P.ypcr o the Salt j Lako theater is at his desk hard at work arranging for the opening oi! the ! popular playhouse, which occurs Sep-.! Sep-.! tcmbor 5. The first attraction will bo thn American actress. Henrietta Cros-man, Cros-man, who will give Salt. Lakers their ! first opportunity of hearing her new oomcdv entitled ' 1 Anti-Matrimony." This play has received the endorsement I of the metropolitan press and is said ! to be full of interest. In speaking of his 1910-3 1 plans, Manager Pvner said: "Don't lot; the IS Salt Lako public cot the idea that the Salt Lake theater is going out of busi-j busi-j boss. We have been hero nearly fifty i ' years, giving the public the best that i could bo secured for tho intermountain region, and we will continuo to present the best that cau bo found. While the first class business will bo divided this year betweon tho Salt Lako and Colonial Colo-nial theaters, wo expect to keep up our past reputation in presenting tho .best the country affords. We will have at our command the productions of Charles Frolnuan, Klaw & Krlangcr. David Da-vid Bclasco. Mrs. Fiskc. "Henry Miller, Charles Dillingham, Augustus Pilou, Frederic Thompson, Henry B. Harris, Cohan & Harris and others. With such names to conjure with, our patrons may bo sure they will not be disappointed. Tho old theater is peculiarly adapted to the great productions, and the horse shoo arrangement of tho auditorium conduces to the sociability which lias always been a characteristic feature of the Salt Lake theater. "During this season we will include in our productions such new successes as 'Tho Spendthrift,' William Gillottc, Henry Miller's plays, Frances Starr, Rose Slahl, Lillian Russell. John Drew. Jack Barrymorc, 'The Threo Twins,' and a long list of plays of this class. Our policy, however, will be to an-1 an-1 nounco our plays as they como along I rather than to advertise the whole sca-I sca-I son's bills." I! A bill that is certain to rank with J the very Lest of tho year is promised I by tho'Orpheum management for the ! coming weok, beginning this afternoon. The new bill contains several acts that ' have been headlined elsewhere, and no act is weak. It is always welcome news to patrons of Orpheum "theaters to hear ' of tho coming of Will M. Crcssy and Blanche Dayne, who have established A 5 reputation for artistic and original ij charactcri7.ations which will bo classed h i in theatrical history with tho accom-r accom-r plishments of Denmau Thompson, the j late James A. Heme. Sol Smith Russell, j Madge Carr Cooko and Ro'so Stahl. The V , presont tour of theso giftod stars is in fc j tho nature of a special event, as Mr. j Crcssy and Miss Dayne liavo. since their i last appearance in the west, appeared ' in New York in Mr. Crcssy 's three act rural classic, "The Village Lawyer," and as there is a big demand for his renewing his starring tour in tho east, this is likely to bo his last vaudeville . engagement for eoino time. Mr. Cressy i and Miss Dayne will present "A Vil-i Vil-i lage Lawyer" hero. : Loio Fuller's "Ballet of Light" is P another big act to bo given precisely S as it was in New York and Boston. In rj noth cities it was a. tremendous success, i With MisB Fuller is a company of young t women. Myriad bursts of light will illumine the dancer's every move. Ev- ery mood of tho dancer will liave suit j able prismatic accompaniment, the slow, j languorous movements of tho orient, tho j maddening whirl of tho gay pas soul, the sinuous swaying of the Spanish fandango and the prim movements of tho old English dances. The comely, I "barefoot maidens with Mis3 Fuller dis- port themselves in a severely Hellenic garb and interpret tho work of the masters. Now a Greek symphony, then a Viennese waltz, again a bacchanalian carnival suite, anon a Russian folk offering of-fering and again a Norwegian gnomes' revel in Vikinf? halls. I Captain Maximilian Graber and Misa , 'Adelma's equestrian review is the latest lat-est importation of the Orphcum circuit f from Europe, and it is one of the most important animal acts ever brought to ' America. Although there are but three animals, an elephant, a horse and a pony, they aro put through a series which shows tho limit in animal training. train-ing. The rapidity with which they do their work makes it all the more pleasing pleas-ing and entertaining, there being none A of the waiting, or coaxing which is so frequent and annoying in similar acts. Each of tho three animals does its part in a manner which captivates tho audi-: audi-: ence. t Lee Lloyd and Jay Roberts are two , joung men from San Francisco who aro making their first tour of tho circuit. ' They made a tremendous success in the coast cities and they are heralded as sure winners. Their act is a mixture ' of piano playing, impersonation and comedy dialogue, i 1 The Olmsteads. billed as "pl'sical . i culture experts," are a trio of mar-velously mar-velously developed people. Father, mother