The Orpheum's show will be started off by McLoud and Carp, two men in a banjo and violin act that is both expert and entertaining.

The action of the piece is fast and they throw pretty and classy in the way of a clever song, dance and comedy turn. Attractions For the Last Half While no one of the acts booked to appear during the last half of the week are quite so pretentious in numbers still the quality is even above HEAD BILL OF SPECIAL APPEAL the Orpheum before and who is considered the mirth ringer of the Keith market. Joe doesn't say a word during his whole act, and he don't do much trick bicycle riding, it would be unnecessary for him to do any. He appears on the scene as a ragged tramp, sees the bicycle resting against one of the big trees and lo, and behold! it doesn't seem to have an owner. Joe finally gets up his nerve to tackle it and the more he works with it, the more pieces it seems to have and Joe gets frightfully mixed up.

LeHorn and Dupreece, novelty sharp shooters, will round out the bill. Interesting moving picture features will as usual be included in the performance. with the parts of his bicycle and to the hilarity of all, Joe is wading in In the mad hustle for Christmas preparations? there's one thing above all others we must bear in mind this week and that is, "an empty seat at the Orpheum means an empty stomach in Belgian." That's the slogan for the week because the Harrisburg Rotary Club has taken over the Or L3 For The Library pheum theatre for the week and ev ery cent realized over the actual ex- the average. A splendid comedy playlet, a tuneful comedy skit, a refined instrumental and singing turn, and a sensational athletic act are the types of entertainment to be presented.

Special Attractions in "Movies" For the first three days of the week the management is announcing "St. Elmo," a deilghtful feature film that is presented in six parts and which will be shown at the Colonial for its first local appearance in Harrisburg. It is in 194 gorgeous scenes and is said to be the most elaborate, most extravagant, most painstaking contribution to the silent drama depicting the manners, costumes and customs of days before the Civil war, when the chivalry of Southern gentlemen was proverbial when men settled their grievances upon the field of honor and i nse goes to the Belgian Relief fund. will be Harrisburg Christmas or Living Room Table ito the little stricken country of novelty thrown in, is probably the best way to total up the attractions to be presented.

The beauty end of the programme is Bessie Wynn, the lady dainty of vaudeville, and most popular singing comedienne Keith vaudeville ever Bent to Harrisburg. At Keith's Philadelphia Theatre this week she is captivating immense audiences at each performance and- vaudeville managers say she is presenting a wonderful act of beautiful songs. All her songs are new this season. It also goes without saying that Miss Wynn will wear some downs this week that are bound to delight the eyes of all. So much for the beauty end of the bill, but that doesn't weaken the comedy end of it.

That's order to provide a vaudeville difficulties. The Farber Sisters Also Favorites Here! It is now about two or three seasons since the pretty Farber Sisters were at the Orpheum and at that time they were one of the distinct hits of the bill.

When Mr. Hopkins was busying himself in New York City last week he ran across this sister team, then playing the Palace Theatre. Discovering that the girls were doing an entirely new act that was even more clever than before, he immediately set about securing them. Although encountering a good deal of difficulty be finally succeeded in booking them and he seems to be announcing their return next week with a little pardonable pride. The Farber girls are favorites here and they promise to give a goo4 account of themselves this week.
