There is action both in music - ; and in dialogue from rise to fall of the ' curtain. Scenic beauty and gorgeous costumes delight the eye, and tuueful melodies arc abundant. lJ Tom Arnold, appearing in tho title I role, is bettor suited for tlio part than anything that ho has over attempted. .dams, Hough and Howard, favorably Known to tho public as authors of "The Goddess of Liberty," ''Tho Stubborn Cinderella," "The Time, the Place and tho Girl," and a score of other successes, suc-cesses, aro also proud to assume the responsibility for "Tho Prince of Toil To-il ilit,'" since it is regarded by many as the best musical coined' of tho decade. dec-ade. LcConitc and Flesher have provided pro-vided this attraction with one of the most elaborate productions ever seen on tour. The costumes, the settings ;ind tlio light effects aro beautiful and striking, and the harmony of tints, colors and shades is enchanting. Jt requires more than monoy and hard work or experience experi-ence to prepare such a production as is to be seen in "Tho Princo of Tonight." Such a lavishly furnished environment is essential in tho proper creation of atmosphere- of magic and mystery required re-quired by tho fanciful story." Tom Arnold is scon as" a stranded college youth at "The Breakers," Palm Beach, where he is employed as a life saver. Because of his lack of position posi-tion and wealth, be is jilted by a beautiful beau-tiful heiress. Under the spell of the magic hour of the blooming r-cutury plant, he becomes Princo of Lunitania lor the night, and unless ho is kissed by the right girl before the night passes, he is to die at dawn.' Some of Joseph E. .Howard's catchiest catchi-est songs aro heard, among them "Tonight "To-night will Never Come Again," "1 Can't Be True So Far Away,' "T Fell in Love on Mondav." "You're n Dear Old World, After All," "Her Eves Are Blue for Yale," "The Best.

This week's attraction attrac-tion is "Because Sho Lovod Him So," three acts that are crowded with genuine genu-ine fun. The play wns written by William Wil-liam Gillette and scored heavih' where- .over it has boon presontod. It affords another good opportunity for Miss Rambcau to display her talents and beauty, and the promiBo is made that Utah patrons will get moro than thoir money's worth. While tho situations for tho most part aro highly amusing, thoro is also a sorious note to' tho play, making a do- lightful combination, and furnishing an cntortainment hard to beat. Tho story has to do mostly with a young married couple and the parents of tho young woman. Oliver West is an artist. His wifo is a beautiful high-tempered woman, wo-man, jealous in the cxtrome and full of suspicion. The Wests' home lifo ib not a happy ono because eho is always accusing her husband of wrongdoing and if lio even looks at another woman it 18 the signal sig-nal for a tempest. Mr. and Mrs. John Weatherb, parents of Mrs. West, decide de-cide to teach her a lesson and they plan to feign a violent quarrel. Tom Weatherby, Wea-therby, brother of Mrs. West, is in lovo with Julia, tho daughter of tho I?cv. Mr. Langley, dean ot Wcsterford. Tho dean wants to know something about Tom's family and the latter invites in-vites him to visit the Wests and soo how happy thej are. Just before tho arrival of tho Long-leys, Long-leys, a servant girl in. the Wost homo sprinkles perfume on West's coat and places two long blond hairs on his shouldor. Mrs. West makes tho nstounding discovery and goes into a rngo. She accuses "her husband of an affair with a woman and a stornvy scene follows and is witnessed by the horrified Mr. Langlcy. The Langle3''s then decide to visit the Wcathcrbvs and arrivo there just as the old couple arc engaged in an apparently ap-parently torriolo row. The quarrel, started as a "frame-up," "frame-up," terminates in a genuine row and complications fairly tumble over each other.

