sandwiches and talk about how much uch dear grand father did for his beloved state So it as bad as aa it might have been That is Is as widely distributed Ah Ab the tile tragedy of o It all There is some comedy in Cupid at Vassar but the dominant note the motif as the musical critics would rise to remark was tone ful tragedy It cracked op right at the start Two girls love Jove ove the same man He loves love only one otie of them The girl who is not loved is naughty naughty naught She destroys destros a note in which the man tells his really truly love oe that he loves her The plot thickens Believing her ller self cast off the heroine is about to be forced L into marriage with it the u villain A inu lue iU uio Ola nome win Will DC ne sacrificed If it she does not wed him He has horn her mother out of all the money mone they have in the world and then about The worst Is about to happen when hen the hero happens In It was simply wonder ful Another minute and all might have been lost The girl might have married the villain and been miserable But the th villain is ex exposed exposed exposed posed In his true colors or color rather black being the prevailing hue However all does not end happily That Is not yet et though by b this time we know it will be soon There must be another act in order to keep things going until say 1045 In the last act the wedding bells ring out The home

which ii i hK Mr Kyle is s presented sent d Is hardly worthy worth of his powers but as he does It it holds the audience well yell and serves seres as a vehicle for his very ven credit creditable creditable creditable able acting It is a founded foJ on Will VIII poem Gone With a Handsomer Man Ian ana anU as It Is present presented ed It gives gies occasion for a very telling by y Mr Kyle and that Is 15 about all Before the opening act and after the close of the show Mr Kyle was greeted Individually by a great number of his friends and he ha was busy all even Ing In exchanging greetings s with them Hyman Hman Myer made his debut as to Salt Lake last evening and he had a 8 hard time getting away from the audience Mr Ir Myer is billed as a n comedy pianist Tand nd he is all aU of that with some did qualities thrown In His grand opera work kept the house in one continuous uproar and when he came back to show showoff showoff off of his trained chicken he provided new and entertainment at nt every turn Mr Myer will doubtless be wel welcomed welcomed corned wherever cr he be may ma go and surely Salt SaIt Lake will be glad to have him back In any kind of an act ad he may provide Following Mr Myer come two very ver clever clowns whose act is a new one The Nightingales Courtship which h adds greatly u to 0 the fun of the bill Ja Jacob Ja Jacob Jacob cob presents present three clever dogs whose an tics ties are fully as its enjoyable as those of any an of the splendid animals shown at tim the Orpheum within the past few weeks Of 01 course there must be weak spots scots I I In every bill but the woman called Per j i tina Is 15 a little the weakest shown bete hete for some time Her He toe g Is la of the usual mediocre order but not the worst of her A face and figure fI re which might well be bC hidden under a bush bus bushel el 11 or two form the vehicle for about as al a coarse an nn act as can be imagined Theres nothing either graceful er e C dainty in the act and the exhibition of lingerie was Voas ns not even enchanting The other number which might be Je e dispensed with both for decency and good sense put on by bv Bernier and Stella The man might get gt along handed but he has a seri serl serious serious ous OUI handicap A fine set et of pictures and two good musical numbers complete the bill blU Seldom is it the good fortune of an artist to meet with so hearty a recep I I tion as that accorded Harold Bauer Baer Ba er the pianist at the First Methodist church chur h last evening The audience was a critical one and the musicians present naturally compared Beauer with who I recently appeared at the th Tabernacle Judging from the enthusiasm Mr Bauer did not suffer from the comparison Time and time again he tie was recalled recall d and twice was he lIe forced to respond to encores The last encore was after the concluding her ber r on the program when a large larg por poe tion of ot the audience was preparing to depart It would be difficult to say how any I I performer could get more mote out of a plane His range is truly wonderful His Ills touch in the lyrical numbers number was WM as delicate d I II as a spring zephyr and from that through the whole range there seemed to be lit I I tle tie lacking laking to make the e per I itself I First on the program was I Eroica Op Ope SO 50 by MacDowelL As s the program announced this ran through the th gamut from slow show to tender and fierce This ambitious selection by the popular composer gave the audience a clear idea of ot Mr Bauers capabilities and I yet It did not warm to him till tilt the com corn completion completion i of his second number that won composition of Fan Op 12 This was applauded in an ascending scale all through till the brilliant close This was greeted with such a storm of applause that the ar J was forced forc d to respond with an en encore encore encore core From this point on to the close of the program the enthusiasm of the audience increased The third number included the prelude fuge fu e and variation Op 18 by Cesar It was followed by Barcarolle Op Ope 00 GO It Jt Is safe to say that this proved the t favorite
