Ot the baritones who are well
known to patrona of light opera, musi
cal'oomady and vaudeville, perhaps
,->i nun# la mora deserving of being term
’ «d "a popular favorlt” than Claorge
ilaoFarlane, who will appear at tha
orphaiirn theater next week In "Song
Kantaales," In which he haa the as
sistance of Herbert C. lame, accom
panist, and Mias Margaret W alker,
lancer.
Mr. MacFarlane haa been heard la
vaudeville before and that la the ehlef
i eaaoa he la wanted again, for there
are very few singers who have gained
such popularity In the two-a-day. He
is universally popular becauss of his
-ngratlatlng personality and keen
sense of humor. In other words, with
his remarkable vocal gifts, hs also
haa all tha attributes of a man worth
whtla.

Wellington Cross as a musical
comedy dancing star and vaudeville
monologlst la now only a memory, for
he le definitely launched In the dra
matic Held.
I-eat season Mr. Cross eaaayed his
drat dramatic role In a satirical
sketch called "Wives," In which ha
had an opportunity long sought—a
departure from the atyla of work with
which hs had been exclusively Identi
fied, Encouraged by hla success h*
| la preaentlng thla season, "Anything
Might Happen,” In which ha portrays
another likable character. The new
sketch Is a condensed version of a
full length play of lent season. It has
been adapted for vaudeville by Its
author, Edgar flelwyn, and will be
presented at the1 Orpheum this waek
by Mr. Croas and a sapabls company.
