Hj tho site It once occupied Is now In

H Large Operating Department.
H Aside from the large ward and the
H regular service and bathrooms the
Hlrl 'ourth floor Is devoted to private
ooins :d the operalint department.
H' Ilj, operating room and its accom-
v pmylng chaTb?rs occupy the north
' a-ost corner of the fourth floor. From

1 Modern Equipment.
H The equipment of this room is said
1 to be the most ccmpleho possible.
H There 's an rpprating tibS of the lat-
B est model vlth a multitude of ad-
B Justing mcchanl8ms. Th.m, there la
H. j a large vcfscI for sterlllzinf: the uten-
H slh used in the room, in addition to
B a smaller Instrument sterilizer. A
H. large square tank fo" anticeptlc liquor
L rests on a stand and Is sufficient in
Bf- pzc to permit of pbyslcinns and
H nurses emerging their arms Jip to tho
H slioalderG The sink is built in such
Hl marnrv that all valves arc operated
H ,v levers controlled by tho luiccs, It
H 'not lieinc neccssarv for the attend-
ants to touch a lever with their
1 Sterilizing Department.
H Through a door at ;ho .south side of
HIL the operating room access is gained
K 'to the aterllizing department. Like
B) the other Tooms in this department.
Hn the aterllizing departnwnt is con
HK I Btructed v.-lth a careful regard to san
K Jiation. The floor Is of cement, while
Hl the walls arc treated with the hard
H M washable substance of white. The
M equipment of this room Is entirely mc
H chanical. There are two great tanks
H Tor the proper treatment of water
H used during operations and large ste-
i Jlizers for utensils and instruments
H Then, there 1 -jl cylinder-shaped re
H ceptaclc provided with an air-tight
HHB floor, in this device the bandages
Htn'3her iaterial8 ,,sed In tt,e op"
H crating room arc sterilized by moans
Hl si earn.
H Adjoining the sterilizing room on
H the south, hut not accessablo from the
H former arartment, is the supply room
H lor tho operating departmonL It Is
H Eteel-llned and the lockers contain a
H full supply of medical puraphernalla,
H from tbe smallest bandages to costly
H Instruments. Beyond this room is a
V Btoreroom, where the clothing worn
H "by patients when they enter the hos
H ' jiltal is placed after it lias undorgonu
H n sterilizing treatment. This com-
H prises the apartments directly con-
B nocted with the operating room and
H completes tbe consideration of the
H fourth floor
H Careful Attention to Every Detail.
B Tt would require a large volume to
B dcscrlbo in detail the big building, but
H a general resume of the interior will
Hl show the careful attention which has
H been given to the construction of this
H beautiful hospital.
H The walls of the corridors are cov-
Hl cred with what It; known aB a sand
H finish, while the walls and ceilings of
B D'1 Private rooms are beautifully Unt-
H cd in a variety of soothing shades.
Mfl All doors are wide enough to pormit
H) of tho regulation hospital bed being
B or out of the rooms. Tho bed,
H being equipped with the latest pat-
Hl cntod glass caster, may be moved
H along tile corridor to the elevator and
H placed on board tho life.
H Furnishings of Private Rooms.
Hi The furnishings of the " private
H rooms vary with the floors. Each
H room contains. In addition to the hos-
B ipltal bed and stand, a drester, rocking
B chair, regulation chair an( rug. while
H on tho wpmcn'R floor this equipment
L la increased with a footstool and ex-
Bl)
tra vivs, and upholstered furniture.
With tne excoption of one room on
tho third floor, nil h.mliuro other
than the regulation hospital equip
ment, Is of walnut, while the one re
maining room has furniture of brids
cyo maple The predominating wood
of the furniture on the fourth floor Is
quarter-sawed oak. Practically all of
the private rooms and some of tho
wards were furnished by, charitably
inclined Individuals and societies of
this city.
Throughout the building the equip
ment is of standard Presbyterian hos
pital design. The beds, which are
light, but none the less subsstantial,
are bight and there is n supply of
private nurses' cots, which can be
placed under the patient's bed when
not in use.
The Signal System.
The sigual GyHleiu. by which a pa
tient Is enabled to call u nurso to his
or her room Is said to be most slmplo
and at the same time most efflclont.
It consists of a series of electric
lights with small red globes, tho llRht
being fixed in the celling of tho main
corridors in front of each door. By
operating the push button at tho head
of the bed tho Hg'it over tho door in
dicates the loom from which the call
comes and another light In the contar
of the corridor Indicates tho floor
from which the call oomes. Tho head
nurse is also Informed by moans of a
series of lights on which floor a nurso
is wanted. Thero is not tho slightest
noise to disturb tho other patients.
