The King of All Mystery -- August 7, 2014




I can't find much about John Siems, but he was born in Denmark and came to America.  He had a long successful career as a conjuror.  This ad from the 25-November-1911 Ogden Standard promotes a show at the Orpheum Theater.  Orpheum was a big vaudeville chain in the west.

Orpheum -- August 9, 2013

The Orpheum opened as a vaudeville house in 1926.  Later it had a vaudeville and movies policy.  Now it hosts musicals.  I took the photo on 10-May-2013.
