MELODRAMA AND COMEDY AT ORPHEUM THEATER Melodrama of several different shades made up the entertainment at the Orpheum last night There was a good attendance. "ElMonte Ranch," is as might be expected a cowboy drama with plenty of action; "His Mother" is a delightfully impossible story of home life; "The Bag of Gold," furnishes more melodrama with the flavor of Tamala Land; "The Sub stitute" an exaggerated newspaper story is a satire with a bit of rough touches: the "Two Weary Willies" are certainly funny. The same show will be on tonight.
