Just to prove her pep, she went out

ORPHEUM THEATRE
At the Orpheum Theatre there will
be given an extra performance on
New Year's Eve. The first show will'
start at 7:30 p. m., and the second
at 9:45 p. m. This New Year bill
is the headliner with James J. Cor-,
bett. "Gentleman Jim" to the world.
as everybody knows, was the most
popular heavy-weight champion the
Iring has ever produced. During Cor
bett's ring days it was an acknowl
edged fact that his science and not
his strength made him the champion'
of the world. Today Corbett is as
fit and trim as ever. He is keen
eyed and as graceful of movement
as ever. His excellent physical con
Idition and fine appearance is undoubt
edly due to the fact that he is a
temperate man in every meaning of
the word. Dissipation has played no
part in his life. Mothers will do
well to bring their children to see,,
Corbett and hold him up to their
sons as a model. Mr. Corbett is
assisted by Billy B. Van.
Few dancers upon the vaudeville.
stage today have so quickly attained
fame in their profession as the Mar
mein Sisters, who are bringing their
newest creations to the Orpheum
next week. They will give a compli
mentary lesson to dancing pupils and
all young ladies interested in dan'
I ing. upon the stage of the theatre.
They will also give a short talk on
the fundamentals of the art of danc
ig. will answer all questions per
taining to the work, and will wel
come the mothers of children and
young ladies as well. The Marmein
Sisters are assisted by Ruth Marr,
who is a soprano singer, and Albert
Kirst, Jr., violinist conductor.
Flo Lewis moulds in song, story
and personality just as finely as a
sculptor does in clay. She handles
her material in a perfectly delightful
manner and she is fortunate in hav
ing a particuarly fine collection of
songs.
Paul Decker, pleasantly remem
bered for former appearances in
vaudeville. is in a smart little new
comedy, "I heard - ," which was
written specially for him by Edwin
Burke. The author of Mr. Decker's
playlet, it will be recalled, has writ
ten extravagantly for vaudeville in
the last two seasons. He has fur
nished innumerable vehicles for some
of the most brilliant stars In the
two-a-day. In Mr. S)ecker's present
vehicle, the title of which suggests
"dishing the dirt" or "slipping the
scandal," this young comedian takes
a distinct step forward.
Jack Osterman, in "Fifteen Min
utes of Something." is the newest
and probably the youngest of van
deville singles, and many people be
lieve he is among the best. He com
bines the Irresistibility of youth and
inherited ability and an exceedingly
pleasing personality with a bright
sparkling line of stories and songs.
Liddell and Gibson, however, will
have none of these things. They are
content with plain English, and so
instead of using a superlative they
are content to announce themselves
as "Just Vaudevillians." Liddell and
Gibson sing, dance and talk, and
they do all three uncommonly well
They crowd fifteen minutes of solid
entertainment. What more could be
asked for.
Jack and Jessie Gibson, an extra
ordinary clever man and woman
team of clever artists, present an
offering called "A Cycle of Smiles
and Thrills."

TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN GIRLS
Kipling at His Best Wrote With Com
plete Comprehension of Their
Many Charms.
Thirty years ago, ltudyard Kipling
found the American girl above com
pare. In "American Notes" he said of
her:
"Sweet and comely are the maidens
of IDevonshire; delicate and of gracious
seeming those who live in the ileasant
places of London; fascinating fir all
their denrureness the damsels of
lFrane clinging closely to their moth
ers. anal with large eyes wondering at
the wickaed worll; excellent in her
own place and to thosei who under
stand her is the Anglo-lndian 'spin' in
heir second season; but the gills of
Amneric.a are aIove and beyond them
all. They are clever: they can talk.
Yen, it is said that they think. They
are Instructed in the folly and vanity
of the male mind. for they have asso
cflted with 'the boys' from boyhodtl,
and can discerningly minister to both
vices, or pleasantly snub the possessor.
As certain of their own poets have
said:
Man is fire and woman is tow.
And the devil he comes and begins to
blow.
"In America the tow is soaked in a
solution that makes it fireproof. In ab
solute liberty and large knowledge;
consequently accidents do not exceed
the regular percentage arranged by
the devil for each class and climate
under the skies."
SMALL BOY'S PLAN WORKED
Whole Lot Better Than Keeping Cen
stant Watch for Marauding Band
of Chickens.
One time when Frank Wallace, state
entomologist, was a small boy, says
the Indianapolis Star, his father as
signed him to guard a garden from a
marauding band of chickens from a
neighbor's coop. Frank did not like
the Idea of wasting his precious boyish
time on unprincipled chickens and sot
his wits to working.
He bored holes through grains of
corn, tied notes to the end of a thread
attached to the grains and set the bait
The foolish raiders fell for the trick.
Frightened by the fluttering notes a
few inches from the ends of their bills
and the sensation of the threads in
their throats, the chickens went ly
ing home and tore around the yard.
This attracted the owner and the
chickens were caught and notes read.
This is what they read:
"Ive been over to Wallace's this
afternoon."
The next day the same thing oc
curred and this is what the notes said
that day:
"I scratched out Wallace's sales
bed today."
On the third day the notes read:
"Say, now listen: This is the last
day rm going over to Wallace's ean
come back alive."
There was no fourth day to the
story except that the owner of the
chickens and the father of young Wale
lace nearly got into a fight.
Tepegraphy of the Air.
Explorations of the air have r
ventled an astonishing definiteness of
arrangement In Its layers, although,
of course, the details are costilnaely
changing. Ley, in England, has di.
rected his studies of floating balloons
to a solution of the question of the
tInfluence of the topography of the
earth's surface on the state of the adr
above it. He finds, among other thing.,
that the disturbances produ:ed by hills
and valleys are transmitted to ans
expectedly great elevation, affecting
the lower and middle strata through
out. A general effect noticed Is that
the velocity of the wind, or of a ce
rent of air. Is increased ovdr a hll
and diminished over a valley. It 1i
thought that simllar observatioan, gm
erally distrlbuted, would furnirsh
with a real topography of tihe a.
Washington Star.
