Tho Charles Ahearn Cycling Comedians Come-dians presont a novel offoring in which skilful wheeling and genuiuo comedy aro intermingled. This troupe came to the Orpheum circuit 'direct from the London Hippodromo, where they were a feature for one month, and at tho end of their Orpheum engagement they will return to tho Hippodrome for a long engagement. The act is full of laughable features, of which tho finish, which Mr. Ahearn calls "a milo in thirteen seconds," is perhaps the most unique. Fred Ray's Players will present a burlesque on the Roman drama entitled, that house discontinued its engagement with Saturday night's performance, and beginning at 2 o'clock thiB afternoon and continuing through the week, the moving pictures of the famous lightweight light-weight championship fight between Battling Bat-tling -kelson and Ad Wolgnst. held re-CC11LI3' re-CC11LI3' at Richmond, Cnl., will be shown at the Bungalow. The pictures will bo the first of the famous light to bo given locally, and tho management at tho Bungalow has arranged that tho pictures pic-tures shall bo given twice each afternoon after-noon and each evening, tho afternoon performances beginning at 2 o'clock and tho evening shows at 7:30.

LaRoBO and LaGusta are European slack-wire experts, who como with a great reputation for skill and daring, as well as for unique tricks. Al Summers is billed as "Banishor of tho Blues" and as doing "musical acrobatic dancing." Ho is a clever entertainer and has mor. than made good over the circuit. "New motion pictures pic-tures and a new orchestral programme complete the bill. Commencing Mondaj', April 25, at tho Shubert theater, Mr. Willard Mack, iliss Maude Leone and tho entire cast of old favorites, including Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Moore, James Ronnie, Rosa Roma, Reed Clarke and others, open a stock engagement under the management manage-ment of Max Florence, in H. V. Es-mond's Es-mond's story of English domestic life, in Bungalow prices has also boon made, and for tho entire week there will bo but ono adnijssion charged. The Nelscfts-Wolgast light pictuaos are declared to be the best ever taken of a pugilistic event in this country, and the promoters have selected from tho fifty rounds fifteen of tho best rounds of the fight, and only those aro shown, together with scenes in tho training quarters and of tho crowd. The closing rounds are a novelty, inasmuch as the men arc seen fighting into the night. They aro distinctly visible, 3-et they retiemblo a pair of negroes. Referee Eddio Smith can bo plainly scon to graspso hand of Wol-gast Wol-gast nnd raise his arm i'n tho air, thereby there-by declaring him the winner. Tho pictures as a whole are tho finest ever taken of a boxing eoulest, according to the press of San Francisco, in tho Nolson-AVolgast pictures tlio men appear ap-pear in tho ring life-sized.

Mr. Mack produced this play last year at the Bungalow, but he feels thai in repeating re-peating it the public will support him, Nat Goodwin always said that "When We Wero Twenty-One" was tho greatest great-est comedy since the days of Sheridan. The two leading parts, assumed by Mr. Mack and Miss Leone, are two of the best roles that cither ono of theso two , clever people have assumed in Salt, ; Lake. Mr. Moore is cast for "the sol-1 sol-1 dicr mnn," Mr. Rennio is "tho imp." , Mrs. Mooro plays "Mrs. Edccson," and" Miss Rosa Rome 'the firefly." Tho sconery is being painted by Cahill, the company's scenic artist. 'Matinees as 1 usual upon Wednesday and Saturday. 1 . WiUi tho change of ownrship at the ' Bungalow 'theater, t lie stock company at rising at all of tho thrilling points of tho contest. The other features of tho pictures include in-clude tho men in their training quarters, quar-ters, a panoramic view of tho construction construc-tion of tho arena, view of tho crowd tramping through the mud to got into tho arena, a panorama of tho arena, partly tilled, the picture being taken ono and one-half hours before the men entered 'the ring. Everything is clear and distinct. The whole of the contest is not shown, but the fifteen best rounds the feature rounds aro shown, together toge-ther with the latest colorod photographs of Wolgast, Nelson and Promoter lies-, lor. A special .bid is being made bv tho management of the Bungalow for the patronage of ladios during the week. In Denver, where tho pictures were last shown, thousands of women flocked to tho big Auditorium, and it is expected ex-pected this Tccord will be duplicated here, as tho majority of women undoubtedly un-doubtedly have as much curiosity regarding re-garding a prize fight as the average man, and the Nclson-Wolgast pictures are so remarkably clear that they generally gen-erally prove a