Gertrude Van Dyck.
Qertnide Van Dyck, known from one
nd of tbe theatrical world to the other
a "tba girl with the-double voice," will
appear at the Orpheum all thia week In
. a tiny musical comedy wherein she is
assisted by a capable comedian and a
pianist of note. Her aides In the vaude

maker, and .ISfiX Vincent, author of the
tuneful comedy, who. aa well, is her
alded a remarkable piano player. Mr.
Vlneaat's pfanologtie- wilt- be a feature
of tba number. , Ml Van Dyck In ex
hibiting her. extraordinary poaaeaaion
of two voices, will alnr a difficult p&cs-
- age -from grand opera first aa a soprano
and then as a baritone. AU along the

Quaint characteis with the grip of
reality about them, ordinary people
whom one meets In everyday life, that
delight the heart, are the personagea
who people the stage !n "Rebecca of
Bunnybrook Farm," which Klaw A Er
langer will present at the Helllg for
an entire week, commencing tonight.
with special ladles' matir.ee Wednesday,
and usual matinee Saturday.
These denizens of tha stage worlJ
are the creatures Imagined and created
by Kate Douglas Wiggln In "Rebecca of
Sunnybrook Farm" and "The New
Chronicles of Rebecca." Mm. Wiggln,
In transforming her people to the stage,
had the expert assistance of Charlotte
Thompson, one of the present day pop
ular dramatists. Rebecca is the daugh
ter of one of the large New England
families where there are more mouths
to feed than food to put Into them. From
a sense of duty her mother's sisters,
two middle aged mniden ladles, whose
Ideals of life are set between straight
lineB that mark the path of the Purf-i
tan, take Rebecca home to care for. The
girl has been free and untrammeled in
her -home, surrounded by a bevy of
brothers and bisters to whom she Is a
princess and leader, and her transition
to ijie staid, cold, grim life at the homei
of her aunts. Is a shock from which her
nature find8 it liard to robound. During
the term of her first griefs, she flees
from the protecting roof of her aunts
to th home of old Jeremiah Cobb, driv
er of the stage, which brought her to
the Sawyer house. There, under the
fatherly guidance of tho kindly old driv
er, she is led to see her duty, and to go
back to her aunta to perform it as best
she can. Tho process of taming Rebec
ca becomes, through the progress of
the play, the process of taming the
aunts.
Klaw and Erlanger have set "Re
becca of Sunnybrook Farm In very
beautiful surroundings, ualnjr some of
the characteristic land nca pea and dwell
ing houses In which to place her story.
The play had a run of a year in New
York at th Republic theatre, and waa
more than a year In Boston at the' Tre-
mont theatre and the Illinois theatre in
Chicago. It is one of the great ruc-
cesces of the day. ,

lovable creation Of American literature
in its portrayal of common life.
What a happy and amusing ''home
scene even in an atmosphere of dire
poverty is furnished by the little
Wiggs ea Asia, Australia and Europena
-"-girls with "Jography" - names, and
plucky Bill, who helped his mother res
cue tho old horse. Then there

neighbor. Mis' Hasy, one of the funniest
caricatures of feminine sllpshodness
known to tha stage; Mr. Stubbing with
matrimonial inclinations towards - Mia'
Hasy. and Love Mary, tha unhappy,
misunderstood Waif who flees from tb
orphanage, carrjinir with her tha cun
ning baby boy. Tommy. All these fa
miliar characters and others in large
number are present In thia picture of
tha strange life of a queer people. But
tha deepest heart interest aatu rally cen
ters around tba person of Mrs,. Wiggs,
who la the1 principal -figure la many
comedy situations, but who is revaalftd
la saameata of motherly. , affection, old-1
-a
fashioned tenderness and Christian for
tltude that has endeared her forever in
the heart of American playgoers. Her
quaint philosophy, wonderful cheerful
ness In face of the moat discouraging
circumstances and absolute unselfish
ness are beautiful lessons.
The Baker company haa made a bis;
hit and every member Is now discussed
In the homes and at social gatherings in
ajway that ahowa a return of tha old

x Blanche? Walsh at Orpheum. '
Blanche Walsh, among tha foromoet
emotional actreaaes and traajedlonnea Of
tho United -States, who haa achieved
the success and popularity of Fannr
Davaoport, her illustrious predecessor. I
will b the headllner at the. Orpheum
for the new bill which will open with
the matinee Monday. ,
"The Thunder Gods," a little drama
written especially by Arthur M. Hopkins
for the flrat vaudeville tour osttilanche
Walsh, will be the vehicle of the noted
actress, who will appear as an Indian
maiden. She Is supported by John E.
Ince and William N. Travers, both of
whom have luminous stage records. In
her role aa a Sioux- Indian, Blanche
Walsh la said to exhibit her remark
able talent for emotional acting better
than In more pretentious portrayals In
which she attained fame.
Second on the coming bill Is Edward
Blondall and company In a laughable
sketch, "The Lost Boy." Mr. Blondell
Is the creator of the "country bumpkin"
and the stage -'"Reuben" and the comi
cal qualities of both characters are
combined In the part taken by Mr. Blon
dell in his vaucStvllle sketch.
Banded togethr"v the Manklchl com
pany, several Japanese tumblers and
gymnasts will find place on the new
Orpheum bill In an act that la an
nounced as the most gorgeous presen
tation of Its kind - ever signed over a
vaudeville circuit. The staging and
costuming of this act are elaborate. A
unique feature of the performance of
the Nipponese athletes is a comedian
who punctuates the feats of his fellows
with laughs.
Then the Gertrude Van Dyck trio will
entertain. Miss Van Dyck Is i"tho girl
with the double ' voice" and is acorn
panted In this vaudeville tour by a
capital comedian and a plarrlst of abil
ity. Singing; dancing and mimicry will
loom in this act.
Harry L. Webb, placed by many in
th Mclntyre and Heath class of black
face, will Blngr and talk with the same
facility that has made, him friends hv
the thousands in his three tours of the
Orpheum circuit. Sue Smith, slngrlng
comedienne, has a most promising- num
ber that tingles with merriment and
Carl Green -will paint two . landscapes
inaae most reaiisuo ny .ine projection
of varicolored electric lights through
the make-believe canvas- on which he
brushes art gems rapidly.
Lucy Wjeston and tha Seumas Me
Manus players will close their engage-
mem at ineurpneum tonight.

Coined at Empress. .
On the new bill which opens Monday
afternoon at the Empress there Is a va
ried assortment of funmakers and there
will-be enough laughs for everyone. The
particular headllner' announced la "The
Devil and, Tom Walker."- This is a
musical travesty which is filled with
surprising effects and merriment. There
are 10 people in the act and they repre-
aent familiar typea. Tom Walker is
negro who shoota the chute into the
Infernal region and takea possession of
hades when his satanlo majesty start
on a vacation. , once In command of
tha establishment, Tom Walker makes
thin warm for his friends, and every.
on arriving- receives a hot welcome.
This is on of the biggest spectacular
acts making a tour of tha circuit .
From far off Italy come the Anollo
thio. They were a - sensation at tba
Empire theatre. Bologne, and are mak
ing their first tour ot th United States

comedians. . This act is a rousing acro
batic and gymnaatlo whirlwind, with
plenty of comedy and -everything being
accomplished in snappy style.
From the Lew Fields show "The Hen
Pecks," come Louisa Carver and Tom
