Orpheum
Andrew Mack
- At last, after much heraldling, and some delay in arrival, the famous Edison Talking Moving Pictures are to be shown in Winnipeg. They will form an important feature of next week's bill at the Orpheum, where they are to be exclusively shown, and will continue at that theatre, with weekly changes of material. This extraordinary invention has proved itself all that its enthusiastic promoters could have hoped, and local audiences will appreciate an opportunity of seeing the results of the Wizard's activity, while it is still a real novelty to the world.
- Andrew Mack, one of the most popular of Irish tenors, whose services heretofore have been confined to Irish lyric drama with its musical interpolations. Rather oddly, Mr. Mack's decision to enter vaudeville and his choice of a vehicle in which to do it came almost simultaneoously during a recent ocean voyage. He had been asked to take part in the customary ship's concert and decided to contribute a medley of songs and jest. The result was so distinctly successful that he immediately thought of its value for variety purposes and soon afterward signed a contract committing him to the Orpheum circuit in the new act, "The Ship's Concert." His newest song hit is, "Oh, Mr. Moon," and insistent audiences have induced him to repeat his brilliant success of other days, "Molly-O."
- Bob Matthews and Al Shayne, "A Night on the Bowery," a clever turn in which they impersonate two typical Bowery characters - a dope fiend and an east side Hebrew. They enact a little drama which commences very seriously and graphically, and gradually resolves itself into a real comedy scene with parodies, songs annd dancing. Both men are clever and original.
- Joe F. Willard and John E. Caine in "Detectivism." As the public still clamors for plays of the underworld, they have brought forth a new and entirely different vehicle, built upon the same familiar theme. There are surprises in plenty.
- Irene Bercseny, known as the Hungarian Gypsy Queen, is a handsome young woman, and an expert on the cimbal, a typical Hungarian instrument; somewhat unfamiliar on this side of the water. Built after the fashion of a xylophone, it yet has a far sweeter and more delicately shaded tone, and with its aid she gives a program of gypsy music. Assisting Madame Bercseny is Yosca, a violinist.
- Harry De Coe, equalibrist
- A handsome young American woman, known simply as "That girl from Chicago," for the reason that family prejudice forbade her adopting the stage under the family name.
- The Five Hurleys, three men and two women who specialize in lofty somersaulting.
- The photoplane and orchestra
Empress
The Arm of the Law
- Sullivan and Considine present the gigantic fun storm and comedy triumph, "Fun in a Boarding House," with 11 talented comedians and players-20 minutes of fast and furious fun
- Roland West announces the eminent actor, J. Herbert Frank and company in the protean drama "The Arm of the Law," a stirring playlet teeming with thrilling incidents.
- Lohse & Sterling, Thrills and Fun on the Flying Rings
- Clever rural character comedians, the Creighton Brothers in their inimitable comedy creation, "Relics of '67."
- a charming comedienne, Eva Shirley, in new and pleasing singing specialties
- choruscope-orchestra-Empresscope
Elite
A tabloid production of "Louisiana Lou" which the management promises will be as good as any musical comedy roadshow in the business, will be given at the Elite theatre this week by the Elite Musical Comedy Co., which are succeeding the Mabel le Monaie company, which is finished its engagement in the city. An entirely new set of principals has been secured and the play will be produced under the personal direction of Harry B. Cleveland.(This seems to be the same fellow.)Among the new principals secured are, Wm. Ralston, character parts: Joe Kemper, juvenile, and Joe Casey, tenor. "Louisiana Lou" is a condensation of the original musical comedy. Harry B. Cleveland will take the part of Abram Levensky. The scene of the play is laid in Jersey City, N.J. New costumes will be brought in by the new company and new scenery will decorate the stage.
