FINE PROGRAM AT THEJBRPHEUM The program at the Orpheum theatre in Hammond this week deserves special mention. It is one of the best that has been seen there in a long time. The program is clean and wholesome and yet highly entertaining. The feature of the program are the "Dairy Mails," four young women do some singing and dancing acts of a high order. Three of the girls dance and one sings exceedingly well. Their costumes are attractive and well chosen. The Bleucher brothers did some acrobatic work of a high order. They had a first-class equipment and demonstrated some new stunts. Bert and Bess Draper in "That Coon from Mobile" made a great, hit. Bess Draper has what might be called a female baritone voice. It was Its unusual quality that made such a hit. Then to close the performance Celeste did some very good taut wire work. Monday and Tuesday have given the public a chance to form an estimate of the music that is being furnished by George Green and the opinion is general that it is excellent. The orchestra is exceedingly conscientious in its work and the result speaks for itself. The overture and other selections were first class.
