Wilton Lackaye, whu Is playing the part of John J. Haggleton in "The Battle" at the Colonial this afternoon and evening, enacts tho part to the complete understanding of the audience, au-dience, and at every moment in tho play has It's sympathy. The part of Gentle, tho Socialist, is very ably taken by T. J. McGrarie. and the balance of the supporting company Is very strong. Orpheum audiences are finding It difficult diffi-cult this week to reconcile tho management's manage-ment's action In tho matter of headlining Miss Rice. That Is, somo of the audience audi-ence feels that way about iu Others are more than satisfied. The truth Is, there are several acts of headline merit on the bill and a person's preference will havo to decide for himself who should be given tho place of honor. The bill Is proving very popular, both In the size of the audiences It Is drawing and In the enthusiasm displayed. It goes every afternoon and evening. As Prof. Ludwig Mooner In "The Summer Sum-mer Tourists" this week at the Daniels theater, Henry Auerbach has one of the hardest and at the same time one of the most successful characters he has portrayed. por-trayed. It Is the role of a simple old German scientist who has gone to a famous fa-mous mountain resort where one humorous humor-ous misfortune after another befalls him. . The Hungarian dancers at the Shu-bert Shu-bert are giving an exhibition of new dances that arc much above the avor-age. avor-age. Those among the patrons of tlje mo-slc mo-slc picture houses about town who have seen the new film at the Luna entitled "Stars and Stripes" pronounce it one of the most dramatic of the season. At tho Isis drama and comedy are splendidly blended and at the Elite tho Indian story, "The Legend of Scar Face," heads a fine programme of pictures and music. Henrietta Crosmnn and her splendid company of players will present that brilliant comedy by Percy Mackaye, "Anti-Matrimony," at the Salt Lake theater, the-ater, commencing Monday, September 5. Tho phonographic recording machine which is lo score the records of the performances by tho tabcrnaclo organ and choir was tested last evening and will he In readiness this (Wednesday) evening. Miss Bernice Golden Henderson, the actress, who succeeded Kathcryn Kael-read Kael-read in the play, "A Fool There Was," will today become the bride of Fritz Augustus Helnze, former copper magnate mag-nate of Montana, the wedding taking place in New York. Miss Henderson is still in her twenties, but has been married mar-ried once before and divorced. She took up a stago career to support a little daughter. "Baby Mine" would seem to bo quite as much of a hit in New York City as It Is in Chicago, where Oils Harlan and Consuolo Bailey have the roles played In New York by Walter Jones and Marguerite Mar-guerite Clark, respectively. "Mother." which was a sensatlor.nl hit In the latter hnlf of last season In Chicago Chi-cago and was seen In Kansas City and St. Louis also, will be produced In New York City by William A. Brady on September Sep-tember 12, with Emma Dunn In her original orig-inal part. Margaret Illington, one of the highest representatives of tho younger generation of American actresses In emotional roles, will be scon at the Colonial theater for a three nights' engagement, beginning Monday.
