Show "S1NEAD" TONIGHT. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the American Amer-ican Extravaganza company, under the direction di-rection of its proprietor and manager, David Henderson, arrived on a special taain in the city. Since then the carpenters of the Salt Lake theater and the staff of the company have been busy putting in place the four car loads of glittering scenery, unique properties and gorgeous costumes. It takes seven ears to transport the "Sinbad"' company, and some idea of its magnitude can be gleaned from the fact that it can only be presented in four citie3 west of the Missouri river Denver, Den-ver, Salt Lake, Portland and San Francisco. Tne company go from here to Dtuver, end after playing oue week, jump o their home theater the Chicago opera houe. The comppuy embraces all the artistes who were favorites here a year ago with "Tue Crystal j Slipper," and there are a number of new faces. These include Miss Louise Eising, an artist who made herself prominent in the New York Casino production. Mr. Arthur Dunn is another new face, a comedian who during the latter part of last season during the company's northwest tour was the substitute sub-stitute for Mr. Edwin Foy, and made a most pronounced success. Sir. Dan Hart is another addition; he will be remembered as the comical Captain Kidd of Evans it Hoey's '"Parlor Match." Among the dincer- is the name of MUs Frances Martha Irmler, a premiere who has been most extra vagantly luuded in the English and German paper of New York, Chicago and San Francssco. She was a premiere in the King's Theater, Dresden, Dres-den, for years, has danced in Berlin and St. Petersburg, and this is her first season in America. Another newcomer is Henry Norman, Nor-man, who has won the sobriquet of "The Bogie Man" throughout the country by his artistic aud effective interpretation of that song. There is of course in the front rank of the fun makers Mr. Edwin Foy, and little Ida Mulie as the petit wife of Siiibad. There will only be four evening performances perform-ances an one matinee, on Saturday, when of course will be seen hundreds of children to see the beauties of this Americanized English Eng-lish pantomime as the American extravaganza extrava-ganza productions have been called. Lillian Lewit played to a fairly eood house in spite of the hostility of the weather. She i is a clever actress and is supported by a j good company. May she return soon again. |
