MABELLB ADAMS, VlOliLNlST, At tho Orphoum all this week Koman enemy, easting bini off fiom lovo, boimr and riehe?. The realism of tho race scene, with its multitude i:i the amphitheater, the shouts of the bottors, tho excitement of the contest itself as the men fly around tlm track, each driving four fiery horses and each inieut on crushing crush-ing "the other aud winning tho goal, almost beggars description. Tbo scebo is enthralling and makes tho blood and breath of tho beholdor pauso for a hecond while interest is centered on the battlo of these iwo strong men nud their mighty steeds. Anolber of tbo splrjndid scenes is that in the Orchard of Palms, where tho Egyptian Iras tries by her seductive- charms to bring Ben'-llur ro forget for-get in the lotho of her dark bcauty li is beloved Estbr-r and tbo high purpose pur-pose on which be is bent. One of tho most picturesque and pleasing scenes is shown iu the Grove of Daphne Daph-ne and the Temple of Apollo, whnro the nymphs re vol and make merry in honor of the pagan god whom thoy worship. In tho last scene of the plaj the whole spirit of awe and reverence is brought to a climax and an exaltation difficult to bolicve of tbo theater. The moment is when Jesus makes bis triumphal tri-umphal entry into Jerusalem. The populace are authored without the gates singing Hosanuas and casting flowers and palm branches in the path-way path-way of the expected king. The actual presences of "hrisl is indicated by a reat wbito light, for the figure of ilesus is never seen in the flesh, but the effects is that of a benediction and the crowds leave tho theater after i th'- iuiprr-'j- enlmiiiat iou of the drama in awed aud reverent mood. Klaw & Erluuger have given "Eeu-Uur'' "Eeu-Uur'' an even more splendid selting this year than ever before, magnificent magnifi-cent as have befui former productious of the drama, and it is this elaborated version of "Bon-IIur" which is to be the attraction at tho Salt Lake theater Thursday, Friday aud Saturday evenings even-ings and Saturday matinee. " i Tho theatergoers should bear in mind that late, comers will not bo seated until the conclusion of the prelude, pre-lude, and that the curtain is raised precisely at S o'clock on evening performances per-formances and at 2 o'clock at tho matinee.

After spending over six months awaiting a settlement her atornevs advised her to go home, which she did. This was some eight years ago aud neither she or brothers has ever as yet received one. penny from tho estate. So. as Miss Leone sny3 ! herself: ;lt docs not make much difference dif-ference whether I get it now or not. I owe i all to the lawyers, who aro working on it v.-t." A ft or her return to tho States Miss Leone secured the road rights in tho Middle States to produce Mrs. Leslie Carter's success, "Zaza." a parr in which sho was particularly par-ticularly successful. It was during this tour thot Miss Loouc made her I eelebratod speech to tho Ohio and Pennsylvania coal miners at Wilkes-j Wilkes-j burro. Pa. She had always hold some rigid ideas of her owu concerning tho labor unions anil their rights, and bav-; bav-; ing been presented to John Mitchell, president, ef the union, bo invited her to address the. delegation, which she , did. And to this day Miss Leone is , tho most popular young woman in the l state of Ohio and Ponnslyvania. Af-er Af-er her season iu "Znza" sho and 3lr.

"It is rather a curious fact." remarks Miss Leone, "but Mr. Mack bad becu ahead i it me playing John Storm in the ' ' hritian ' for two or three months, and 1 bad never sceu him. whou one Sunday morning wo wcro having a par- tienlarly long .pimp and we had to change cars nt Troy.