strong attraction for thoso ladies who want to got sorao idea what a real prize fight looks like. Tuesday evening has been designated as ladies'' nicht, whon a special pcr-formaneee pcr-formaneee will bo given, to which the ladies are particularly invited. Beginning with a Sunday matinoo Salt Lako theater goors will bo served with something that will bo far out of tho ordinary in the dramatic lino dnr-ing dnr-ing tho entire week of April 2-1. Mr. Lorch has secured the greatest of all circus dramas and will present for tho kind approval of tho Grand patrons "The Call of tho Circus." , Tho production produc-tion will bo beautifully staged and mounted and will bo among tho best Productions over put on at tho Grand, 'ho story of tho play is of more than ordinary intorcst, dealing as it does with the life of a child who has been left destitute and alono, its mother having hav-ing died from a broken heart brought on through tho desertion of a husband and father. Tt is under thesp conditions condi-tions that Amy, the child, is brought up amid the noise and tho revelry of circus cir-cus life. While with the circus sho develops de-velops the art of baroback riding, and in time becomes one of tlio features, receiving the applause of tho thousands that galher to witness tho wonderful feats performed by thiB, only a child of the circus. Ono day a stampedo of tho animals takes place and Amy is trampled upon and verj' seriously injured. Sho is taken ta-ken to the homo of a ministqr, where every care and attention is given her, and 'she slowly recovers. During this timo a love springs up betweon Amy and the minister, tho latter tries to persuade Amy to abandon tho circus Fifo and beco'me his wife. Tt is hero that tho story becomes more interesting; interest-ing; as timo rolls on Amy decides to follow circus lifo aud her minister lover does not abandon her. Theodore Lorch will be seen in one of the best roles that he has ever yet attempted at-tempted during his engagement at tho Grand, that of Gordon, the minister.. Miss Cecil Fay will interpret the part of Amy, tho orphan child, and her interpretation in-terpretation of the character will doubtless doubt-less bo tho best that this clever littlo woman has ever given, as the part will b'o suited to her in every way. The balance of the cast will be in good and responsible hands nnd a finished performance per-formance will be given. There will bo new members addod to tho already popular pop-ular company and a record business will no doubt be the result. Everything will be in keeping with the production, new and special sconce having been prepared for tho occasion, Thero will bo in evidence the circus tents, the clowns and all other' requirements require-ments that will add in any way to make tho production realistic. Besides containing con-taining a story of absorbing heart interest, in-terest, there is a bright sparkling vein of comedy which runs throughout the pieco which will brighten tho more in-tenso in-tenso nnd exciting situations nnd give a pleasant relief and at just the right time. Popular prices will prevail and the regular matinees will bo given. At tho Luna theater during tho coming com-ing week the Patho Freres company's biggest film d 'art will bo offered as tho hcadliner. This subject, "Othello," the Moor of Venice, is a magnificent reproduction of Shakespeare's rcmark-ablo rcmark-ablo tragedy. Tho scenes shown wore actually photographed in Venice, and tho various parts played by the leading dramatic artists of Italy. Another feature fea-ture subject on this bill is a production by the Biograph company, depicting a powerful lesson in self-sacrifice, and is bound to do a world of good for humanity hu-manity by portraying in a most convincing con-vincing manner a subject which hae for some timo past been brought to the public notico by column after column in the newspapers, "Tuberculosis," or "The White Plague," as it is sometimes some-times called. "St. Elmo," an adaptation for mo tion picture production from tho fa mous novel ot the sanio name, is an nouncod as tho headlinor at tho Tsis theater for the coming week. Tho popular pop-ular Tsis orchestra promises an unusually un-usually atlractivo programme of both classical numbers nnd late rag-time nov oltics. and tho two illustrated ballads will bo in capablo hands. The Elite theater this week, as usual, offors an excellent programme tho bill being especiall' woll balancoi, and no doubt will prove decidedly popular witJi tho public. Tho feature subject is "Richelieu," from tho Vitagraph studios, stu-dios, and as this company is particularly particu-larly noted for tho oxcellonco of i fca classical productions, something great can bo expected of this number. When tho Mission theater adopted