With the samo view in mind tho
steam radiators ar0 oaulppcd with u
special arrangement which provonts
any noise from steam or water In tho
pipes. It Is also a uotab'o foaturo
that tho radiators rest on Iron brack
ets extending from the walla Instead
of stands resting on the floors This
prevents the collection of dirt and Im
purities around the legs of the stands.
In connection with th signal system
there Is a private telephone aystem.
with stations In every department and
in every corridor.
The Service Rooms.
Tho service rooms on each of the
four floors aro equipped with every
convenience There are largo slop
basins, washstands, a tub, where bed
linen is antlseptlcally treated before
It Is removed to tho laundry and a
largo socket for utensils of various
kinds. Thero Is also a clothes locker
on each floor for the storing of gar
ments worn by patients when they en
ter tho hospital.
In each corridor there is a water
plug -with a length of hose attached
and also a sanitary drinking fountain
on each floor. The pipe shaft extend
ing fTom the basement to the roof has
an opening ou each floor. With a
view to minimizing the danger from
firo the doors in all brick walls are
of steel, beautifully stained to corre
spond with the birch doors found
throughout the building. The corridor
doors also swing either way. All
floors are of hardwood, highly polish
ed and oiled. The matting used in the
corridors on tli'o opening day Is not
a permanent furnishing. In addition
to glass of extra strength, the windows
are covered by wire screens, together
with a second heavy wire mesh. Tho
screens arc all locked In place and
cannot be removed by patients.
Porches for Each Floor.
An important and pleasant feature
of the building is the large porches
at the north and south ends of the
buildings. fThls terlcG of open-fllr
platforms extends from the basement
to the fourth floor, and are accessablo
from the ends of tho main corridor3
on every floor. In pleasant weather
these porches will be a retreat for tbo
convalescent patients. The corridors
are well-lighted, there being windows
at each side of the glass doors lead
ing out onto the porches. The flro
escapes form an important adjunct
of the porches at either end of tho
building. By this series of Iron stair
ways it would bo possible to descend
from the roof or any floor of the build
ing to the ground.
Boiler Houbc and Laundry.
A description of this fin institution
would not be complete wltliout a men
tion of the auxiliary building in which
is housed the hentlng apparatus and
laundry This building Is a substan
tial brick structuro located about 200
feet in tho rear of the main building.
Here will be found tho two large boil
ers, which are built and installed by
the Western Boiler & Machine com
pany of this city. Tho operation of
the heating system Is automatic, a
series of pumps which draw the con
densed steam out of the pipes being
automatically set In oporatlon when
the temperature drops to a cortaln
point. The pumps for the prhato
water system are also located In the
boiler room. Thero is a coal locker
of sufficient size to contain a carload
of fuel.
On the second floor of the auxiliary
building is located tho laundry. This
department is equipped with all tho
latest machinery, consisting of a power-driven
washer, centrifugal wringer,
two Manglo ironing machines and a
drying room. The laundry will bo In
charge of an experienced laundryman
and corps of assistants.
The Office ! Rooms.
Tf the right of the lobby Is the
i 7
office and Immediately .it tho rear of1
the superintendent's npartment Is a
private otflco or waiting ntom. A
large arched doorway provides egress
to the waiting room. To tho left of
the main lobby Is a large smoking
loom for men. it has been discov
ered in tho larger and most modern
hospitals that such a room Is very
essential. On this same floor is i
ward conLiining four beds. In addition
to tho regular two-bed ward, of which
there is ono on each floor. Across the
main hall at the south end of the
building aro soveral private rooms,
with the diet kitchen directly over tho
main kitchen on the floor below This
smaller kitchen Is equipped with n
gas range, steam warmiug oven aud
dummy w.iltcr to the main kitchen f
One of the Operating Rooms.