And from that moment," . continues Miss Leone. "I know- wo I were two souls with but a single ' thought." I - l ' This (Sunday) cvoning will seo the return engagement for tho last timo in several weeks at. the Grand theater of ; the popular Walter Armin company, that organization which two weeks ago ! proved such a pleasant surprise to the i mauv patrons of that playhouse. The : coospnny came to Salt Lake unknown, but ono performance was suflicieut to show how really excellent each incm ; i ber was and bow perfect and pleasing their performances were. The opnuing bill for their return ongaccmeut Sunday ovening will be Hal Hoid'a well-known story of the Virginia hills. "Roanoke," and no prettier drama has ever been written or staged thau this romance of old Virginia. Situated us the story is, among the forests and hilltops of that quaint old southern state, the piece breathes of tho fragrauco of the preen slopes of the hills, and there is a . wholnsomcness, a touch of rugged, home- j ly sentiment and an absence of the drawing-room niceties that appeal to : tho jaded playgoers. The story, a sim- I pie, yet pleasing, one. while full of j heart thrills, has none of the cheap claptrap clap-trap effects and is told in a direct I aud telliug mauner, and its characters j seem to bo real, living, personages, which fiud a lasting place in one's mem- ory. The play is one that, is but little , known throughout the west, but it bas i received the emphatic, stamp of eastern ' approval. It is hardly necessary to ' speak of the mombers of the Armin I company, as each aud every one .is ; favorably known, and will be seen in I roles osnecially suited to their reaper live ability. "Roanoke" will bo seen I the first half of the week at the Grand j theater, with a family matinee on Wed- i nosday afternoon. The last half of the week -trill be given over to the dramatic dra-matic oastcru success of last season, "Tbo Avenger." Tbo regular Orphoum patron of this city will find it hard to believe that the Orpbeum nhow for next week is to bo better than any of its predecessors of this soason, 3'Ct that' is .ins!, what Manager Winch announces ' for this week's show. It is a classy bill in every respect, with much variation aud merit. Tho toplinor is iu every respect, a real hcadliue attraction: it is au in-tousely in-tousely dramatic playlet, "Tho Operator." Opera-tor." Tho critics bavo been unanimous unani-mous in pronouncing this sketch (he best one-act drama on tho stage. There ia not a useless line nor a superlluous , motion or aot. or situation during tho f whole ,pluy, every movement, word and j gesture bas a definito aud positive meaning thai expresses something. This act is staged so as to take place in ' a railroad station iu tho Nevada desert, j and tho plot deals with a fatigued operator oper-ator who gives a mistaken train signal I aud with a woman's heroism and nerve. Tho play is written by Charles Ken-yon, Ken-yon, and tho actors arc Lyster Chambers, Cham-bers, who is well known in Salt Lake City, and Clara Knott, who is also no stranger here, aud in tbo bauds of this able pair a real treat is in store for those who enjoy tho artistic, and intensely in-tensely dramatic in vaudeville. Next comes Jlallen & ILiycs, two dancing comedians, who como hero directly from London, where they filled a most successful suc-cessful engagement in tho Empire theater. the-ater. Theso men aro clog' dancers, without with-out superiors either at- homo or in foreign for-eign lands. Not only do they dance effectively, but thc3 have some bright, clever dialogue, parodies and stories. "A Deal on Change" is tho offering of Ernest Van Pelt & Co. This is a comed3' sketch of the best variety, with a clean, wholesome, witty, quick, live-ly live-ly action and movement. Tho action takes place in a modern broker's office of-fice and overj-thing moves in the Twentieth Twen-tieth ceutury strenuous 6t3'lc. Mr. Van .Pelt, baa been hero before aud created a very favorable impression. A musical musi-cal number of much more than ordinary ordi-nary merit will be introduced by Ma-belle Ma-belle Adams. Ono critic has called Miss AdamB "tho Melodious Galatea," and she is a muBiciau of high rank. She is a gifted violinist, with a classical and popular repertoire. For a number num-ber of years sho was soloist with various vari-ous New York bauds, and at one timo ' she was concert mistress of the Syra- , cuso Symphon3 orchestra. Not onb on ' account of ber music is she destined to ' be