This weeks new program of songs and dances holds many a clever amusement bit. The opening number, Showing Yankees Londontowm, was written by Grover Frankie, director of The Follydols, and is a piece of harmony that begs to be whistled. Then theres the lilting song and dance fantasy, I Think Youre Absolutely Wonderful, led by Mr. Frankie and Miss Del Estes, one of the clever principles. A song distinctly new to Salt Lake is Come Along to Honeymoon Town, in which the entire com- pany takes part. Frances Theriac repeats his success of last week in his rendition of several of the seasons most popular ballads, while Mary Fladland, prim a donna of the company, registers an instant hit with her song frills. i Two numbers of last weeks repertoire are repeated on the new proThe Wed- gram by popular request, ding Scene and Come Along, Ma Cherie.

SALT LAKE Chin DILLINGHAMS a record of two solid years at the Globe theatre, New York, and heralded as the greatest of all musical comedips. comes to the Salt CIAHLES 7 Lake theatre next Monday and Tuesday with special matinee Tuesday. In the production of Chin Chin the producer, Charles Dillingham, is providing a glorious festival of fun and spectacular attractiveness. Demonstrations of grotesque acrobatic specialties and dancing are numerous throughout this merry musical concoction. Those who heard The Pink cannot Lady and The Little Cafe fail to anticipate with pleasure the prospect of hearing further gems in Chin Chin from the gifted composer, Ivan Caryll. Charles Dillingham long ago established a reputation for good taste in his productions so far as color, light, groupings, music and expression go to make up an ensemble. In the com- pany are clever comedians, talented singers and dancers, besides plenty of beautiful, radiant women. The production in its original New York entirety will be seen here. By the box office returns, the most potent argument in the theatre when entertainments such as this are under consideration, Chin Chin is the greatest and the best. Certainly the most exacting and sophisticated taste will ask for little or nothing more in facile playfulness, pretty dresses, swift dances and prankish amusement than this production has to offer. Ivan Carylls score is rich with ingratiating melodies, and the various stage settings make attractive pictures. Aladdin and his lamp, toys coming to life, Teddy bears dancing and similar things give the watcher the feeling of taking part in a good fairy tale and the recall of the Teddies for more of their amusing dance is expressive of the sort of fun one has through the play.

Wapi, the Walrus, will begin a weeks run at the Gem theatre, commencing today. Probably no person alive has the knack of writing on the psychology oi the relationship between animal and man that characterizes the literary work of Curwood. And in his picture, which was supervised by himself in the Arctic regions in a temperature of 52 degrees below zero, a faithful attention to detail has made this photoplay far more vivid than his story. SCENE FROM THEDA BARAS LATEST PHOTOPLAY FEATURE WHICH WILL HEAD THE NEW MOTION PICTURE AND VA UDEVILLE PROGRA MAT THE CASINO SUNDAY. When Fate takes Delores and a helpless husband into the Arctic regions, she is brought into touch with the dog, who has received the name of the killer from the Eskimos and traders whom lie has frightened through his fierceness.
