company he has ever presented to a Salt Lake audience It has its it weak spots It Is true but on the whole it Is a strong aggregation and balances welL Charles Thornton as Gen General General Genend eral end Faulkner Faukner Is especially strong in his part E ET J Earle Eare as Sandy made a hit with the audience Miss Cecil Fay as Ouray Oura Hackett the stage drivers daugh daughter ter has a part that fits lIts her admirably In It she does better work than of ot old and Miss Camille Lewis was happy as the theold theold theold old lady although the part Is not a heavy one The work of ot Jack Montgomery as Lieutenant Faulkner was disappointing Neither he nor George L Graves measure up to the possibilities of ot their parts Mr Ir Graves Graes as the villain has exceptional op opportunities p and no doubt In time will bring out in stronger contrast the character of ot the cowboy Montgomery has a miser miserable miserable miserable able part at best but he is far from making the best of ot It Much Interest was manifested In the work of Miss Myna Hazleton n Mr I leading leding lady The Impression created last evening was good although It Is clear that the young oung woman has still much to learn concerning the stage She has a pleasant voice olce and good elocution but lack of ot experience in all aI other respects is clearly cearly evident The stage settings are In good taste and effective It is announced that Mr lr Lorch Is to be starred through the east In The Lieutenant and the Cowboy next year rear The play has possibilities and Mr Ir Lorch fits tit into the tile
