Mr. Edeaon Is nn actor for whom Salt Lake theatergoers entertain the warmest affection. He, more than anv other actor, typifies the American vigor, manliness and determination. Lovers of strong plays and realistic acting act-ing will be Interested In tho announcement announce-ment that "A Man's a Man" will serve to introduce Mr. Edcson In an entirely new light, but ono which affords him tho finest opportunity for effective work he has yet enjoyed. The scenes of "A Man's a Man" are laid In Now York City and In Helena, Mont., the events which the piny depicts transpiring within a period of three months. Mr. Edcson appears ap-pears ns Townsend Hewitt. 11 wealthy young Now Yorker of good birth and fine soclnl position, who, through becoming legal advisor to a western mining magnate, mag-nate, Is made tho central figure of an Intensely In-tensely dramatic confilot that will make or mar the lives of four persons. "A Man's a Man" differs radically from the conventional plays of tho presont time in that. Instead of presenting Mr Edenon as a fearless youth overcoming difficulties to win the usual stage heroism. It pictures pic-tures him In the far more exciting situation sit-uation of a man seeking to regain the love of his own wife, and at tho same time prevent Injustice from being done the wife of a man to whom he is bitterly opposed. Underlying thu daring and original orig-inal plot of the piny It Is said to be a telling attack on legislative corruption nnd the evils resulting from loosely nnd dlshoncsllv constructed divorce laws. For Mr. Edeson's supporting company Manager Man-ager Henry B. Harris hns cngnged one of such excellence as to add further testimony tes-timony to his rare discrimination In the proper casting of plays. "Mary Jane's Pa" Is playing to capacity houses at tho Colonial theater. It Is ono of the most delightful comodics that hns been presented in Salt Lake for years and the company Is a splendid one. You will regret It If you do not see "Mary Jane's Pa." It will run the remainder of the week with Saturday matlnco. Arturo Bernard!, tho protean actor plavlng at the Orphoum this week, conclusively con-clusively proved himself the real thing in the Impersonation of any character ho desires tho othor evening. After playing play-ing half n dozen- or more roles In the little lit-tle Italian comedy with which ho opens his act. It is necessary for him to impersonate im-personate a policeman. In this guise ho walks around through the theater hurriedly- In response to calls from a room on the stage. Bernardl wns doing this on Tucsuav evening when an official of the Salt Lake police department started forward to stop him. believing him some member of the department who was shirking duty and seeing the Orphcum show instead of walking his beat. A friend who nnd scon the act before stopped the official and whispered some words to him, after which both smiled and a little later adjourned for a cigar. "College Chums" Is being presented at tho Grand theater all this week, with the single exception of tonight, when Mr. Lorch has consented to give a production produc-tion of Salt Lnko's favorlto play. "Dr. Jekvll and Mr. Hyde." The popular actor will" give but the one performance, as the work Is very hard and calls for the actor's best efforts. The scat sale for this performance Is very heavy and Indications Indi-cations arc that standing room will bo at a premium early In the evening. Mr. Lorch has brought with him to the city tho strongest stock support that he has ever had while playing his engagements at the Grand during the past five years, and In the play now being presented all members of the cast arc well fitted for their respective parts, and one of the best presentations ever given a production produc-tion is given "College Chums," which will continue Friday, Saturdny matinee and Saturday nirht. "A Fathers Devotion" Devo-tion" will be the opening bill for Sunday matinee and will continue all next week. A CTutlfylng announcement that will bo met by the approval of many Is that Mr. Mack, who was forced to rotiro from the cast of "All of a Sudden Peggy" after the performance on Sunday evening, has recovered sufficiently to appear tonight. "All of a Sudden Peggy" has brought forth Miss Leone as one of the hest en-genue en-genue leading women In stock and It also shows that the play Is one of the best comedies done by this clever company. There will bo a matlnco Saturday. Moving picture onlhtislasts have much to appreciate this week at the Tsls theater, thea-ter, every subject on the bill standing out prominently as a feature number In Its particular line. The musical selections are also very appropriate and well received. re-ceived.
