Amid a. shower of roses and cama4ions and other beautiful flowers, and outbursts of enthusiastic applause, behind which was a feeling of good fellowship, a world of appreciation, and a royal welcome, Salt Lake's old favorites WJ I lard Mack and Maudo Lcono opened on engagement engage-ment at the Shubert, Monday night, for a woek's run, in "When We Were Twenty-one." one of tho brightest, most rcall3-tlce rcall3-tlce modern dramas presented In Salt Lake for many a day. Mr. Mack Is again tho Wlllard Mack of old. Maude Leone's over-sclntlllating- presence made the house brighter, the Interesting play more Interesting, and everyone went homo with the, feeling that a return of tho old Mack days, when Wlllard Mack was Wlllard Mack, was again at hand. "When Wo Wero Twenty-one" has lo do with a young man who. In his Infancy, was left an orphan and a charge upon a quartette of his father's dearest friends. Tho ciuartette provided for tho boy. educated edu-cated him and prepared him for the battles bat-tles of Ufa which were to corno, but the bulk of the care and worry in bringing up the young man, training his mind to the nobler things of life, fell upon tho shoulders shoul-ders of Richard Carewe. When tho boy becomes of age he falls In love, or fancies he falls In love, with an actress, whose sphere Is far removed from that in which the young man was reared, nnd whom ho llnally marries, secretly. se-cretly. The matter Is made known lo his benefactor through tho accidental misplacing mis-placing of a lotlor. Through the aid of his fellow members of the quartette. Richard Carewe shows up In her true light the adventuress whom the young man thinks ho loves. The j'oung man is again won back into the fold and started anew on tho right path. There aro ninny touching scenes during the action of the play, somo comedy that Is delightfully refreshing. The love themo Is cleverly woven through tho plot, and the play ends just as the audlcnco would wish it to end. Wlllard Mack Is scon as Richard Carewe. Maude Leone has a part that is in keeping with her talenLs. 1 The other mcmhors of the cast aro well placed, tho whole being perfectly bal anced. The play runs tho week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. Miss' Cecil Fay Iorch Is seen in tho slar part of "The Call of the Circus," now being presented at the Grand theater the-ater all this week. Her Interpretation of this very difficult part is good and the part suits her In every way. Mr. Lorch lias the character of Robert Gordon, and Is one of the best Interpretations that this popular actor has yet given., "The Call of the Circus" Is ono of the best productions that has graced the Grand stage in months, the story is one of very deep Interest throughout, and lo sco It Is to enjoy. .Groat oaro bus Ijoen taken In the stnglng of tho play and overy act is complete In itself. Special scenery has boon painted throughout, Including the circus tents, etc., and tho regular circus band furnishes tho music There will be a special matinee given todny for the old folks. Mr. Lorch has always given tho old folks a treat and this event has been looked forward to wii.h a great deal of pleasure from Suit Lake's aged people. At. tho Casino tho new bill which went 011 Monday afternoon filled this popular playhouse at each of tho performances during the afternoon and evening. The bill will run the week. Tim longest run ever chronicled In theatrical the-atrical history, outside of New York City, by a play charging 52 for main floor seat, was brought to a cloae in Chicago Saturday Sat-urday evening last, whan "The Fourth Estate" was given Its la-sl performance for tho year, at the Studebakcr theater. Soventcen wenks In the Windy City Is the record Just made, and no other offering of liko naturo has ever approached an engagement en-gagement of such length. Incidentally "The Fourth Estate" adds another laurel to Us decoration In view of the fact that It Is tho first successful newspaper play the American stage has ever known. Its success has been ono of the most pronounced pro-nounced registered during tho theatrical year Just olosed nnd only two cltlos, Chicago Chi-cago and Now York, witnessed 1L J. M. Patterson and Harriot Ford aro the authors, au-thors, and probably no other dramatic offering of-fering has been tho aubjoot of so much discussion. More than 20,000 school children chil-dren witnessod the drama during last season, sea-son, and newspaper men became so much interested In Its effect that upon tho ro-nucst ro-nucst of managing ajul city editors In Chicago, a special performance was given for press workers at 2:-h" In tho morning. Early next fall "Tho Fourth Estate" will be taken on tour by Llobler and company, com-pany, the producers, n.ml Its Itinerary includes in-cludes this city. A hand colored film dart from the Pathe Freres studio Is the hendllner at the Luna theater during this week. This subject, "Othello," is a magnificent reproduction repro-duction of Shakespeare's remarkable tragedy. trag-edy. The various parts wero played by the leading dramatic artists at present playing In the largest, theaters in Italy, and the scenes shown were actunlly photographed pho-tographed In Venice. Another picture is "Thou Shalt Not." which tells tho story of the great white plague. Asido from tho powerful lesson in solf-sacrlflco depleted, de-pleted, this film drama tells tho touching story of great heart Interest, with photographic pho-tographic quality and scenic boauty nover before excelled. A clean, roflned comedy is shown In tho Vltagraph production. "Her Sweet Rcvengo," and the musical selections aro up to the usual high standard. stand-ard. If there is a Scotchman in Salt Lake City, either native or American born, who has nto seen and heard Alf Ripon at the Mission this week, he has missed a rare treat if the opinion of hundreds of men and women In Salt Lako City who believe that "Bobbie" Burns was tho greatest poet the world ever knew It to bo taken at half Its worth. That RJpon has made a decided hit with the Scotch pooplo of this city b well an with the other patrons of the house Is conoluslvo from the ap-plauso ap-plauso which he receives at every performance. per-formance. Ho follows tho song with a fine ventriloquist act; The other acts on the bill are being received with as much favor ns any bill that has beon offered In vaudeville in this city for somo time. Orpheum audiences are enjoying a real treat this week In the presentation of a bill that is alii hendllner. It is many weeks since a programme of such general gen-eral excellence has been presented here. Every act on the bill is of superior quality qual-ity and some of them are exceedingly good. 1 A hundred or more women saw the remarkably re-markably clear moving pictures of the Nelson-Wolgast light which are being shown at the .Bungalow at the two reproductions repro-ductions of tho pictures yesterday. The management of tho Bungalow is making a special bid for the patronngo of women, and it is proving as popular with the fair sex as the show did In Denver, where hundreds of women Hocked daily to the big Auditorium to find out for themselves what a real prize fight was really liko. The performances start at 2 o'clock and tho evening performance at 7:30. Fow plays that have appeared in Salt Lake for some seasons nrc better slacod than "As tho Sun Went Down." which is now playing at tho Colonial this week. The third act is an exceptionally beautiful beauti-ful setting and tho play throughout the four acts Is complete with beautiful sccn-ary- "Ah the Sun Went Down" runs the week out with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. |
