THE ORPHEUM
WEEK COMMENCING FEBRUARY 2, 1903.
No. 1 JUGGLING JORDANS 8 min.Full stage, close in 1. Three young men in a club juggling act. Their work is very good but their dressing is poor. Still I consider it a very good act for the money.
No. 2 WESTON & ALLEN 20 min. Full stage close in 1. "The Rent Collector". Good rough comedy act that went very well with audience.
No. 3 LILLIAN BURKHART & CO. 29 min. Full stage "A Strenuous Daisy". A New sketch with four people. Best act Miss Burkhart has ever had. Very good, and went with screams of laughter. Her work as a slangy Western girl was excellent.
No. 4 MADAM KONORAH 26 min. Full stage. Second week. Act creates talk and mystifies all.
No. 5 KELLEY & VIOLETTE 14 min. One Singing and change act. Good.
No. 6 FULGORA 17 min. Full stage. Carrying big scenic effects and using a number of assistants and supers. Consider it a good novelty act. Fulgora's work is very clever. If this act came from Europe everybody would be after it.
INTERMISSION
No. 7 D'ALMA'S DOGS & MONKEYS 18 min.Full stage. Good animal act.
No. 8 FLORENCE HALLIDAY 12 min. One The wife of a New York minister. Received many columns of newspaper notices and drew big houses at both performances yesterday. Has a good contralto voice and pleased the audience.
No. 9 SEMINARY GIRLS 32 min. Full stage close in 1 Own set. Four girls & four men. Act goes fairly well but there is something lacking. It may work out alright after a few more performances. Scenery and costumes good. Pretty girls and idea novel.
No. 10 PARROS BROTHERS 11 min. Full stage An excellent act, both working well.
No. 11 VITAGRAPH 6 min. Pictures of Samson & Deliah. Good.