as one of its mottoes, "Get the Habit," Hab-it," it is doubtful if the management anticipated how inanv theatergoers of this citv would nccopt tho invitation. Certain it is that business has boon goiug forward by leaps and bounds during tho last few weeks. That tho increased patronage is largely duo to the high-class bills that aro offered week after week is frankly admitted. Despite tho fact that during tho last two months some of tho best and highest-priced acts appeariug in vaudeville have been shown at the house, the Cromisc is made for oven something etlor. That the bill which will open next Thursday afternoon is one of the best that has vot boon offered, thero can be no question, if one can be guided .by the advance notices which have been received in this city. Ono of the big features of the bill will be the first appearance in this city of the world-famous Balton troupe, composed of five handsomo and shapely young women nnd ono man. This act has created a decided sensation in evory city in Europe and tho United States in which it has been shown. For weeks tho troupe was tho principal feature at the London and Now York Hippodromes. The act is "without question most striking and attractive." The five young women have a striking stage presence and aro drilled to a remarkable degree. All of tho work is dono on rings and trapeze, supported support-ed by one of tho women, hanging head downward from the frame. Her "display "dis-play of muscular endurance is do-, scribed as something remarkable. That the act will create tho same kind of a sensation in this city as it hns in every city that it has appeared, thero is little renson to doubt. The second big feature of the bill will bo tho first appearance in vaude-villo vaude-villo in this city of Roeso V, Pressor, who is so well-known that ho scarcely needs an introduction to music lovers. For two seasons Mr. Prosser was leading lead-ing tenor with Lew Dookstadcr 's minstrels min-strels and won a warm snot among the music lovers of overy city In tho Unit ed States in which ho appeared. On tho present tour he is assisted by Miss Helen Reed, who is said to possess a remarkably sweet voice and a striking stage presence. Collins and Brown aro n couple of Dutch comedians that havo made a decided de-cided hit in every city in which they havo appeared this season. They present pre-sent a Dutch dialect act that is said to( bo far above tho average, together with two good songs. They close" with a blackboard act that is described as a scream. "A Touch of Nature" is the title of a littlo play which will be offered ,.';.-'! WILLARD MACK, At tho Shubert all This Week, Beginning Monday Evening, in "When Wo Woro- Twenty-one." . by Millridgc Shorwood aud company. This littlo play is said to abound in thrilling lines "which never fail to take a hold on the audience when presented in tho capablo manner that tho play is interpreted by Miss Sherwood and her company. Lambert and Williams promise to be another big feature of the new bill. Lambert is ono of the best known eccentric ec-centric dancers on tho stage today. Miss Williams has an exceedingly pleasing pleas-ing voice, which adds much to the merit of the act. The Lclands havo been a feature in tho coast cities for tho last two months. This team offers some sing-ing, sing-ing, some rattling good comedy, and aro not only superb in physique and endowod. with handsome features, but they are trained singers, a rare quality to bo found in tho ranks of show-girln. The handsome gowns worn by Miss Morton's show-girls were all inado in Paris aud they are likely to causo much comment among tho fair sex of this citv when Dorothy Morton appears in "Widow" Jones at the Colonial next week. Tho new programme at the Casino, commencing Monday matinee, is an excellent one. In the vaudeville end, Bartlett and Collins, who present an eccentric comedy skit, are said to be very clever and their act is entirely out of the ordinary. Gentor and Gil-more, Gil-more, billed as the military musicians, aro real artists on tho several instruments instru-ments which thoy play. Tho picture cud of tho programme is replete with good comedy. There is also a Sherlock Sher-lock Holmes mystery and for real fun nothing could equal "Mr. Mix at tho Mardi-Uras." The splondid bill, which has run the past week will concludo with the performance tonight. There will bo three performances this evening even-ing and a matfneo this afternoon. Christian D.

Anna Hold's famous bevy of showgirls, show-girls, who created a sensation in each city in which thc3' were seen, havo been eclipsed by the handsomo women who aro tho show-girls in tho company of Dorothy Morton, tho noted prima donna comedienne who is this season starring with groat success in J.
