THE ORPHEUM.
WEEK COMMENCING DEC. 15, 1902.
No. 1 CHAMBERLAINS   13 min.   Full stage, close in 1.
Experts with lassos. An interesting novel act.
No. 2   DE WITTS   13 min. Open in 2, close in 1.
A young woman and a midget made up as an Irishman. Talking singing and dancing. The appearance of the midget keeps the audience in roars, and they make a decided hit.
No. 3   LIZZIE EVANS & CO.   21 min.   Full stage.
"A Country Dance".  It is a new sketch and I consider it an artistic little trifle, evidently a scene taken from a play. Good for this audience.
NO. 4   MADGE FOX   12 min.    Opens in 1, then to 2, close 1.  Singing coon songs and doing acrobatic dancing and some somersaults in long dresses. Good.
No. 5   DELMORE & LEE   10 min   Full stage
Revolving ladder act, which is daring and attractive. (Put on in place of 6 De Comas, who cancelled at last minute)
No. 6   SHERMAN & DEFOREST   10 minutes   Full stage close in 1.
Man and woman in a strong comedy act called "The Last of the Regiment". Horse play and nonsense, but keeps the audience  in roars. Reminds me of  McAvoy and May.
No. 7   iron   15 min. Full stage.
Illusionist. Fair act Seems to please. 
No. 8   DOOLEY & TEN BROOKE   17 min.   One
Singing comedians. Have some new talk and both sing well.

No. 9   C R E A T O R E     34 min.   Full stage
and his band of 48 men. Consider it the best feature I ever had. A sensation.
No. 10   VITAGRAPH
Presenting "[Serongs?] of Marlay's Ghost".
