The old minstrel HI I xman is in better form than ever and has a splen- fli ! did company this season. He opened a two SH I ' nights' engagement at the Salt Lake theatre last flB I ' -night. Neil O'Biien is with him, and O'Brien is Hjfi i one of the cleverest black face entertuiners in ( ' the business. Hj , There will be a matinqo this afternoon and a HE ' performance tonight. If you are suffeiing from (I fiozen-face, three hours with Dockstader will take it out without pain. Dockstader's burlesque, "A Day in the "White I House," is one of tho cleverest stunts ho has ever 9H attempted. His music is excellent this year, and i"Tho Temple of Gems" is a mighty pretty stage picture. w W l THE SISTERS MACARTE. !

Salerno, unquestionably one of the finest jugglers jug-glers performing In vaudeville or before the public at all, for that matter, will be tho feature of the Orpheum program for next week. Salerno has been on the Orpheum circuit for several seasons. He is one of tho cleverest men of his craft and can easily be depended upon for half a dozen new stunts that are away above the average. Charles B. Evans and company aro to present George Arllss' farce entitled, "It's Up to You, I William." Evans is a very talented comedian and is said to have an excellent company. Daisy Harcourt is on the bill as an English singing comedienne. Mabel Maitland is due during the week with her southern negro stories, and Lew "Wells Is to be seen in a monologue and in saxophone saxo-phone eccentricities. Mankin is billed as an artistic ar-tistic entertainer, and the kinodrome will close the evening. & & The Earl Burgess company of players are well launched on a very successful season of melodramatic melo-dramatic productions at the Grand, from all indications. in-dications. The company's presentation of "The Queen of the White Slaves" the last half of this week has been very satisfactory, and beginning Sunday evening they will appear in what is unquestionably unquestion-ably one of the finest melodramas ever turned from tnu pen of Al Woods, entitled, "Convict 999." 7 k c& The dramatic club of All Hallows college has changed the arrangements somewhat for the pro- Iduction of Moliere's "The Rogueries of Scapin," to be given the evening of May 18th for the bene- fit of the athletic association of the college. The J play was to have been given in the Lyric theatre on that evening, and the club has secured instead the Salt Lake theatre. The play is one of Moliere's Mo-liere's best farces, and in addition to the production produc-tion of the piece the college orchestra, under the direction of Professor Anton Pedersen, will render ren-der several musical selections. |
