"The Darling" of-tho Gods" was her next creation; and this vehide prood to be as' eminently successful' as its predecessor, by establishing a standard stand-ard of oriental portraiture that is today to-day recognized as authoritative. Minnie Smith in "The Girl of the Golden "West ' ' came next and tho record of this brilliant performance has added another pa go to the annals of American Ameri-can theatrical history. This character ization again arrested tho attention of Puccini and a grand opera was written bv him therefrom. "Tho Pighting Hope" was her sixth creation and in this she registered an enormous personal success. This season sea-son she is appearing iu her sovonth and Jatest triumph. "Nobody 'h "Widow," a comedy from the pen of Avery Hop-wood, Hop-wood, that affords her a splendid opportunity oppor-tunity to disclose her abilities as a comedienne, and in which sho will appear ap-pear for three nights and a niatinco at the Salt Lake theater, beginning April 18. TH, PERSON" who likes vaudeville vaude-ville will smnck his hps iu anticipation an-ticipation over the menu promised prom-ised by the Orpheum this week. Commencing with this aftornoon !s performance, per-formance, Louise Dresser, who has won success and distinction in many nnisic- MAX FIGMAN, B Who Opens at tho Garrick Tonight in "Mary Jane's Pa," tho First Play mmm of the Serios in Which He Will Appear in a Starring Engagement With the Garrick Players During the Eemainder of the Season al productions, heads the now bill. She was featured with Lew Fields in "Tho Girl Behind the Counter," was the principal member of the English extravaganza, ex-travaganza, "Dick Whittington," was co-star with De Wolf Hopper in "A Matinee Idol," and a star in her own right in "A Lovely Liar." Following Follow-ing her Orpheum tour sho will again star in niuscial comedy. On the occasion occa-sion of her appearance hero sho will render a number of her song successes. suc-cesses. Another hpadliner comes in the form of a French pantomime called "La Somnamblc, " the newest and most pretentious pre-tentious of G. Mollasso's distinctly "Frenclry" productions. Mile. Nina Payne and Signor St. Elia will act the two principal roles, supported by a capable company of ten people. Among the big features is the somnambulistic dance of Mile. Payne in her robe de unit, a spectacular fall down a flight of stairs, tho shooting of the villain, who also takes a header downstairs, and several other dramatic and sensational sensa-tional moments. Percy Waram, a well-known English Eng-lish actor who was brought to America Amer-ica by Charles Frohman, nends a small and capable company of players who will present "Tho Bosun's Mate." a talc of tho briny as told in a tabloid comedy written by that colobrated English humorist, W. W. Jacobs. The piece is sure io striko n responsive chord both because of the manner in which it is played and bocauso of the unusual situation and witty dialogue. The Irishman as characterized by Donovan and McDonald will give no offense to any son of Erin, because it is the real tiling as presented bv two boys from the Emerald isle. Their act, which they call "My Good Friend," is the means to introduce some real Irish songs, and throughout their performance perform-ance there is no effort to improve on nature. The Four Lyric Latins a few months ago were mom bora of a church choir in the middle west. They were induced in-duced to forsake business for the vaudeville nltge, and since the day they made their first appearance before be-fore the footlights they have "been popular. All four have splendid voices which, blend in perfect harmony. Their selections are well chosen and include several Italian folk sougs. A good dancing act is promised in the appearance of the Moffat and Cairo Trio. Thoy take for their theme the various national dances of the present pres-ent and the past. Snider and Curtis, two Salt Lako voung men who have recently broken into vaudeville, will present an educational edu-cational and mystifying net under the caption of the "Electric Wizards." Those who have seen I hem work sav that they livp up to the title, and throughout they furnish some sensations sensa-tions in electricity which make the lavmau arise and remark, "llow do they do it and livo?" The motion pictures promise some now views. The concert orchestra will piny some new music including a march written bv Alf Mastormau of this! city.
