Show DRAMATIC NOTES. "Alabama." Few plays have achieved the phenomenal success attained by Autrust Thomas' dramatic dra-matic idyl "Alabama." In it he carries his audience into the midst of the state of Alabama; Ala-bama; he shows them its Magnolia groves, its war relics, its prejudices and its heart; he has written a dramatic poem, simple and , sweet, abounding in interest and pulsing with truth. ... Gloriana. Mr. Charles Frohman has given Salt Lake theater-goers many excellent plays under his direction, but if report is true, it is doubtful if any comedy farce he has yet presented will prove as successful as "Gloriana," which just closed a long and inuii, miii-u j ust cioseu a long anu hjtrhly successful run of nearly 150 nights in New York and twunty-five nights in San Francisco. It is not only a funny and spirited spir-ited comedy, but it-is a continuous laugh from beginning to the end. The situations are excruciatingly funny, the humor clean, a crispness and naturalness of action, not always found in plays of this character. The company, which is the original, has been especially es-pecially selected and is considered one of the cleverest which Manager Charles Frohman Froh-man has yet organized, including such talented tal-ented artists as Mr. E. J. Henley, Miss Henrietta Crossman. Mr. Frederick Bond, Miss May Robson, Mr. Edwin Stevens, Miss M argaret Robinson, Mr. Charles B. Wells, I Mr. Thomas A. Wise, Mr. William Lewis, and William Robeson. "Gloriana" opens the thirty-first regular season of the Salt Lake theater Friday, Saturday Sat-urday matinee and night, September 2 and 3. It has been decided to charge popular prices 25 cents to $1. Sale of seats opens next Wednesday, August 31. |