The room to be occupied by the
head nurse 16 also located In this end
of the building near the office and
lobby. The entire portion of the
front section of this floor not taken
up by the office Is devoted to private
rooms for patients. Across the hall
aro dressing, service, bath and store
rooms, and finally, at the extreme
north end or the floor, is the minor
opcrattug room. This secondary op
erating room In the Dee Memorial hos
pltnl is better fitted and in many ways
more complete than the main operat
ing departments of many hospitals of
the country. Situated at tho corner
of tho building, it is well lighted
from the east and north. Tho large
windows are fitted with artistic Flor
entine glass.. With a view to obtain
ing the best sanitation, the floor of
this room is composed Of lead, with
all joints carefully sealed. The walls
are covered with a hard flinty aub
sLance of immaculate while Every
joint and crevice is sealed, and It Is
claimed that were It not for the door
It would be possible to fill tbo room
with water and not a drop would es
cape. The equipment is sufficiently
complete as to make possible opera
tions of a minor nnturc
On this floor and near the operating
department is a dressing room whore
the garments worn by patients may be
exchanged for hospital garb. In this
room are stored bed linen and blan
kets, and there is an Ingenious blanket

warmer enclosed in an air tight cham
ber. Third Floor for Females.
The third floor will be devoted ex
cluslvely to the accommodation of fe
male patients. It contains a larger
number of beds than any other floor.
The ward on this floor contains eight
beds in addition to the two-bed ward.
With the exception of the regular ser
vice room, supply and wardrobe apart
ments, almost the entire floor Is de
voted to private rooms. On this floor
Is the most complete linen supplv of
the entire hospital and the bathroom
i equipped with a "shower."
Male Patients on Fourth Floor.
For several reasons the fourth floor
Is the raobt important of the entire
hospital. Firstly it is for the accom
modation of male patients only, and
secondly, the major operating room is
located on this floor. Here is also
the largest ward of the entire insti
tution, for the one large rooms now
contains twelve beds and more could
be placed in tbe ward without incon
venience. There are a total of twenty-three
beds on the fourth floor.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION.
In the completion of the Thomas D.
Dee Memorial hospital, Ogden .can
boast of an Ideal Institution for the
amelioration of human ills. There
may bo larger hospitals In the west,
but certainly none more complete,
more modern or better equipped.
It is claimed, and in all probability
the claim is not overdiawn. that a
better operating department cannot bo
found in a hosplLil this side of Now
York city. Be this as It may, a glance
at the main operating room, auxiliary
operating room and a silll third de
partment for the treatment of minor
cases, will convince medical man or
layman that thero can surely be noth
ing lacking, neither In the equipment
nor the sanitary' conditions.
Highest Standard of Efficiency.
To a marked degree ovcry other de
partment of the institution, from tho
most unimportant to tire most essen
tial, has been brought to the highest
possible standard of efficiency. Every
minor detail is indicative of tlio care
ful attention exorcised by the com
mission which has had the work in
charge.
Situated at the very base of tho
mountains and In anoutlying and quiet
section of the city, the locatioh of the
hospital is most admlrablo. It is only
a half block north of tho Twenty-fifth
street car line on Harrison avenue,
and is therefore t)asy of access Al
though the grounds aro not yet laid
out or Improved, wide concrete side
walks have been constructed on both
sldoB of the avenue from Twenty-Jlfth
street to the hospital entrance.
Stone steps, which extend almost
tho entire width of the ornamental
front, lead to the main entranco on
the second floor, while a short flight
of steps leads to the bafent or
first floor entranco, dlrectl.vjmder the
main entrance. ThroughoiV this artl-
clo the basomeut, which extends but r.
two or throe feet below the level of ,
tho ground, will be referred to as tbo
first floor, making the hospital build
ing four stories In he'ght
Building's Interior.
To assist In tho description or the
building's Interior It must bo s'atcd
that the general arrangement of coi
ridors artd rooms is the same on each
of the four floors. Covering a ground
space of probably ISO feet by 50 root,
each floor is divided longitudinally by
a wide corridor, extending entlrelv
through tho building from north to
south. In the center of the building
nt tho front of the first and second
floors aro the ontrnnco lobbies, while
at tho rear of the main corridor on
all rour lloors aro the reversed stair
ways leading to tho floor above. From
this It will bo seen that the arrange
ment is most simple and at 'the same
time vcrv adequate The elevator is
located a"t the rront of the longitudinal
corridor, about half-way between the
center and northern end of the build
ing. TH Basement.
For convenience, the first lloor or
basement will be the first section of
the building visited In this descrip
tion. Much of this floor Is taken up
by the kitchen and nurses' quarters.
The latter apartments are so equipped
as to be transformed into patlonts'
quarters in case of necessity. Enter
ing the first lloor at the front en
1 trance, n narrow corridor leads to the
main hallway. At the right or this en
trance are nurses' parlor and dining
rooms, large, well ventilated and well
lighted apartments, the walls of which
aro studded with signal system plugs
for use In case the rooms should be
ever converted into wards for pa
tients. Directly across the main corridor is
the culinary department The kitchen
equipment Is most complete In addi
tion to tho largo range thero is tho
steam table, plate wanner, chopping
block and dish washing apparatus.
