At popular prices, 75, 50, 35 and 25 cents, the show drew $900 In two performances in the winter. Until the farce comes Orpheum patrons will be entertained with two vaudeville bills, said to be the best the circuit has to offer.

BON BON SHOP

MAKES A HIT New Cream Cafe Catches on With Hammond People. The Bon Bon shop, a new candy and cream cafe, opened this week in the building at the Broken Corners vacated by Otto Negele. It is a delight to tha eye and palate. The place has a distinction all its own being the only par lor in Hammond with a color scheme and one of the few without a mechanical piano. Those two features should make friends for the proprietors, J. P. Ryan and S. E. Trlnkle. The youns gentlemen manufacture their own creams and Ices and have a variety of dishes. They are liberal with the whip ped cream and cherries. It Is as fresh airy and pleasant in the new estab lishment as out doors in an evening flower garden and patronage Is coming fast. The service is all that could be desired. No Prisoner, no Trial. "Yer honor," said the custodian of West Hammond's cooler this morning, "1 guess you don't need to hold court today. Less whys, there don't appear to be any pressing need of It." "Prisoner to the bar," ordered Judge Adam Stachowltz, impatiently. "Can't be done, yer honor. Somebody poked a pickaxe through the wnder last night an' the durned crook picked the lock." Court adjourned. So the case of John Lentz, a wifebeater arrested on a warrant by Chief of Police Okraj, Is Mndefiniately post poned for preponderance of evidence awaiting the recapture of the prisoner.

Good Orpheum Show. customer "I want to see the swellest thing in corsets." Floor Walker "Can't do itf she's just stepped out." Who'd a thought It. Our coxy little vaudeville house turned into an English Musical hall with puns, ballads, a blind-golded artist, magician and all. Had not Green's celebrated band played a rag time to close the shew at the Orpheunt last evening no one would have recognized the State street playhouse. For two seasons we have heard cyncopated melody until the bare contrast of last night's show filled patrons with delight. With English Jokes like the one above, Fred Morton, a conversational paperlst, opens the show. By all standards of vaudeville his ten-minute act is the best on the bill, for he springs the biggest surprise and displays the most bkill of any. Harry Bouton, dealing in comedy magic, goes better, though his tricks are simple compared to the actual skill of Uorton and the monster design he accurately cuts blindfolded. The "Three Dixie Girls" sing plantation melodies In a peculiar but pretty way. Billy Link and Blossom Robinson are the headllners, though they do nothing noteworthy. Miss Robinson has a clear, true tone, but she gasps so loud after each note that it soon becomes painful. Billy Link Is an ordinary low comedian,' and though he causes much laughter, he fails to get the curtain call a headliner should. Hankenson's Good Bookings By booking the best and trusting to the good taste of his patrons, Maurice Hankenson. local representative of the Allard Brothers' syndicate, made money for himself, the houses he operates and the shows he entertained during the season now nearlng an end. He accomplished what former managers have failed to do at the Hammond theater since the days of Towle's opera house. He filled the house on week 5