and son. tho latter a babe, all contribute to the success of the act. .i The baby is described as the world's youngest athlete. He docs tricks and performs feats of strength seemingly impossible. Van Brothers have a premier act, presenting a musical turn. On the sax onhone and other wind instruments - c these gentlemen provo themselves capable cap-able of producing good music. There is a strong vein of fun running through (wio act produced by tho smaller Van, whose fad in "Chinese money" with his brother Jimmy as a side issue. Tho Vans have an act that will bo appreciated appre-ciated by all Orphoumitos. The Dennis pair uro fine athletes who present a difficult and scnsutional novelty on a revolving ladder. Tho idea is new and olovorry worked out, with a finish in which they hang by their feet while tho lndder revolves rapidly. rap-idly. There will bo now moving pictures pic-tures and a new program me by the orchestra. or-chestra. Yet another departure in musical comedy com-edy awaits Salt Lakers at the Shu-bcrt Shu-bcrt theater this weok. Mr. Curtis has evolved a rather startling innovation of a western play interspersed with so much good music and new songs as to form a dolightful combination of the two, tho themo of seriousness running through tho play combined with tho melody and lighter features to such a degree as to niako the whole a splendid little show and so entirely different from aiii'thiug that has been seen hero in its line that it cannot help but provo one of the strongest drawing cards of tho week theatrical among tho local houses. The new Curtis show is entitled "Tho Cowboy Girl," and its author has drawn his inspiration for tho story from tho immortal writings of Bret ifartCj whose romances of tho westorn mountains and plains will live for all time. All the vividness, stirriug E'ecnos and truthful portrayal of those types of men and womon who graced tho frontier in tho days of '49 and '50 and whoso loves and hates, and fun made life worth living liv-ing then dospito its roughness, has Bret Iiarte's wonder brain put into print, and they have been retained in the writing writ-ing of "Tho Cowboy Girl," and iu addition its author has givon to his story a simple directness of purpose and action that brings to every line and situation sit-uation and every character of tho story an atmosphere of the old west and tho days thereof that are so rapidly fading before the advance of modernism. Gone aro tho cowboys and Ihoir fellows from the western ranges and with them have passed tho scenes in which they lived the fleeting years that brought them nearer tho time when they should pass with the other institutions that mado tho old west beloved by all who knew it. And with such incidents tho story of "The Cowboy Girl" deals. The girl has been left an orphan and with a lot of character and bravery has inherited from her fathor a typical western saloon sa-loon and gambling house called the Ranchmen's Rest, where tho cowboys, the Indians. Mexicans. Chinese and tho horde of other western characters are wont to gather for their gambling carousals, ca-rousals, tho pleasures of tho dance hall and the refreshments which find their way across the "Girl's" bar. In the midst of the rough life about her the "Girl," however, keeps herself aloof from the sordidncss of hor surroundings surround-ings and one quickly realizes that under the rough oxtcrior "there is a world of good in tho little woman who has assumed as-sumed the responsibilities and management manage-ment of an institution that would tax tho courage, nerve and capabilities of tho strongest man about her. The story is unconventional in tho extreme and with its characters forms a remarkably clear-cut and dramatic story. Tho intensely in-tensely dramatic situations follow each other with rapid succession and interspersed inter-spersed with them is a vein of humor typicnlly western in its character which carries the story along in tumbling fashion and relieves the somberness of its seriousness. And into tho original story Mr. Curtis Cur-tis has introduced the novelty of catchy songs, chorus dances and musical specialties spe-cialties that will make "The Cowboy Girl" one of tho cleverest Bhows of the season. m With the return of J. C. Wolfo, special spe-cial representative for Max Florence, general manager of tho Shubert and other Florence theaters, from New York-yesterday, York-yesterday, plans were consummated for tho winter season of the Curtis company com-pany at tho Shubert. Mr. Wolfo brought back from tho east with him the playing play-ing rights of twenty and more of the very latest musical successes sung on the New York and Parisian stage, and in addition has secured several newj artists ar-tists for the companj who will be seen in the cast immediately after the first of the month. The new shows that will bo put on then will be bigger and better bet-ter than anything yet attempted by the Curtis organization. For