The character types are of a refreshing originality and Hr there Is a picturesque Interest to the Hk -entire production." o "Circumstantial Evidence" will le the H' ' play at the Grand theater the last half ' of the week.

The Sher-' Sher-' t Iff Is about to spring the trap when a 1 commotion is heard on the outside and the tramp bursts through with a par- don for the innocent man and a war-. war-. . rant for the real murderer, H : W ; "Resurrection." with Blanche Tralsh : I as the star, Ib the announcement or the Salt Lako Theater for March 14th, 15th , end 16th. Tt is a play which has caused , more argument and more diversity of opinion than anything presented in ; 'America in many years, which all goes '. to show that the subject of the play is i sufficiently vital to make people talk T 'and think. "Wagenhals and Kemper Mn ', l)Ookinp the present tour agreed to rc- tain practically the entire original com- i pany and masHive scenic production. B ' 1 j Florence Roberts is contemplating a BW i lone rest, owing to severe nervous strain, and It is probable that she will , not play at all during the coming sum-i sum-i mer. i ' H. In spite of the great antiquity of the period of "Mary of Ma'gdala," in her srreat production of which Mrs, Fiske -will be seen at the Grand theater on l . Wednesday and Thursday, March 16th i and 17th, the times and manners of the people with which that drama deals are carefully apd authentically pictured, 'Great study and pains were necessarv. particularly as to the architectural treatment of tills drama. One scene, Tor instance, a room in the house of the i J thief ure of the play, has boon con W. H.

And a like care has been taken with all the other scenes of the play in which Mrs. Fiske figures. "The Middleman," with W.

"Candida" shows us a dreamy youth, who would be ridiculous and irritating ir-ritating If ho were not so alnroro lr hlg levo for the vicar's wife. But. more than this, we have the perplexity of the vicar himself, nnd the slow process by which, "Candida" comes to the point of relieving all' his doubts about her love for him. Owen Hall brought a ripe experience to tho writing of "The C.lrl from Kay's," and although' ho trifles with ro-mnnco. ro-mnnco. there Is a thread of truth running run-ning through the piece which unconsciously uncon-sciously holds our sympathy. Then Is there one of us who has looked at those "Babes In Toyland" and listened to the Sum song without sight growing dim from thought of chlldleh days long past? Lovo rules the theater, and tho play that Is without It. or that offers an Imitation. Imi-tation. Is doomed to be a failure. Call up the plys that have come and gone thlri winter and reason why they have fallen far short of 100 nights. Many of them were strong In plot and bright In dialogue, but almost without exception they lacked "heart Interest." iUit stop. WhV.t Is that old saw about love and thi world going- around? It is true, every word ci' It. |