The kitchen is easily accessible from
the rear of the building by an outside
door and a short flight of steps. Di
rectly off the kitchen to thp south la
the larse pantry equipped with a huge
Ice chest, In which a vast amount of
stores can be kept. Ice can be de
posited in tho refrigerator chamber
from the outside of the building.
At the right of the basement en
trance at the front of the building is
the X-ray room. This apartment is es
pecially constructed for photographic
work, having no windows or opening
nf any kind other than the door. It
is equipped with the latest model of
X-ray machine and other devices for
the diagnosis of cases by the use of
electricity.
Quarters for Nurses.
Beyond this room arc tho nurses'
quarters. These rooms are fitted up
in much the same manner as the pri
vate rooms on the other lloors, except
tnat they contain two beds. There
aro also rooms of a similar descrip
tion ncrois the main hall, but In addi
tion thereto Is the medical store room,
already stocked with a la'ge supply of
v.oHon, Ic.uugages and other neces
sary hospital equipment. Adjoining
the storeroom is the dressing loom,
where a majority of the patients will
bo taken "upon their entranco to the
hospital. It Is In this room that all
Injuries of a minor nature will bo
dressed before the patient 16 removed
to a ward or room on another floor.
The room contalus a limited surgical
equipment, together with sanitary
compartment! for storing bandages,
c'c.
In connection with this room It may
be stated that all patients will enter
tin- hospital on tnls first floor. A
spec'al platform has been built at the
rear outside entrance The ambu
lance cot will be placed on a wheel
stretcher and rolled down a short In
cline to the level of the basement
floor. The pntient may then be taken
direct to the dressing "room or placed
on board the elevator and removed to
any floor In tho building.
On the Main Floor.
With the exception or the bath and
service rooms, which aro on every
floor and will be mentioned later, this
completes the first lloor. and by means
or a narrow lllght of stops at tho side
of the slide or by ascending the main
entrance stops at the front of tho
building, tho visitor proceeds to the
second and main lloor.
That portion of the structure de
voted to tho main entrance, office and
waiting room, is one of the most well
appointed and beautiful suite of rooms
In tho entire hospital. The walls and
woodwork are beautifully tinted and
unlike any other department, the walls
for a distance of six feet above the
floor have been covered with burlap.
Tho main lobby, extending from tho
rront or the building to the main cor
ridor and separated from tho hallway
by fine are glass paneling and doors,
Is rurnlsbed with several settees and
rockers ior the accommodation ot
visitors. On the south wall or the
lobby Is a large picture of the late
Thomas D. Dee, to whom this great
Institution stands as a monument to
his memory. i

fFIFTV YEARS OF I
BIG HCBEHI
The development nf the railroad la
the most notable achievement In the
nation's history. The world began to
develop when cheap transportation
was provided, and America has cas
H led. Within the half century till
tho great railroads have been bull;
and transportation by rail has been
revolutionized.
Tho advancement and rapid giowlli
of transportation llnea will bo best
appreciated by giving tho total mile
age for the different periods:
In lSHS there wore three miles of
railroads throughout all the country;
In 1S30, 11 miles; in 1810, 2.800 miles;
in lSoO, 0,000 miles; in 1SC0, 9.S00
miles; in 1S70, 50,000 milo3, In 1S89,
82,000 miles. In 1890. 1C3.420 milc3;
In 1900, 194,33-1 miles; In 1910, ap
proximately 210,000 miles.
The Pennsylvania railroad Is not
only the greatest railroad in America,
but In point of traffic and earnings Is
the greatest In the world. The oper
ations of this great system are on
so enormous a scale that wo need a
standard of comparison. It is also one
of the oldest railroads of the United
States, and was originally chartered
in 18-IS. Its main lino, built by tho
state of Pennsylvania, was opened In
lSiil, but operated at a loss until It
was taken over by the preseut com
pany In 1S57. From this tho road has
grown steadily to Its present enorm
ous dimensions, until It now repre
sents the consolidation of 200 smaller
roads.
The road originally consisted of
iron-plated wooden mils, along which
trains rnn "at the marvelous speed of
nine mllos an hour," according to a
writer or the time. The first steam
drawn tralu "daBhed along at the rate
of ten mlley nn hour." Today trains
aro drawn over the rails of this great
system at a speed exceeding seventy
miles an hour.