the second attraction of the Tegular season, tho management of the Colonial theater annouueo what they consider ono of the very strongest offerings of-ferings the independent managers have to present, in the person of America's favorite actor of roles requiring physical phys-ical power and forceful personality, Mr. Lackaye, who will be seen here- for three nights and Wednesday matinee, commencing Monday evening, August 29, in Cleveland Moffctt's powerful play, "The Battle." For one entire season Mr. Lackayo presented "The Battle" at tho Savoy theater, New York, with such bucccss that last year ho moved his scene of operation to tho massive Academy of Music, where "Tho Battle" had a second and even more successful engagement, his managers, man-agers, Liebler & Co., stating that the Lackayo engagement brought greater, receipts to the historic academy than any other attraction with tho single exception ex-ception of David Warfield. As everybody every-body familiar with things theatrical knows, "The Battle" treats of the old, old question of classes vs. the masses, but from a new and decidedly interesting standpoint, and Mr. Moft-ett's Moft-ett's deductions as to tho ultimate outcomo of tho struggle are certainly novel to sav the least. Mr. Lackayo will bo supported by the entire Now i York, company, including Mr. E. M. Holland, Mr. Harry ll.illiard. Mr. Gerald Ger-ald Griffin, Mr. Charles S, Abbe, Miss Clara Blandick, Miss Julio Hcrno and other noted actors and actresses. Tho advance salo will open Thursday, August Aug-ust 25, at tho box office. After having boon dark for several weeks, during which time tho interior of tho house lias boon completely rcno-vated rcno-vated anad altered, tho Elito "t heater opens its doors this week with a splendid splen-did program of motion pictures. The alterations to the house have included the cntiro changing of its interior, ror decorating and improving the theater to a point where it is easily one of the prettiest, most comfortable and convenient con-venient moving picture houses in tho entire west. Tho seating arrangement is unexcelled and overy facility has been provided for presenting there the finest motion picturo bills obtainable. Tho color scheme of the interior is exceedingly exc-eedingly pretty and tho woodwork harmonizes har-monizes beautifully. Tho bill of motion pictures, illustrated illus-trated songs and music that has been picked for the Luna this weok will no doubt provo ono of tho most popular programmes of many weeks, for in the selection of l!ie various films, General Manager Florence has given the patrons pat-rons of the house the very best in comedy and drama at his command. The chief comedy is entitled "Twa nieland Lads." "St. Paul and the Centurion" i's the film which has been picked as the headliner for the new motion picturo programme at the Isis this weok and it is surely one of rare dramatic value. Tho programme includes several very good films of groat; interest and newj illustrated songs and music. Tho bubbling of effervescence and gaiety spirit which uro always such delightful features of Hcnriofta Cros-man's Cros-man's acting, and which aro exhibited to bottor advanatgo than ever before in " Anti-Matrimony," tho brilliant comedy by Percy lackayo, which sho will present at tho Salt Lake theater throcdays, beginning Monday.

CRESSY Who Is Starring in His Own Play, "A Village Lawyer," at the OTpncnm xv- ginning This Afternoon. but arc part and parcel of Miss Cros-man's Cros-man's personality That is why sho loves to evoke the happy god of merriment merri-ment in her plays, unci why she is always al-ways making a plea for tho potency of laughter and good cheer. f 'There is moro tonic virtue in a good, healthy laugh," says Miss Cros-man, Cros-man, "than in all the herbs and medicines medi-cines concocted by man. Whcro laughter laugh-ter begins, tho blues take hasty flight and melancholy disappears as if by magic. A noyous peal of laughter sends tho red blood coursing th'rough tho veins, brings the bloom of health to tho cneek and a twinkle of gladness to the eye. A hearty laugh is the beacon light which show's tho way to tho sunny paths of joy and happiness. "If I were a preacher I would preach the gospel of optimism, and as an actress I always try to secure plr.v o that aro rife with opportunities for smiles and laughter. A laughing, happy hap-py audienco means more to mo than all the fulsome praise for a part well played. Never miss' an opportunitj' for laughter. It makes you and others happy and brings you to a realization that the world is not such a bad place after nil, but, on the contrary, a merry old spot, full of brightness and good .cheer, if we only take advantage of our opportunities for happiness." It is hard to count tho laughs in "Anti-Matrimony," but they come so fast that they seem to bo one long, drawn-out chuckle. Mary Roberts Riiiohart and Avery Hopwood, authors of tho phenomenally successful