April 29 has been set aside as Organized Labor day and we look for this to be one of the biggest days of merry-go-roun- d - the week. Ed Blondell in The Boy From Home, has scored a distinct success, and not a little has been added to the act by his winsome partner, Lela Bliss. Charles Olcott, in Ten at the Minutes of Comic Opera piano, is another strong feature on the bill. Little Mary Ann is a charming singer. It seems impossible that so much music could come from one so petite. One of the most beautiful acts that has been staged at. Pantages this season is the posing act, The Hunt, featuring a man, a woman, a fine horse and two splendid hunting dogs. Fatty Arbuckle, in a film offering, "The Garage, is at his best. The Pantages orchestra adds to the general attractiveness of the bill with several fine selections. The new bill coming next Wednesday offers as the headliner Little Hip and Napoleon. Little Hip bears the distinction of being the smartest and funniest animal actor on the stage. Other numbers will include "The Texas Comedy Four, billed as spick and span singers of sizzling songs; Hawley and Saxton in "Business is Business, the Winton Brothers, acrobatic . thrillers, Bender and Meehan in Drop Us a Line, and Gertrude Newman, "the little jazz girl from Broadway.

Woods will present at the Salt Lake theatre for three days, April 29, 30 and May 1st, with a matinee Saturday, May 1st, has formulated this creed on his art: Every actor must have a timepiece within him. Acting depends upon the player's sense of time in gaining points. PANTAG ES Wednesday-evenin- at Pantages has g been going strong all week.

The comedy of Will Mastin has been keeping audiences good humored, while George McClenon keeps every one in an uproar with his amusing clarinet specialty. Little Virgie Richards wins every audience and they are never willing to let her quit character acting, and the matinee idol must vanish from the footlights. "The elemental and not the mental play is always bound to be the most popular. "Human nature must be the actors Bible. "Art is universal, as even in a German role, I must make an American laugh. The actor should not aim at mere types, he or she should seek to create distinct individuals, such as may be recognized. Recognition of people we know in stage characters is an appreciable part of the playgoers pleasure. There is no higher ideal for stage art than the illusion of reality. Atmosphere is brought on with the first entrance of every member of the cast. Each fresh character should have the value of a new color to the picture.
