Bert Lytell, having finished production of his new Metro picture paused to give the subject due consideration. In Ladyfingers, a story by Jackson Gregory adapted for the screen by Lenore J. Coffee, he is once more cast as an expert cracksman, of a type similar to that which he portrayed in Alias Jimmy Valentine, Boston Blackies Little Pal nattily-attire- is. d Lady-finger- s, The yodeling blues of Lew Wilson was well received and, to prove the aptness of his billing as the variety boy, he also dances a bit, whistles a bit, contributes a bit of chatter and a very little bit of knowledge of accor-deo- n music. Joseph R. Wayne at the organ opens the bill, which runs again tomorrow and the balance of the week.

The noted Spanish dancers, who for sheer pedal artistry make all their rivals resemble wall flowers, headline the new Orpheum vaudeville bill opening Wedensday evening a bill that includes besides the superb artists, three big feature acts and three others of sterling entertainment qualities. The Casinos, Eduardo and Elisa, have just finished a sartorial engagement in the Follies, and they return terp-sichorea- n to vaudeville even more polished artists than before. Their offering, a series of Spanish, fantastic and semijazz dances, reveals genuine artistry. They are nothing short of amazing in their smartness of form, in costuming, manner of presentatio nof dances and in the adapting of their native dances to the spirit of the times in America. Jack Rose heads' the list of features. Hes a comedian and monologist, has the art of entertaining down to a fine point. His popularity in the cast is unbounded, and it is certain that he will carry the same strong appeal for local Orpheumites. Jimmy Steiger assists him at the piano. Thomas F. Swift and Mary H. Kelley offer Gum Drops, a comedy confection that will doubtless make local audiences work overtime in calling for more. Both are real artists in funmaking and their new offering abounds in episodes. Dooley & Storey are on the bill with their Vaudeville a la Carte. They serve a delectable dish that goes all the way down the laugh menu. What they dont serve in smartly done comedy isnt worth mentioning. Gautier brothers will present their Animated Toy Shop, perhaps the foremost and most popular of all canine acts. Their marvelously trained dogs and ponies have a lot of new tricks to mix with the comedy of the brothers. Margaret Ford offers a vocal surprise. She is a stranger here, but critics declare her offering to be very much worth while. She possesses a beautiful voice and atluagh-produc-in- Boston Blackies Redemption. Its true that these crook plays have been among my most successful pictures, Mr. Lytell continued, and I must confess I like my parts in them about as well as any that I have played. I dont believe its because I have a fellow feeling for crooks in general; as a matter of fact, thievery has always seemed to be about the most despicable of crimes. and Is enjoy-vaudevil- 9 There are pet crimes that usually arouse our deepest sympathies, but stealing is scarcely ever among them, except if it is invested with the ro-mani- tc glamor of a Robin Hood and his merry band of cutpurses, or possibly when combined with poetic genius, as in the case of Francois Villon. But usually there is too much coldblooded preparation about it to move our emotions. Nearly all the world sends its heart out to lovers who have thought the world well lost for what theyve gained; uproarous Faltaffian conviviality still warms us; even certain murderers enlist our sympathies. But the crook! We dont quick-bloode- d like him. Then to account for the success of crook plays I think it is because they are usually plays of regeneration. A good man has gone wrong; theres the pity of it. The drama of it is his fight to win back to the light . It is the eternal drama of the fight between good and evil in the heart of man; the drama of ultimate redemption. The lower he has sunk, the more dramatic his rise. As spectators we feel we want to help him; his winning fight is an in--, spiration. At any rate, its fascinating to play the man in the case. Being the best crook isnt the worts thing in the world. Mr. Ly tells t picture, Ladyfingers, will be seen next week at the Loews State Theatre. It is a Bayard Veiller production, with photography by Arthur Martinelli and art direction by A. E. Freuderman. GOVERNOR MABEY ISSUES THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION Governor Mabey Wednesday issued a proclamation declaring next Thursday a legal holiday in Utah and urging that tribute be paid on that day, Thanksgiving day, to those sterling ancestors who gave their full measure of service that posterity might enjoy The the fruits of their sacrifices. proclamation follows: With the people of the world approaching with anxious hope and abiding faith a new order upon the earth, the end of war, this nation has in full measure the blessings for which we return, at this season of every year, thanks to Almighty God, giver of all good. With earnest prayer let us unite in thanksgiving to him for the promise of an era when nations shall cease to take up arms against each other, when the peoples of the world shall adjust their differences without bloodshed, that their swords may be beaten into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, and that they shall be at one before their God.