Willard Mack will play the role of West, tho ariist. Marjorio Rambcau "has a splendid part in the rolo of the jealous wife. Arthur Morse Moon will gct::i lot of fun out of the part of Tom Weatherby. Howard Scott, the jiopular character man ut the Utah, will play John Weatherby, while Mrs. Lillian Rambeau will "have the part ot Mrs. Weatherby. Miss Connclli lias been cast, for the pnrt of the servant girl who causes most of the domestic tangles. "Miss Holle plays .Julia Langley and Fred Moore has the part of "the Rev, Mr. Langley. Smaller parts have- been assigned to Arthur J. Price and Pearl Either. The scenes are laid in London, England, and the time is tho present. There will be matinees Thursday and Saturday and at each performance there will be a fine musical programme B Bl ! underd the leadership of Professor Willard Wil-lard Wei he. TUB regulars who assemble every ev-ery Sunday afternoon at the Or-phcum Or-phcum and pass judgment on tho new show will this afternoon after-noon be treated to one of those vaudeville vaude-ville bills whose keynote is spice and variety. The new bill this week gives promise of being entertaining in the fullest sense of the word from tho opening open-ing concert by Edward J. Eitzpatrick 's aggregation of finished musicians to the first-run exclusive Patho comedy, "A Bear Escape," which closes this week's offering. Topping the roster of ontorlainors comes Hassard Short's "Danco Kpv-cries," Kpv-cries," a unique conception of a young man who goes to sleep and proceeds to dream of the dances of days gono by. In succession beautiful girls appear, drcssod in tho costumes of tho period they represent, and with the dreamer proceed to do a characteristic dance. The lirst of the six appears in the old-jashioned old-jashioned hoop skirt, tho last in a modern creation which ih associated with tho tango. "Dauce Reveries" was tho hit of a recent all-star Lamb's gambol in New York and tho vaudeville vaude-ville magnates did not let the grass grow under their feet beforo tho cast was signed up for the Orphcum circuit. cir-cuit. The name of Coughlan is one to con-iure con-iure with among tho lovers of tho legitimate drama. The youngest member mem-ber of that family of actors, Miss Itos-' nlind Coughlin, iH listed second on the now bill. This charming 3'oung actress, lottc, W. H. Crane, Dustin Earnum, Viola Allen and the famous French actress, act-ress, Mmo. Simone, is heading hor own little company in Edgar Allen Woolf's brand new comedy slfetch. "Tho Obstinate Ob-stinate Miss Granger." Before Miss Coghlau appeared in vnudevillo she appeared ap-peared on Broadwaj' in "The Traveling Salesman," "Brewster's Millions," "The Lion and the Mouso" and other well-known plays. Her present vehicle is said to be well worthy of her talents. Joyous acclaim is destined to "rcet "Tho Wrong nero," as played by'lvel-lar by'lvel-lar Mack and Frank Orth. ' Thoso two young men are successful song writers and are possessed of that invaluable comedy instinct that is so sought after in vaudeville entortaining. In this act they introduce a number of thoir own songs which are well sung, but these aro probably ovorshadowed by the drolleries of the team. If you saw "Drifting" two venrs ago ypu will want to see it agaiu, while for thoso who have never seen this charming- little comedy thero is an unrealized un-realized treat iu storo. Zit in the New York Evening Journnl recently said of the work of Agnes Scott nnd Henry Kenne in "Drifting": "When their little sketch is over vou fool like going up on the stage and taking the whole scone in your arms. I am o delighted with this beautiful playlet I would travel through a blizzard to see it again." Grace, beauty and strength, each in the superlative degree, give a cameo-liko cameo-liko distinctiveness to the gymnastic work done by tho Four Athlctas. Any ono of the four might safely lay claim to the title of "The PcrfocV. Woman." Class is the keynote of their aerial and acrobatic work. Miss Virginia Rankin Is possibly one of the best-known bund soloists in the country. Miss Rankin iH possessed of a high'boprauo voice of great rnngo and clearness, while a perfect enunciation I adds materially to the joy of her singing. sing-ing. Fred and Albert have- been bffforo the public for nine yonrs aa gymnasts. To tho fact that they are always introducing in-troducing novelties and executing them with case and graco, is ascribed their good standing in big vaudovillo. The derrick trick, which is executed by onlj' Fred and Albert, is their own creation, cre-ation, and is said to be one of tho most difficult as well as picturesque accomplishments in the acrobatic world. THERE is a young man in an act at tho Empress this week who will probabljr be rending his namo in big electrical letters on Broadwaj' somo of those da3's, while the managers charge the dear public $2 apioco to go in and watch him cut up. His name is Andrew Tombos and ho appears as comedian in "Cupid's Syndicate," an act that heads a bill of unusunl proportions. Now Mr. Tombcs may have a funeral name and tho samo kind of appearance, but liis liuo of comedy has nothing of the tombs about it, unless you should laugh yourself to death. Tombes has everything every-thing to recommend him as a coming comedian. Ho has youth and good looks, looks of tho kind that thoy pay high salaries for in moving pictures so thut you can mako funny fiices at the camera. Bost of all, he has originality, and that counts most, and ho can dance and sing remarkably well, which also adds to his drawing powers. Some of these days some manager out of the