comedy, "Seven Days' have parted professionally and instead of writing another play together each is writing ouo soparatefy for Wagon-hals Wagon-hals & Kemper. ? ' Until Wednesday night, Auugst .'I. the record at the Casino in Asbury Park, N. J., was held by Grace George. Then "Seven Days" wrested it from her. At this porfonnance of the comedy Micro wore four hundred more persons in tho theater than ever boforo had been crowded into it. iAs that was the fourth performauacc of tho engagement engage-ment it appears that those who had scon tho comedy were "boosters"- for it. Tho unique Green Book Album for September contains as its leading literary lit-erary feature a comploto novelette based ou Tom Barry's brilliant play, "The Upstart." Tho issuo may readily be identified among all the other magazines maga-zines by its charming portrait cover of Miss Julia Marlowo. As an added pictorial pic-torial featuro ono notes a portrait in full color of Miss Maude Adams as Rosalind, Ros-alind, tho part sho played recently in the Greek theater of tho University of California. Among tho attractivo articles ar-ticles in the September issuo ond notes "The Summer Girl Shows." by Chan-ning Chan-ning Pollock; "A Forecast of the Now Season," by .Tolpson Briscoo: "Elizabethan "Eliz-abethan Vignettes," by Charlton Andrews; An-drews; "At Homo With Prince Dan-ilo," Dan-ilo," by Graco Cleveland; "Women Dramatists," by Shirley Burns; "When a Dramatist Marries," .by Vandorhcy-den Vandorhcy-den Fyles, and "Suninior Stock in tho Sunny South," by Abigail Marshall. Prominent among the player contributors contribu-tors to tho issuo are Thomas W. Ross, Annie Ycamans, Hermann Lieb, Rich ard Carlo and Emma Dunn. Tho most comploto forecast of the coming dramatic season that is published pub-lished may bo found in tho Green Book Album for September. Word has been received from Maucf Leono from Omaha that sho is rapidly regaining hor health, at tho present timo visitng with her mother. Miss Leono will tako hor company north in Soptombor, and after playiug a two-weeks' two-weeks' engagement at Dnluth, she expects ex-pects to, return to Salt Lake, bringing her mother. Sho will make this city her permanent home. In speaking of a recent offer made her to play an engagement en-gagement in New York, she says, "Salt Lako is good enough for inc." Pittsburg playgoers have- fallen in love with Mary Hall, who was tho leading lead-ing woman in the Willard Mack company com-pany at the Colonial and Bungalow theaters in this city early this year. is what the Dispatch has to say about liar on the eve of her departure from that city. Says the Dispatch: "Since coming to Pittsburg Miss Mary Hall, the talented i"ading woman of the Harry Davis stock Jompany, through her uniformly clover- adiag, has won a warm place in tho hearts .f tho patrons pat-rons of tho Duqucsne theater the Grand Opera house. Miss Hall has swoct personality, which has appealed to all who have seen her on the stage, while those who have .been fortunate enough to meet her personnllv have been charmed to find that sho is iuqsc unassuming in hor manner when not portraying some character back of the footlights. As one young woman who helped mako up a party at a dinner given last week in honor of Miss Hall put it, 'Why, I never would dream that she is an actress. During the dinner sho never referred to the stage, but proved a most delightful conversationalist. conversation-alist. She soon demonstrated that she is well versed in current events, and it did noj; take the rest of us long to discover dis-cover "that she knows what is taking place in the world from affairs of state to gossip concerning those who are tr'-ing tr'-ing to solve the problem of aerial navigation.' nav-igation.' Iu view of the fact that Miss Hall has made so many warm friends and gained so many ardent admirers, it is not to be wondered at that sho is to bo tho recipient of many little attentions atten-tions during farewell week at the Grand. Her friends havo arranged to be present in force afternoons and evenings, even-ings, and the3' have mapped out a num- ber of little surprises for their favorite- " If 3'ou'vo got something good. Salt Lakers arc not. long in finding it out. Tho Mission theater lias boon open but one wcclc with personally censored pictures, pic-tures, but during that time business has rapidly increased until now tho little lit-tle theater is thronged nightly. It is hard to believe that a bctterbill could be concocted than last week's programme, pro-gramme, but it is a fact that the second week "goes it ono bettor." The featuro fea-turo of tho bill that opened yosierday afternoon is "Lost in the Soudan. For photography and action this picture pic-ture is oue of tho best ever aeon in Salt Lake, and really is as great a film as "Ranch Life of tho Great Southwest" of last wook. Tho other pictures bal-anco bal-anco tho programme evenly. Miss Millie Mil-lie Williams has been engaged