CLEVER SHOW AT
THE ORPKEUm
Toymaker's Dream Has a
Clever . Comedian and Splendid Vocalists.
One of the cleverest shows that ever
came to Hammond, considering admis
sion and other things, appears at the
Orpheum. It Is "The Toymaker's
Dream," and of all the musical tabloids that have come to the theatre It
Is the brightest and most sparkling. There Is a genuine comedian, Cush-
man from the West, with the company who is sood for a laugh every ten sec
onds. There are a host of pretty girls and some especially good songsters, both male and female. Manager Hanklnson Is certainly keeping up the quality at this popular playhouse and Hammond people should give It liberal patronage. East Chicago folk are beginning to flock .in large numbers to the shows.
The current engagement of "The
Toymaker's Dream" closes this evening. Although the piece does not seem to have taken the hold on Hammondltes
affections with a grasp manifested
by earlier musical shows It has never
theless enjoyed a goodly patronage for this season of the year. What the show lacks in comedy fs more than made up for by the presence of some tinkling tunes and a number of rather pretty young women. . , -
