Madamo Morichini 's I vaudeville appearances will be confined (exclusively to the Orpheum circuit. In i a way this is done out of compliment I to Martin Beck, general manager of the circuit, as it was through Mr. Beck I that tho. New York impresario, Oscar nnmmerstein, discovered Madame Morichini Mori-chini and brought her to America. It was while tho vaudeville magnate was abroad last spriug that he chanced to hear her sing in Paris, and ho cnllcd Mr. Hamnierstcin 's attention to the superior quality of her voice. After hearing her, she was immediately engaged en-gaged lo croato important: role's in "Taloa of Hoffman" and in "Faust" during the current New York season, and her success is well known to all who have followed the grand opera season in the metropolis. When thnt closed Madame Morichini consented to sing over the Orpheum circuit. Miss Mabel Bardine and her capable company of fivo will present a dramatic dra-matic novelty. "Sucy Snn," which is described as a Chinese tragedy.

Tho father prefers the man of wealth and high position, but. finally givos both an equnl opportunity. The men arc sont out into the world to accomplish worthy objects nnd tho more PueccfiBful will be given Suey San in marriage. Tho Chinaman of high birth starts jus a gambler, while the other man goes to the United States and begins be-gins operations as a laundrymnn. Thoy nil meet in San Francisco, where the termination of the theme is worked out. Tlio scenery and electrical effects ef-fects aro said to bo tho most elaborato in vaudeville. Dan Avery nnd Charles Hart, who are , considered by many to' be the logitimato succesbors to 'Williams and Walker, are coming inNu new act. Those two comelians class among Uio funniest fun-niest colored entertainers on tho stago, and tho material is always clever nnd .characteristic. This sensou they are introducing two of their own composition, composi-tion, "Down Among tho Sugar Cane" and "Gee, You're Just Too Sweet to Live! " Direct from Europe como "Berg's Six Merry Girls." know abroad as "Berg's Six Lustigu Wiobor," with an act that is unique. Some Europenu papers enthuso over the acting of this half-dozen maidens. Others rave over their instrumental skill as musicians, while others sing their prnises a? dancers danc-ers and Binders, so thev niuht bo exceedingly ex-ceedingly versatile, at least. Their offering of-fering is in three sections: (a) Going Go-ing to the Ball, (b) Acrobatic Devil Maidens, (c) Parisian Musical Clowns on Parade. Doiro and Porcini are billed as .Milan cso minstrels and give an act that hns been a tremendous success in the northwest, north-west, whence it is. ooming direct to Salt Lake. Their singing is described as particularly outertaining. A really novel act in gymnastics is that of the Baliotb. for it includes Bevcrnl stunts that are not only new but much out of tho ordinary," especially espe-cially in the feats of strength with tho teeth and neck. Tho swoet, pretty and graceful momber (Miss Erna) of the team is no loss an accomplished nth-leto nth-leto than her Jitho, hnudsome male companion. com-panion. Thoy make an nttraotiv-o conplo nnd their feats of strength aro genuinely genuine-ly sensational particularly the daring giant swing iu which the Iccth only ire employod by tho performers, wliife tho woman is swung swiftly in the air, the man acting as tho human axis upon which tho woman revolves. Lillian.

She radiates cheerfulness cheerful-ness and impersonates child typos to perfection. Now orchestral muic and now motion pictures complete the bill. Clever and succinct plot, snappy muflic, fine singers, actor and actresses, ac-tresses, are some of tho elements that o to make up the opera, of "Mnntann " to be presented by the R. Y. P. Opera company of Prove, at tho Salt Lake theater,' matinee and night, Snlurday, May 21. Called the greatest of English operas, "Maritnna" is one of the finest ever composed. Additional interest is attached to the presentation of the opera by the announced an-nounced appearance of Miss Fay Looso, daughter of Colonel Ed. Looso of Provo, who assumes the role of Maritnna, and Mr Luverne Sigmond, a famous tenor of Chicago, now a membor of tho organization, or-ganization, who will appear as Don Cacsnr, Tho well-known favoritos who havo appearcd in past productions given by tnis organization will also appear, among them being Miss Tna Fulmcr, ; soprano, who takes tho title role for the matinco performances; Olivo Nixon, Nix-on, mezzo; .Esther ltnsband. mezzo; XoJa Adams, soprano; LaVordo Caldwell, Cald-well, ifoprano; Blanche Lirsoii, soprano; Noola Ellertson, mezzo; (J.