by Mr. Clark, and is now singing tho latest successes under tho spotlight. Rarely docs a theatrical season open with a decided dramatic sensation, and yet tho vAiiiorican debut of A. E. Matthews Mat-thews in Charles Frohmau's first production pro-duction of tho season, "Love Among the Lions," could bo considered nothing noth-ing less. The leading dramatic critics in New York were enthusiastic in their praiso of him, some of them hailing him as an even greater light comedian than Charles Hawtrov. Although Mr. Matthews has toured overy English-speaking English-speaking country across tho seas, and has gained pronouned successes in Paris, Vicnrm and Berlin, he had never beforo played here. His success last Monday night at tho Garrick theater in Now York Cit3 was instantaneous. Tho rapid riso in salaries was brought vividly to the mind of Oscar Hammer-stoin Hammer-stoin recently. "A playbill was unearthed un-earthed at tho Victoria. It was a programme pro-gramme of tho Olvmpia in 1891. The program includes Marguerita, Sylva at $100; Adgie, $250; York and 'Adams, $100; Irene Franklyn, $75; T. Nelson Downs, $7n; Bello Hathaway and her monks, $75; Romalo Brothers, $100; Hcrr Von Palm, $Ju; Cogia and Davis, $75; Williamson and Stone, $80. Today To-day Mile. Sylva is in grand opera nnd Irene Franklyn receives moro money than tho entire bill, being -with ono of Low Fields 's shows at $1000 per week. Bessio McCoy, wroso dancing and singing in "The Threo Twins" gave hor an unusual distinction, is to be raised to stellar honors next season by Charlcs Dillingham, "The Echo," which Richard Carlo used for a brief period toward the close of last season, is to bo the vehicle. It is common rumor ru-mor that Bessie is shortly to marry the well-known short story writer, Richard Harding Davis, just as soon as the di-"vorce di-"vorce proceedings' aro over which will sover the bonds now binding the writer to his presont wife. "Madame X," tho most widely discussed dis-cussed drama of recent years "which Henry W. Savage will presont at tho Colonial theater here during the present pres-ent season, was originally produced at tho Theater Porte Sto. Martin iu Paris lato in 1907 under the title of "La Femine X" with Mme. Jano Hading in the title role. It scored an instantaneous instantane-ous 'triumph and was the rago of tho French capital for over a year. "Madame "Mad-ame X" comes here closely following '"is sensational season long run in Chi-ea? Chi-ea? and in New York. Dainty xo Barnett, ono of tho most popular soubroitcs who ever reigned at the Princess, has been selected to create tho principal soubrctto role in the Leo Dietrichstein-Vincent Br3an-Arthur Pry or musical comedy, -Minga Boo," which John Cort will produce in Now York next October. In tho meantime, however. Cort has loaned her to Harry Askin, for whom sho will soubrctto in "The Sweetest Girl in Paris," which goes on at tho La Sallo opera houso in Chicago at tho end of this month. "I havo every reason to remember 'my debut on the stage," said Sir Charles Wj'ndham in a recent interview. inter-view. "In tho first place, John Wilkes Booth was in tho samo company. We opened at Washington and I appeared as a character who had to declare 'I am drunk with love and enthusiasm.' Having uttered the first three words, I was seized with stage fright and said no more. This is what I read in a New York paper next morning: 'A Mr. Wyndham represented a young man from South America. ' Ho' ahd better go there himself.' " Joseph Brooks will present Lillian Russell this coming season, opening at Powers theater, Chicago, September 19, in a new comedy by Charlotte Thompson, entitled "In Search of a Sinner." Mr. Brooks has also accepted accept-ed for her a play written by Eloisc Steele, entitled "The Pace that Kills," in which sho will appear in the season. After a tour to tho Pacific coast, following fol-lowing tho Chicago engagement. Miss Russell will come to New York early in February for a long engagement. Quite the largest theatrical company that has ever been assembled was called last week for William Gillette's repertoire season. It includes sixty-four actors with speaking parts, and in addition ad-dition to these arrangements wore made for nearly 150 supernumeraries. Each of the actors will be required to play from two to six parts in as many days during tho coming season, as there are over 125 roles to be filled. Sir W. S. Gilbert is understood to make an income of $60,000 a year out of the Savoy operas. In this connection connec-tion it is interesting to note that Sir W. S. Gilbert, J. M. Barrio and Sii Arthur Pinoro make moro money than any other British dramatists. Mr. Barrio Bar-rio is reputed to have mado $240,00U out of "The Little Minister" alone, and to be making $2000 a week out oi "Peter Pan." Early attractions in the Now York Shubert theaters will be Graco George and Frank Worthing in "Baby Mino, ' "Madamo X" and "Miss Patsy" (two Henry W.