oast is going to cast an eye over Mr. Tombos and his days on tho vaudeville stage will bo uuniborcd. The act is clove, tuneful and very well staged, and J"i'lj,ss Miriam Curson is delightful in tho role assigned to her. As a musical mu-sical offering Mr. Tombes and "Cupid's "Cu-pid's Syndicate" is just about tho best that the Empress has offered its patrons pat-rons since the opening of this cozy house. Ajiothcr act that seems to be causing all sorts of laughter is the Shakespearean Shakespear-ean travesty. '"Othello Outdone," presented pre-sented by tho Clayton, Drew compauy of players. It's just just one great, big laugh following another until your sides ache from laughing. The act is elaborately staged with a special stage setting and tho costuming is accurate. Jf it's a laugh vou are looking for, "Othello Outdone" will surely fill the Snyder and Hallo are delightful daucors, and they do a Tango that brings them a rich reward of applause. Several other popular and graceful dances arc included in their novel repertoire. reper-toire. At tho present time, when "craze" dances seem to be the vogue, this nimble-footed team will prove to be one of the real treats of the season. The Brazilian glide, a brand-new one, is offered for the first time iu this city. Clarence Oliver, formrly the star of a Cohan production, "Officer GGG," appears ap-pears in song and monologue, and he lias a number of now and good stories and some now songs and parodies that bring him a liberal share of applause. This is Mr. Oliver's first vaudeville tour and what the legitimate has lost vuudcvillo has gained. Cruet and Gruet have a lively httlo act called "Sam at tho Circus' This is a burnt-cork number of the sterling variety and is a great laugh winner. This team has appeared in Salt Lalce many times, but never to better ad vantage than in tneir present, veuicic, which gives them a splendid opportunity opportu-nity to sing, dance, tulk und play an assortment of musical instruments. A great big applause hit are' O'Brien and I-icar in their delightful musical offering. It is seldom that both members mem-bers ot a vaudeville team are found to possess excellent singing voices, but in this particular case both voices harmonize har-monize beautifully. Their impersonation impersona-tion of the real East Side Italian is a work of art and a classic in its line. Another great, big comedy bill is promised for next week, opening with a matinee next Wednesday. For novelty nov-elty the new I bill has not been surpassed sur-passed this season. Heading the list is the funny tarce, "In 1900," or what, the women will do when they hold all the political offices. of-fices. Tt's one of those "away ahead" comedies that is extremely funny, and sets a man to thinking "where will 1 be then?" . , . Aa tlio added attraction, Durkin s do"- and monkev circus will havo tho boards. These little dumb animale are really great actors. They ask no favors fa-vors and earn every little bone they receive re-ceive for breakfast, dinner and supper. sup-per. Belmont and Harl will prosont "Tho Man, the Girl, the Piano." This is ono of the most tuneful of all musical offerings. of-ferings. .... , "The Spirit Paintings'' arc the riddle rid-dle of the century, guess it if you can. A flash of the hand and a picture is made, not a Mcissonicr or a Corot, but a real good picture, tho reproduction of somo famous painter. William Cahijl is a real Irish comedian come-dian and a man who cau untie the broguo in a most delightful manner. Pollard is a juggler, but a whole lot different from most in his line, for he is a regular chatter box. Thoro is wonder won-der in his arms and plenty of volume from his talk-tank. Tho weekly review is rapidly becoming becom-ing ono of the pleasant foaturcs of the i bill, and for the coming week presents man' views which arc Tjoih interesting and instructive. Oil the headline attraction at I'nn--1 tages this week Will Armstrong and companj', who present the laughable success, "The New Expressman," an uproariously funny playlet, Armstrong has impersonations of famous comedians in singing, dancing danc-ing and funny dialogue and situations. What is quite us. important is that there are two attractive girls, Dorothy Dale and Ada Robertson, who wear wonderful gowns. "The Terrible Terry s.

He has been on tho vaudeville stage for many years as one of the brightest and eleven si sinecrs and dancers, and ho has a st ic anJl manner all his own. In his present pres-ent vehicle ho has a rolo that fits his personality to a nicety, and it is one i i n. which ho shines with groat brilliancy. Tho story of the piece has to do wun a young man who' goes in quest ol a young lady whoso father is a German who has lately obtained great wealth and wants his daughter to mnrry into tho nobilitv, and at tho imrnc time lias advertised "for a butler, but ot course ho gets mixed up in all sorts of funny predicaments and has all sorts ol trouble before tho plot is finally untangled. un-tangled. Mr. Clifford is seen as. the young Englishman, and ho .is given many brilliant liiics and ho is caught in many tight places. There is a love story running through the piece- also, and it. forms ono o tho very interesting interest-ing features of tho attraction. Mr. Clifford has surrounded himseU with a good company. Miss Ida May is a singer of real songs and has had much experience in musical comedy. She has a fine voico and a splendid stage presence. pres-ence. Dainty Mae Collins, tho sou-brcttc, sou-brcttc, is a clever mimic of Scotch songs, and has gained much distinction on tho vaudeville stage.