Over $1000 has boon expended in new scenic effects, assuring a production fully in keeping with the merits of this opera. Another interesting interest-ing feature will be the handsome, cos-Btumea cos-Btumea and accessories, which will be under tho guidance of William Crawford. Craw-ford. Professor A. C. Lund, the director direct-or of the company, assures bettor and more even production than any given in the post, though "The Beggar Student" Stu-dent" presented in this ciU- last year, was an unqualified and unanimous' success. suc-cess. The plot of "Maritana" is, contrary to tho ueunl costum of musical comedies come-dies and operas of today, clear, consistent consist-ent and catchy. It is as follows: A band of gypsies have invaded Madrid, Spain, and by their singing aud dancing danc-ing seek lo allure wary monoy from the people. Among the band i's Mari tana. Tho king of Spain, in disguise, acos her and is smitten with her charms, Ho gives her a goldon coin and slips out. of the crowd. But tho king i6 seen nnd recognized by the intricuing Don Joso, his minister, who is plotting to Bconre the fnicon for himseir. How-rivor, How-rivor, after tho departure of the king, Don Caesar omergos from a nearby inn, quite drunk. Ho becomes embroiled em-broiled iu a qnaTrcl Avhich leads to a due. But an edict has boon issued agaitrst ducting, honco Don CnoBar is arrcslod, thon cast into prison. Here ho is found by Don .lose, who promises prom-ises thnt if he, Don CaeBan. will marry nu unknown woman, ho will bo ro leased from prisoti. Don Caesar consents con-sents and is- married to Maritnna, who iH hoavily veiled and -unrecognizable. Don Jose introduces Maritana to tho king, who is deeply smitten with her charms. But Don 'Caesar appears "later and claims Maritana for his wife, having hav-ing recognized her voice, as stated. Tho plot is Bnappy and of quick action, ac-tion, whilo the scones are brilliant and the costumes bright. Among the many woll-known airs sung in "Maritana'" nro "All the World Over," "There. Is a Flower That Bloometh," "Scenes Thnt Are Brightest." and others. An scrobatlo act so distinctly different dif-ferent from anything over seon beforo that it has created a sonsation in overv city in whioh it has been presented is j promised as tho hcadlinor ut; tho Mission Mis-sion thoater for tho week commencing with tho matinee next Thursday nfter-non. nfter-non. Press nnd public, of every city in which this n-c.t has boon offered unite in declaring that it is miliko anything over seen before. Salt Lakers who witnessed tho act in San Francisco a short time ago declaro that it is beyond be-yond question the greatest acrobatic act thnt thoy have over seen. Four months agt tho Schiavony troupe of acrobftte, four men and two women, i came to this country from Europe under un-der special contract and at a salarv said to be much higher than has ever been paid n similar tronpo in tho history his-tory of vaudevillo in America. Their reception since that time hns been one continued ovation in everv city which thoy have visited. One of the mauy features of this remarkable act and one that has never been performed before, is the catching of two men, ono on each hand, by ono of the young womon members mem-bers of tho tronpo. Tho two men turn a sonos of somersaults across the stago and then one after the other bounds from the stago to bo caught on the 1 hands of the young woman, w.ho supports sup-ports them as aho walkn around tho stage, despite the fact that either of them woigh much more than difis the young woman. Tho second feature of the bTl Is promised in the first preflcntatioa in this city of tho little comedy drama, "Tho Village Lockup." by Kelley and Wentworth. This little play has'mnde a groat hit in each city in which it has been prosonted during tho present ! soason. It is brim full of clean comody wit h n touch of nature at tho end that never fails to win the approval of the audience. j Another number of tho new bill that is expected to make a hit with tho patrons pat-rons of tlio Mission, as well as with tho athletes of this city, will bo tho first appoaraucii in this city in vaudeville vaude-ville ot Louis Guortin, cliampion all round jumper of tho world, who has met and defeated the groatost jumpers of two continents in various jumping j contests. Ho holds the world's record, j 22 feet 9 inches, for n broad jump. A merry melange- of fun and dancing is promised by Miller and Russell, whoso act, "The Lunatic and tho Girl." is said to bo as funny as anything any-thing seen in this line in a long timo. Ralph C. Whitohcad is bo well known that ho scarcely noodn an introduction Ho has been seen aud heard iu this ciiv- before and hns never failed to ma"ko good with his audience, tlis present pres-ent act is said to bo the best that ho has yet offered and may be expectod as ono of the features of tho bill. Georgia Nelson is another number of tho bill that hardly nocds an introduction introduc-tion to the theatergoers of this city. Her charming voice has been heard hero before, and to her songs sho adds a lino of comedy work that is said to be of a high standard. The orchestra, in new selections, and now moving pictures pic-tures will mnko np the bill. One of the best bills yot offered at tho Casino begins tho week with tomorrow's to-morrow's matinee and devotees of good pictures have in store a raro treat. Tho Edison company havo spared no expense in producing their masterpicco, "The Cigaretto Maker of Seville." founded on tho noted operu, "Cnxmen." With nppropriato music this subject will provo one of the best things yet shown in picturedoni. Another Edison subject, "Tho Sena-, tor and the Suffragettes," founded on I he woman's rights movement, is a scroam from start to finish, and for a lovelty comedy subject nothing cou d enual "Love nnd Marnngo in Porter-laud, Porter-laud, also by Edison.
