to see him in his comedy success Mary Janos Pa at popular prices It was an audience great In enthusiasm as well as aa in size The Tha explanation of the un unusual unusual UnUsual usual circumstance of at an attraction of at this class seen at less leas than standard prices is that John Cort Cart productions play at the Colonial where there them is a fixed s ral ala of popular prices In this case the public reaps th the benefit and regular pa troas of the Colonial will be crowded this week weel by the friends Max Figman made In his former visits to the city Mary Janes Pa is called an idyllic

last night was not the ed performance that it will be tonight and the remainder tf the thep uok p k because practice makes per f fIt tet c 1 1 but it was sufficiently Interest Interesting ins irig to the fairly large audience that TV li present Mauie Leone Mrs WIl Vil Villard lard Iud Mack ack was easily the chief figure in Ii tn o production and she carried off oft TL T ran ari ry honors It is a part with which Mr IF Mack aek Is perfectly pErte familiar as she I has played It several sev ral times before and she ehe probably scored more easily than she has in anything else she has attempted In Salt Lake Her unusual beauty her charming manner and the delightful insouciance with which she invested the part caught the audience from the beginning Mr Mack was Mr Mack He did what he was called ca e upon to do In his usual manner and his popularity with Bungalow audi audiences audIences audiences is undoubtedly undimmed The Bungalow without Mr Mack wouldn t be much Bungalow The last few tew weeks at the Bungalow have demonstrated that the stock com corn company company pany there has in the tho cast an actor who is rapidly forging to the front and who needs only the proper opportunity ty to display his talents As the coun country country country try squire and landed proprietor of last week weel In Because She Loved Him So and as the eccentric British peer this this week with a a weakness for spiders and amI a 0 tool for designing women Elmer Booth Is doing what a capable actor must do take tako a comparatively small part and and make it H shine The audience last night was strongly for him With WIh Witha a wider field of activity Mr Booths Booth 3 splendid ability ought to put him in inthe inthe Inthe the front rank The others of the cast did well Miss I Irene Outtrim as the English girl of at tradition scored as did James Rennie In the rich mans man s son and he received his usual recognition from the audi audience once ence Arling Aline Allne who officiated as leads during Mr lIr Macks absence re returned returned returned turned to the tho cast last night and did his work In his usual painstaking and brilliant manner Mrs Annie Adams Kiskadden moth mother er or of at Maude Adams and a former actress of some local note appeared In Inthe inthe inthe the cast in a special engagement play playIng playIng playing Ing as the Irish mother of Impulsive Peggy Mrs Kiskadden was kindly re received received by the audience but as the part does not give her much opportunity she did nothing of special importance All of at a Sudden Peggy Is brim full tull of comedy and It ought to be as satisfying to Bungalow patrons as anything the players have ha ve done ORPHEUM THEATRE Two acts each wholly different from the other stand out as the features in inthis Inthis inthis this weeks bill at the Orpheum which on the whole is of at rather ordinary merit But either of these theBe two acts the Willy company or Arturo Bernardi the famous Italian protean whose light change of costume are most amazing is fully worth going to see The bill was quite a bit shaken up last night and was not run off according to pro program program program gram but when it was finished the pa patrons patrons patrons seemed more than satisfied Signor Bernardi Bernard enacts a complete one act play on the stage assuming eight characters In what he calls Escapade There much to the but it illustrates the wonderful rapidity with which Signor Bernardi Bernard can change costumes from the attire of a waiter walter to an Italian grandee and to that of at two women who seek refreshments In Inthe Inthe inthe the restaurant presided over by the waiter The changes of costume complete in every detail come with such rapidity that the spectators can scarcely believe the one man does it all But later ater transparent scenery is used in an another another another other comedy showing the rapid changes of costume and how they are made possible possible ble A man and a woman stand at hand behind the scenes with the changes and andin andin andin in the twinkling