And there wuz gardens and orange groves nigh by, too, where you could see ripe oranges and green ones hangin' to the same trees dretful interestin' sight. Wall, if you would turn back agin and go towards the Fair ground on the south side, a Hungarian Orpheum is seen first. This is a dance hall, theatre, and restaurant all combined.
Bobby surveyed Biff with an indulgent smile. "Thanks," said he. "That will give me time to see what I can do." "You take my advice, Mr. Burnit," earnestly interposed the Signorina. "Don't bother with your friends. Go and see the manager of the Orpheum and ask him about that open date. Ask him if he thinks it wouldn't be a good investment for you to back us."
"What makes you think it would work?" "Human nature.... Now you just think it all over from the beginning. All our friends come to the Orpheum some night, don't they? They'd go to some picture, anyway, but they come to the Orpheum for two reasons one's because it's a nice house now, and the other's because it's ours. And sometimes they're in time to get good seats, and sometimes they aren't.
There was a matinée at the Orpheum to-day and King went there. I followed him in and got a seat next to him and tried to get friendly. But he had only eyes for the girl on the stage, and I might as well have been the paper on the wall for all the notice he took of me. After her turn, he went out and waited for her at the stage door. They went to Roymoyers for tea.
"Say, Julie, want to walk down to Kearney with me?" Miss Girard said, jumping up. "I want to get my corsets, and we might drop in and see if we can work Foster for some seats for to-night." "I've got a date to-night," said Julia, with a glance at her mother. "What's that?" Emeline said sharply. "Why, Mama, I told you I was going to the Orpheum with the Rosenthals "
If Pinto Silva had a hobby, it was the Orpheum Theatre. The Orpheum had been in low water and had come into the market at a moment when theatrical managers and proprietors were singularly unenterprising and money was short. Pinto had bought the property for a song, and had converted his purchase into a moderate success.
He sat watching with gloomy interest the progress of the little revue which was a feature of the Orpheum programme, and his mind was occupied by a very pressing problem. He was shaken, too, by the interview he had had with the Huddersfield police. He had had to fake a story to explain why he left the library, and why, in his absence, Mr. Crotin had committed suicide.
Now, however, his confidence was back in his heart, and when, on Sunday afternoon, he placed himself inconspicuously in the window of an ice-cream parlour, squarely opposite the Orpheum, it was merely to satisfy his inquisitiveness, and not to feed his doubt. He had to concede that Henry was clever. Henry had introduced more fresh ideas into his business than all his competitors in bulk.
He kept his records as perfectly, and studied them with as much zest, as once he had kept and studied the records of the First Ten in the tennis ranking, and of all teams and individuals in first-class polo. To Henry, the Orpheum had long ceased to be a kitchen; he had almost forgotten that a few months ago, his soul had been corrugated with goose-flesh at the prospect of this probation.