The opening of the Pennsylvania
station In Xew York, In November,
ranrhed the completion of the greatest
feat in the world's building history.
The great terminal, situated in the
heart of Gotham, cost more than
$100,000,000 Hnlf a million persons
daily pa6s through the station coming
into and leaving New York on 1,150
trains. There are sixteen miles of
track In the station, which means
thirty-two miles oT single rails in the
station itself. In the tunnels there
are sixteen miles more of track.
The tremendous size of the station
can be appreciated by the fact that
12G passenger trains can be unloaded
at the same time. There are twenty
one tracks within tho depot. On each
sldo of each platform It Is possible to
draw up six trains at a time for un
loading purposes, thus abolishing the
usual congestion about a large pas
senger station. The waiting room is
1 10 feet high. 107 foot wide and 4C2
feet long It Is located one level be
low the street. Three million cubic
yards of rock was blasted out to a
depth of sixty-one reet In the center
or New York to make way tor tho
gigantic terminal.
Within twenty years the size or en
gines has been doubled. For soveral
years an American railway has been
running passenger locomotives weigh
ing 270,000 pounds each another rond
is running rreight locomotives weigh
ing 182.000 pounds each. Locomo
tives are increasing in woight and ca
pacity because or Increasing weight
of trains and the greater severity of
conditions which they must meet.
Passenger engines which were con
sidered very large ten yonrs ago arc
now completely outclassed. Thirty
years ago on the best roads where
grades were easy and tlio trucks mod
ern, twenty-flvo cars, each loaded
"with ton tons of freight, were all
that the strongest locomotives could
draw. Now thero are from thirty to
seventy cars of fifty tons apiece to
a train.
The air-brake was Invented by
George Westlnghouse, Jr., in 1869. Ills
first idea was crudo In comparison
with that which is crystalized in the
best air-brake of today. In 1S73 Mr.
Westlnghouse produced the automatic
air-brake. In 1SS7 Mr. Westlnghouse
Invented the quick-action alve to ob
viate the setting of the brakes on tho
forward cars sooner than the brakes
on those which followed The very
high train speeds of recent years led
Mr. Westlnghouse In 1S97 to place on
the market a high-speed brake.
The railroad mileage of the world
Is about 625,000 miles, representing
an estimated cost of $50,000,000,000
Tbe United States has about 210,000

"A STUBBORN CINDERELLA"
Still winning frlonds wherever It
goes, "A Stubborn Cinderella" came
to tho Ogden theater last night for
an engagement consisting of three
performances. And from the rrlend
wlnnlng standpoint Ogdcn was no ex
ception tor the largo audience which
"witnessed the production last night
went away thoroughly pleased and ro
Trcehcd in wind by the exhuborance
or JoyruinoBS which exudes from every
line, from ovcry song rrom tbe very
characters themselves
Messrs. Hough, Adams and Joseph
Howard have touched "A Stubborn
Cinderella" with the magic wand ot
their muHlcal comedy propensities and
tho result has been very' similar to
tne eficct obtained m rno 'rime, me
Place and the Girl," and various oth
er niaBterrul efforts which bear the
trade mark of these gentlemen.
Tho action of the play nclntilates
aloiit a clean, vibrating college story
and for vim and dash nothing can
comrnrc with a college play. From
first curtain to last "A Stubborn Cin
derella' goes with a smash and a
bang. There's not a dull nor unin
teresting moment in 1L It certainly
is never lacking In action.
Principals and chorus work as
though they enjoyed themselves. And
that makes the audience enjoy itself,
for thero Is nothing duller and more
uninteresting than a musical comedy
which drags. Mirth and music g?
hand In hand tor throo acts. It Is but
necessary to state that college boys
and girls have moat of the, .principal
roles and form tho chorus In order to
give a clearIdea of what sort of an
affair is this oxcellcnt production,
which is exceptionally well staged and
costumed.
There Is nothing that could possibly
ofrend the most critical eye peering
out rrom "haldheads row." The
chorus seems to strike a happy me-
'diuni between the wlllowly and
plump. Likewise this chorus lias a
voice, not a mere mumble anil Jumble
of vuund. but n rcnl voire that is
audible and distinct.
