It was given for the benefit of the university uni-versity girls in aid of the Gamma Phi building fund. The inient in tho end Is to bujld a bungalow for tho girl students at the University of Utah. Several en icrtainmcnts have been given In aid of this movement. One-half of the proceeds of each entertainment goes to the building build-ing fund, the other half goes to pay expenses ex-penses and to fix up and hotter the vest room for the girls at the university. The pntronesses for the entertainment on Wednesday were Mrs. ,T. T. Kingsbury. Mrs. W. W. "Rlter. Mrs. Byron Cunimings and Mrs. C. S. Kinney. There was fine audience present Wednesday. An orchestra, orches-tra, under the direction of Miss Williams, discoursed music Eleven numbers there were on the pro-grannno pro-grannno and each and every one was worthy. The overture by Miss Williams's orchestra of M.7" students raised the curtain cur-tain and the "U" Mandolin club presented "Selections from Martha" nnd "Life Is a Dream." This was followed by tho malo quartette J. Suinmorhays. Olawson. Dorins and Smith who sang. "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes." and who responded re-sponded to an encore with "Believe Me. if All Those Endearing Young Charms." A very pretty number was the "Folk Dances." by about thirty girls, who, under un-der the direction of Miss Do Laney. gave Hungarian. Swedish. German and Danish dances. The audience was delighted into a wild burst of applause when Miss-Edith Miss-Edith Grant sanr "With Yon." and after continued applause responded to tho call with "Believe." Miss Grant's voice and stage presence show the result of careful study and prae.Iiee. "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" was a clever song by Miss Ida. McKittriek and a chorus of ten very pretty girls. The song is catchy, the costumes were fetching, the "V flags brought forth ehcers. and almost anybody any-body would co to a "U" ball game at the request of the buneh of brightness. The violin solo. "Reverie." by Morris A. Andrews, An-drews, was a high-class feature. His touch and technique place him among those of great promise in I lie musical world. "On. Away, Awake Beloved." was well rendered by John W. Summer-hays, Summer-hays, and again tiro pretly girls and their prettv lpodcr. Miss MeKiltrlck. came Ul'UMU kill' I lVI I In II tr, Hlli" -- Glow Worm," with the eleet.ric.al effects which made a speetaele of kaleidoscopic delight. And yet the most, beautiful number among the dances was the specialty spe-cialty of Miss De Lancy. There was grace, delieaey, rhythm and poetry of motion in the movements of tills young woman, and in both the Spanish dance and the classic Gilbert dance the audience admired nnd envied her poise and perfection, perfec-tion, applauding vigorously and earnestly the artistic beauty of tho dances and the dancer. The last number was the fourth act from "The Cabinet Minister." by the University Dramatic club, under the direction di-rection of Professor Maud May Babcock. and t lie work of the students who trod the boards in this dramatic act gave further fur-ther evidence of the skill of Miss Babcock Bab-cock in her dramatic teaching. The programme was most enjoyable and all present hope, that it may bo repeated re-peated at an early day. a The Lewis & Lake Musical Comedy company will produce for the first time in Salt Lake one of the newest and best musical shows. "The Rollicking Girls," this evening. It will run the balance of the week, with a Saturday matinee. 4 H H Tlie Baa der-La Velio trio at the Or-pheum Or-pheum this week have a. very clever and exceedingly funny bicycle act. There is plenty of earnest work, mixed with good comedy and tumbling. "The Spring of Youth" was made for laughing purposes and attains its end. Tsuda. is a clever Japanese equilibrist. Lotta Gladstone is one of the best character delineators ever seen In the city. it '1 "An Orphan's Prayer" is pleasing large audiences at tho Grand. It is the best melodramatic production this house has had for a long time. This week closes the Arington engagement at the Grand. "The Liars," which the Bungalow company com-pany is giving at tho Colonial this week, is afun maker of the best sort. Entertaining Enter-taining from start to finish, it carries along its audiences in a. gentle ripple of amusement, as one fabrication succeeds another and the situations develop fresh complications. Mary Hall, the leading lady, has before demonstrated that she la a talented actress. |
