp scenes at Bay District track. The—Olgmpia. The blograph, with its thrilling war scenes, is still the feature of the Olym- pia Music Hall, and with the new scenes each week it would appear as though this attraction might be kept on indefi- nitely. This week's pictures include the cruiser Brooklyn, the flagsnip of the fly- ing squadron; Troop A, New York’s crack cavalry company going into camp; camp scenes at Tampa and Chickamauga, and a number of other war scenes. The olio of specialties includes songs, dances, nov- glties and acrobatic feats.’ Matince to- ay. RED CROSS BENEFIT AT THE PRESS CLUB.