of an eye the Italian changes from one garb to another As a unique feature he directs the orchestra from the body of ot the house making rapid changes in his headgear to represent the past masters in the musical world from Wagner Vagner to Sousa making seven changes It is a remarkably clever act Acrobats without number have been seen In Salt Lake at the Orpheum and other places of at amusement but the won work of the Willy com corn company company pany is a revelation The act furnishes a number of at acrobatic feats by b mere in infants Infants infants that is really wonderful Little William Villiam can hardly be more than six or seven years old but his work is that of at an acrobat who has been years in the business For Instance the fellow lies on the floor on his side his whole body rigid when the elder William grasps his hands and raises the body from the floor to an upright position above his head The arms arma and body seem made of wood so BO Irm do they remain Another lad also a child goes through some remarkable feats Here Is Isone Isone isone one of them The elder eider places a piece of ot wood shaped like a cigar In his mouth The little fellow tellow does the same thing And then the lad is thrown up over the head of at the elder one th pieces es of at wood are placed together and the boy Is balanced there In the air by this means The act ends with a bull fight that is a scream the boys acting as the toreadors Mr and Mrs Irs Frederick have a pleasing act called Twilight in the Studio While Is hardly a mas mae ter his work on the violin is above the ordinary and the whole musical numbs number is quiet and restful Wally Risley and Joe Remo appear in The Effects of Opium which is rather good Miss Una Clayton is a winsome little lady and a clever actor but has rather a poor company assisting her in her play of His Local Color William Flemen gets rid of a number of old jokes in a monologue stunt but ex ox explained explained to the audience that he is Just here from New York and has not ered from a cold contracted on the way across the country The explanation was certainly timely The Garden City trio ONeal brothers and Walmsley give some fairly good singing and Jokes that are arc entertaining The Tho bill with the company and Signor Bernardi Bernard is good and will likely draw big houses during the week Both of these acts are certainly well worth seeing GRAND THEATRE I Before an audience which taxed the tho Grand theatre to the limit of its capa cava city last night Theodore Theodora Lorch and company opened a week of ot the delight ful tul melodrama College Collego Chums Chunis a Har liar vard yard story that begins in students quarters at Cambridge then goes into a summer resort of the New Hampshire mountains and ends interestingly In m a fashionable Boston home in College Chums Theodore Lorch is given an ex excellent excellent excellent opportunity to display some clever acting noting and throughout the drama the supporting company proves Itself exceptionally well balanced James Graham Harvard 99 the lead Ing character of at the cast is impersonated ed by Theodore Theodoro Lorch and the por of ot Edward Brumley Is very ably presented by George L 1 Graves They are real collego college chums ready to fight for tor each other In whatever direction the wheel may turn but In the character of Brumley there Is a trace of the black blacksheep blacksheep blacksheep sheep He has haa wronged a girl and then while In the mountains during an out Ing falls In love with the same girl that Graham adores He Ho realizes that he is losing In his attempt to win the affections of the girl when he tries to destroy his chum by the removal of ofa ofa ofa a support from a railing that guards a pathway over a very deep precipice It gives away when Graham leans on It but he Is 19 caught In shrubbery and Is rescued by his hi friends Suspicion falls on Brumley when Graham smiles on his chum exonerating him as he says Oh I was always so very care less that I really deserved being mash mashed ed on jagged rocks The girl that both college love Is Dora Winstan and her part is very ably Impersonated by Miss Cecil Fay who possesses an interesting faculty at stage love making The part of Kate Blakemore the girl pirl who tho loved unwise ly h Is taken by Miss Lillian Brockwell who has a charming stage stape appearance Gabe Higgins who always has a grudge is so well presented by W E Dawes that his Impersonation could not easily be Improved upon while Fred Doty proves Interesting as Martin Un derwood a crippled student of chem F KiN Mis Camilla CaroW Low Lewis take taki th tin part of Elizabeth EUzabeth