It Is good all the way through, but
the third act is probably the besU
Here is seen the orange bnllot and
here la rnndcred that Bong which will
he whistled on tho strcetn for severnl
weeks to come. It Is "When You
First (lviss tbo l,ast Girl You. Love,"
nnd Is rendered in a 'very pleaslug
n'f.hner by Miss Hazel Klrke and the
entire company. It Is the last song
you hca- and the first one you re
member. It was one ol the hits or
tho evening
Miss Kirke's portrayal or Lady Les
lie Is splendid. She has the youth
nnd beauty and can sing as well as
act Her voice is rar above the aver
age. Lillian Goldsmith, the poubrette, Is
a dainty little thing with more voice
than the powers usually allot to a
soubrettc She hu3 some retching
songs in "Cinderella'' and some
dances that ono oould never tire ot
witnessing. As well as being able to
sing and dance well, Miss Goldsmith
enn act and gives a pleasing por
tran of the role of Lois.
B Colt Albert9on as "Mac" Is the
leader of all things In the comedy
line and he assumes tbe role with a
real characteristic collego dash. He
Is on the Job every minute as a laugh
ter producer He looks collegiate and
acts likewise. He sings more than
passably well and dances nicely.
Xcal Burns takes unto himself con
siderable of the attention In the role
or Shccier There Is eomothlng about
BurntJ that reminds ono or George M.
Cohan, by his songs and dances.
IBobble Wagner, Llniord Jefferson,
Dan Movies. Edwin liiirns, Dudley C.
Fosher and Mabel Charlebois are oth
ers cf the strong cast who deserve
individual mention.
"A Stubborn Cinderella" Is said to
be a starless show, but the members
or the company which have been
mentioned above, together with Miss
Hazel Klrke, and others can easily
be designated as co-operative stars.
ir j on like musical comedy, "A
Stubiwrn Cinderella'' cannot fail to
please you. Unless wo are woerully
n.istaken every man, woman or child
thai witnessed the production last
night will corroborate this statement.
There will be a special Now Year's
matinee this arternoon and the brier
engagement will be brought to a close
with the evening performance tonight.
THE ORPHEUM.
The bill at tho Orpheum this week
Is by no means tho best ever otfered
nt tho local vaudeville house. There
are no "lemons" in the souse in which
that term Is popularly applied to vau
deville people who draw their salaries
on suspicion, but thero Is not a hcud
llue act on tho entire bill.
.TewoH'8 Manikins bear that distinc
tion on the program, but not with tho
audience. While the act is exceeding
ly clever from a mechanical stand
point, it would make a greater hit at
a children's matinee than at an even
ing performance Like many other
European acts, the comedy suffers
fom Infantile paralyse.
The stage setting consists of a min
iature stage supplied with, all the ac
coutrements of a regulation stage and
on which miniature people are put
through various stunts by the clever
manipulation or strings. Take the
children to the Orpheum this week.
"Toyland Vaudeville" will surety
please them
Farnum and tho Clark sisters are
singers, talkers and dancers They
are original in their style, one or the
unique reatures of the act being an
Rlleged quarrel which results In
"Billy" Farnum descending rrom the
stage and leaving tho theater He
returns, however, to explain to his
co-workers that somebody has stolen
his other shirt rrom the suitcase.
There Is another vontrlloquist on
tho bill this week in the person or
Herr Richard Nadragc. Ills German
needs so much English cultivation
that much or the dialogue misses the
audience entirely, but the nolso ir
nothing else proclaims him to be an
artist In his lino of work.
El Cota, labeled "The Pnderewski
of the Xylophone," should be more
appropriately termed "Ragtime Pad
erowski " As a ragtime artist on tho
xylophono El Cota has all other man
ipulators of the wooden hammers
lashed to the mast. It doesn't take
"Paderewski" long to get Into ragtime
nnd when he does he runs the gaunt
lot of populnr ragtime selections from
'"Grizzly Bear Rag" to "Tho Barber
Shop Chord," aud back again. El Cota
exhausted his repertoire or ragtime
last night boiore the audience would
let him get away
"Something Doing AH the Time" is
very appropriately applied to the act
introducing AIT Grant and Miss Ethel
Hoag. Grant is a human rapid-lire
gun when it comes to shooting com
edy at his audience. He is a verj
clever Impersonator.
Thero is a horizontal bar and tra
peze act which would be hard to beat.
Tho act Introduces the Marlc-Aldo
trio and all are exceedingly clover.
There is an nlleged runny man but
the merit or the act centers on the
hairbroadth work on the bars.
With the usual good pictures and
music by the orchestra this comprises
the bill as it will be presented at tbe
Orpheum every night this week and
with the usual mat.nccs on Wednes
day and Saturday
