H There will bo a carnival of youth- I, fill amateurs at tho Salt Lako thcatro H1 this afternoon and ovenlng, In an op- oratlc extravaganza entitled, "Tho H' i Witch of tho Woods." Indeed nearly H' ' all tho stage aspirants of tho Liberty H. Stako Amusement association aro on-Hi on-Hi listed under tho Witch's banner. H! Every kind of witch nearly threo Hi hundred of them has been gathered HI with a Salem fine tooth comb from Hi tho precincts of witchery, south ot Hi tnwn. Those who think tho (lays of Hi witchery nro past aro mistaken. Old HI Salem town has opened Its gales and Hj Salt Lako today will rovol In witches tho sweotost, merriest band of H witches that over bewitched with H witchery. Now lot us gather ticket- faggots and give these little witches H such a wolcomo burning that tho affair H at Salem will chill tho memory. H & & HJ Tho Sunday funeral services over HJ' tho remains of Walter S. Moss, lato Hj: manager of tho Lyric theatre; wore HJ tho last sad farewells and leave-tak- HJ lngs of his Salt Lako friends. A flcrco H storm raged outside, tho sky was a HJ commotion of snow and sleet, but HJ within tho llttlo undertaking parlors HJ Wnlter Moss slept in his casket, tin- HJ mindful of storm and wind, burled bo- HJ ncatli a fragrant summer of flowers. HJ: Like each of us who plays his part, HJ; whoro all tho world's a stage, Walter HJ Moss had played bis part and Death HJ rang down tho final curtain tho HJ dark, mysterious curtain of the gravo. HJ No, not the final curtain, but rather HJ tho raising of Llfo's curtain upon the HJ now and grander stage tho stago HJ whoro eternity's drama Is played, HJ without epilogue. Hero, whoro wq HJ play our llttlo parts, tho scenes change HJ many times comedy, tragedy and mel- HJ odrama aro tho warp and woof that HJ mako strange weaving and tho pat- HJ torn varies with every day. Tho foot- HJ lights dazzle for a llttlo tlmo and then HJ go out In darkness. But God's foot- HJ; lights, liko tho wondrous candles of HJ tho night, aro as oternal as tho stars. Tho Orphous club covered its artls- HJ, tic brow with musical laurol at tho HJ Monday night concert. Why, In Apol- HJ lo's namo, has this capable organlza- HJ tlon concealed itself so long? Its tlm- HJ1 ldlty, let us hopo, is duo rather to ac- HJi cldcnt than modesty. HJ' Hero wo aro, wandorlng In tho wlld- HJ orness, hungry for musical manna, and HJ tho Orpheus club feeds our cars as HJ they have rarely been fed before. One HJ of tho most gratifying features of tho HJ entlro thing was the willing tribute HJ which Salt Lakers paid Into tho box HJ, otneo. It was a splendid recognition HJ! backed with lucre, of tho club's ontor- HJ' prise in bringing to ZIon such a rare HJ tenor as Mr. Hall and such a captlvat- HJ. lng contralto as Mrs. Sterling. Now, HJ: Oh club of Orphous, do not hang your HJ vocal harps on a weeping wllliow tree HJ show yourselves soon. Remember HJ: niy Injunction, SOON1 Mr. Wm. Guinoy has succeeded the HJj late Mr. Walter Moss in tho manago- BJ mont of Salt Lake's popular homo of burlesque, tho Lyric theatre. Mr. Guinoy has for somo tlmo past held tho position of treasurer of tho houso In which capacity his courtesy and urbanity ur-banity wero always a pleasing box-office feature. Coming as ho does from greater Gotham, tho Salt Lako patrons of tho Lyric may look for metropolitan metropoli-tan enterprise under tho now management. manage-ment. "Daman and Pythias," tho old tlmo classic drama, was presented Tuesday night by a professional and amateur cast. Tho Knights of Pythias, present In groat numbers, wero greatly inter- painted with tho light's and shades of clever characterization. As a political politi-cal study in campaign running and campalghn speech-making "Tho County Coun-ty Chairman" bristles with gingery Americanism. Georgo Primrose and his minstrel cabinet of black diamonds appear at tho Salt Lako theatro Thursday and Friday nights, March 15-1C. Minstrel shows havo been scarco In ZIon and this dark cloud on tho theatric horizon Is indicative of cyclonic fun and stormy merriment. You remember that old army or long ago minstrelsy which marched under tho four banners of Barlow, Wilson, Prlmroso and West? It has been scattered to tho four winds, but Georgo Primrose remains and walks tho merry, laugh-making path as prlmroso as his own namo. Tho box-offlco at