popular, but. her costumes aro said to bo things of beauty, that always win favorable comment. Tho "Gladiators Grotesque," as MorriB & Morris st3lo themselves, aro two European acrobats with an euviaUle record -in Eugland, Germany, Austrin. Russia, Spain, Don-mark, Don-mark, Norway, Portugal and Sweden. Tho vehicle in which thoy nppear is called "a clean sweep in comed3" and "fun on a broom handle." There is a little of everything iu their work and it abounds in pautomino ami acrobatic feats, with the comedy part largely pre dominating. That distinguished traveler trav-eler and lecturer. Mile. Toona, will be seen and beard in her illustrated, lecture lec-ture on tho groat southwest. She is an entertaining talker, with a wonderfully picturesque imagination, and her illustrations illus-trations aro artistic gems. A couple of spcedj' dancers, who aro also eccentric eccen-tric comedians, arc Black and Jone. Some one has said of them, "They are clever, able entortuiuers by name, nature na-ture aud color." Their act abounds in all of the characteristic pastimes of the levee. After their tour of tho Orpbeimi circuit they return to London for a pro-trnclod pro-trnclod season. Two new films, depicting de-picting interesting and amusing sut jects, will bo displayed by the kino-drome kino-drome and tho .iustly popular orchestri will be hoard in three numbers, which completes a bill that seems in every wa3 to bear out the promise of t L e manager, that it will be a winning show. The managemcut of the New Lyric theater announces that, for the holidays, holi-days, at least, thcro will be a common price of teu cents all over the bouse to seo the Cameraphone, a concession that will moot with favor. Tho Camoranhonc company has found favor in Salt Lake, and Vr-hilo the profits have been large, i the management fools that the patronage will appreciate a reduction in tbo prico of admmission for the holidays. Coming Com-ing with this announcement is a bill par excellence that was given its premier vestorda.y afternoon. Grace Camorou leads the bill with the famous "Dolly Dimples" song, from "Tiff Patf Pout," an Italian character foug, "Good-Bye, Antonio." She bas long beeu a priino favorite, and ber appearance appear-ance with tho Camerapbone will doubtless doubt-less be the signal for crowded bouses at cver.v performance. There is also a clever English comic sketch by the "Terry Twins." An Indian serenade. "Wild Deer." is a pretty thiug aud artistic. There are also two veo' clever playlets in "Fun in the Kitoheu." and "Tho Coming Man," both of which arc brand new and novel. With the list of Canierphono features thero are a number ot silent picture numbers that add to the excellence of the general programme. Fashion has now takou hold of "The Devil." Molnnr's remarkable psychological psycho-logical play, which will be seen in thi.- cit.v, during tbo week of December '27, and Devil ties. Devil shirts. Devil vpm. and other articles of Devil apparel, all in the most brilliant rod, have become the rage in New York City. This craze for things bearing tbo Devil color has evou gone, so far as to cause tho introduction of bright red buttons no white vc?t& aud oeu on shor. It i THE CilTXdoS In "Tho Iloncymooners." not often a crarc of this kind takes possession of the male portion of creation. crea-tion. Usually it is the women who yield to the passing fancies of strange and peculiar fashions. This -was exemplified exempli-fied last -winter during the early days of "The Merry Widow" crazo iu the metropolis, when all kinds of female wearing apparel wero popularizod under un-der tbo namo of Merry Widow goods. An echo of this craze is stdl exhibited in the mammoth Morrj'. Widow hats, which aro so popular with the up-to-date girl. Some of tho men's wear which is being shown in tho New York shops in tbo bright red designs is very natty, although rather startling by rca- son of its glaring color. Tbo red four- iu-bands aro especially effective and i woru with au opal or other light-stone stickpin, thev present, an appearance i that is most attractive. The red vests have an extra attractivcuess in tho fact that they are worked with little suggestions sug-gestions 'of bis Satanic Majesty's tail around the pockets and the bufclou-holes. bufclou-holes. Tho demand for these novelties in Devil wear has beeu quite unprecedented, unprece-dented, and there is uo doubt that bc- fore the winter season bas advanced very far. the craze will be a general one all "over the United States. |
