Irene as presented at the Salt Lake theatre Thursday evning was a rare treat lor the lovers of beauty, mirth, music and melody, for it has been many a day since Salt Lakers have had the privilege of attending such a charming musical comedy. There is a story involved in Irene which has to do with adventures of a shop girl, the daughter of an Irish widow, being suddenly transformed into a smartly gowned society bud, by becoming a street model for a fashionable French modiste, who, having heard of the wonders of New York, has come to this country to establish himself, but finds, that he is unknown and that his gowns must be seen to be appreciated. Mme. Lucy, the modiste (who, by the way, is a mere man), is excellently portrayed by Jerry Delaney, whose genius as a comedian is surpassed only by Miss Helen Ship- man, who plays the role of Irene. Irene, the shop girl, persuades two of her girl friends who work in the same store with her to also become 11 models for Mme. Lucy, and as they all live in the same tenement house and do not dare ' tell their mothers the kind of work they are doing, here is where the fun starts in real earnest. At nights, .when it is necessary for them to appear at social functions, in order Mme. Lucys gorgeous to display gowns, they tell their mothers they are going to the movies, and each one wil go to sleep with the other one when they return. One night the ruse was discovered, and Irenes Irish mother, arayed in a gown her (laughter has procured for her from Mme. Lucy, appeared on the scene at an un usually smart and exclusive social affair. During the evening Irene receives three proposals, one from a millionaire social climber, who quickly wtihdraws his proposal as soon as he finds out the popular and charming Miss Irene ODare is only a shop girl. Her Prince Charming, however, looking only through eyes of love, can see the nothing out of the ordinary mother and as Irenes fairy story turns out all right and they live happily afterwards. Irene, the title role, as portrayed by Miss Helen Shipman, as charming a little comediene and song bird as ever delighted the hearts of an audience, is an exceptionally talented artist. Helen Cheston and Jane Gillman, Irenes girl friends, as played by Eri-ci- a Mackaye and Margaret Pidgin, develop into prominent parts, as these girls are wonderfully clever dancers. Henry Coote, who enacts the part of J. P. Bowden, the millionaire social climber, has a splendid high baritone voice of exceptional quality and unusual clearness. The musical hit of the piece is, without doubt, Alice Blue Gown, sung by Miss Shipman; and is featured in several scenes. On the whole, Irene is a splendid big production, the scenery, settings, costumes and music all marking it as a masterpiece in the musical comedy world.