tho Salt Lako thcatro BEN DA VIES THi great Welsh Singer who will appear in the TabernacU Friday, March 23. ost'ed In tho noble ethics of tho drama tho fraternity and brotherly love principles being corner stones of tho Pythian order. Next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday Wednes-day nights with a special Wednesday matinee, Georgo Ado's familiar "County "Coun-ty Chairman" will open a thrco nights' convention of mirth and hilarity. The "County Chairman" made a popular hit when In Salt Lako before and should again repeat tho success. We all remember Jim Hackler, tho busy politician, and Sassafras Livingston, tho unctlous darky who promises to voto every ticket in tho field. There aro Jim Hacklors and Sassfras Livingstons Living-stons right hero in merry Salt Lako during election tlrao just tho same kind of follows whom Georgo Ado has will bo busy when minstrelsy hold tho stago. & J The "Baltimoro Beauties" begin a week's engagement at tho Lyric begin-nlng begin-nlng with tho matinee today. Manager Mana-ger Guinoy insists that female beauty with Baltimoro blown in tho cheeks is tho acmo of womanly loveliness. If you don't believe It, join tho Front Row club at tho Lyric tonight tho proof of tho pudding is in tho seeing. They aro not all pippins which Manager Man-ager BIstes shakes from the Orphoum tree, this week', but tho exhibition by tho Dietrich brothers is In Itself a bushel of apples. Those boys perform seemingly impossible feats of strength with perfect easo. I wonder how much of Schwab's steel trust has been ab- sobed by tho Dietrich muscularity? Miss Beatrice McKenzio in a clover llttlo comedy, "A Montana Beaut" has caught on with tho Orphoum hand- v clappors. Happy Jack Gardner, didn't reach town on tho opening night, but, over since Monday night, Jack lands on tho Orphoum stago with both feet they and ho aro making good. Rand v and Byron in their acrobatic comedy " "Rooms to Rent" aro being well received re-ceived as aro tho merry trio Dacoy, Chaso and Adair In "Uncle's Visit." Tho Kinodrome gives somo thrilling pictures in "Tho Hojo Thief." Florence Roberts, always Immensely Immense-ly popular with critical Salt Lakers, will bo seen here, March 17th, In hor now play. Ever since Miss Roberts was lead like an actress-lamb to tho jJj slaughter In tho ill-fated "Ann La-mont," La-mont," I have wished to seo her in j something suitable to hor personality and temperament. For, while Miss Roberts is undeniably gifted, yet', sho has, of lato, suffered In her profession- '' al reputation becauso her art has been stifled with unsuitable dramas. There will bo plenty of "go" in next week's show at tho Orpheum and 5! those with a weakness for dancing turns ought to' book their seats early. Tho headllner will bo J. Francis Dooloy, assisted by Dorothy Brenner and Ethel Rose, who will present "Tho Clubman and tho Dancing Girls," a sketch which has been pleasing pleas-ing audiences throughout tho circuit. Tho second feature will bo Mildred Flora, an eccentric comedienne who indulges in a mixed act in which somo good songs and clever wire walking aro tho features. The Busch family (no connection with tho Annhauscr outfit) consisting of tho father and two children, havo a feature act under the billing of expert gymnasts and comedians which has been pronounced good. Then there will bo tho DcGraw trio, eccentric comedy acrobats in their latest creation, "Foxy Grandpa and Tho Two Bad Boys." Tho other attractions will bo O'Rourko Burnett trio, consisting of mother, father and son, who havo a singing and dancing turn, and Hart and RIchadson presenting present-ing their latest skit "Tho Try Out" Tho Kinodrome will have two new motion mo-tion picture dramas and Willlard E. Weihe Is rehearsing his orchestra in a couple of decidedly good selections. For tho week following Mignonette Kokin, the vivacious llttlo .French singer and dancer, will bo tho stellar attraction- following her two-weeks' engagement In Los Angeles. Tho date of the appearance of Bon Davies, tho great Welsh tenor, at tho Tabernacle has been changed from Thursday, March 22, to Friday, March 23. On tho evening preceding the concert con-cert a reception will bo tendered tho distinguished singer and his estimable estima-ble wife by his Welsh friends In Utah and adjoining states. 4fl HARRY LE GRANDE. - i O i . |
