It gofcs without saying that "Trilby" is ono of tho most powerful, heart-grip-J ping plays ever written, and its his.-: his.-: tory in America1 and Europe proved a ' succession of sensational successes. The Utah 'management; decided to produce ' tho play when word was received hero from New York that it was to bo, revived re-vived Micro, and arrangements wero immediately im-mediately made to securo Mie original i version Trom the 'owners fort a Salt Lake production, with Mar.iorio Ram-beau Ram-beau in tho title roto and Wiilard Mack as Svengnli. the Polish Jew. As .Sventiali Mr. Mack gives a wonderful won-derful characterization Of tho strungo man "from the mysterious cast," and so far as character work goes, it is said to be a masterpiece. The TJtnh management man-agement received hundreds of requests to rovivo the great' j)lay, and having .a company woll qualincd to portray Trio various characters it was decided to reproduce re-produce it. As soon as it was assured that the play could be obtained preparations prepa-rations for its- production wijre started, and Mr. Alack proposes to present pre-sent it on an elaborate scale in cast, scenor- and music. A special musical programme has been arranged by Professor Pro-fessor Wiilard Wcihe. and Mr. Med-land, Med-land, the scenic artist, has been hard I at work for many days "preparing his part of the production,- Tlic st.orv of "Trilby" is 'one of vital interest. It is intensely dramatic, not. .to say tragic, but does not lack humorous features, Trilbv lives in Paris and is a model who poses for various urtists, among them being a trio of whole-souled follows known as "Little Billie," "Tally" and "The Laird," The first-named is in love with Trilby, and proposes to marry her. The. three convince the girl that Iicr posing in the nude is wrong, and she consents to quit the practice'. Liviuir in the Latin quarter 'of the French metropolis i-ith the three artists is a strange man, a music teacher called Svengali. He hast studied hypnotism until he masters the strange art. One dav 'he hears Trilby attempt; to sing, and in his ovil mind he' evolves a scheme to capture th,c girl and take her away. 81ie easily succumbs to his 11311-notic 11311-notic influence, and with the aid of one Gecko, Svengali steals tho girl and spirits her awa.y. Several years lator Trilby s discovered dis-covered as tho loading feature ,of a great concert in Paris. Ifor singing, under the influence of Svengali, has "Marmeo" and the four girls iu Louisa M. Aleott's timmortal story, the dramatization of which comes to the Salt Lake theater tomorrow for a week's engagement, Extra matinees- will be given on Thursday and Friday. will be plaj'Qd by Frederick Sumper, ono of tho most capable actors of tho Utah company. Howard Scott, the popular character man, plays "The Laird," while Arthur ,T. Price" has been cast, for the role of Taffy. Arthur Morso Moon will be seen in the role of "Zo.11 Zou." Tho part of Gecko will be played by Leon McRcvnolds. Konald Bradbury plays Colonel lvaw. a theatrical theatri-cal manager. Millard Iv. Wilson and' George Morrell also arc iu f,he cast. Miss Ifambeau promises an artistic Lulu Glaser, comic o,pera star, hcadliner at the Orphcum all week. j caused a veritable sensation, and thousands thou-sands flock to hear her. On the occasion occa-sion of her appearance at the concert tho three friends arc among the audience, and the3' recognize tho girl. They realize that sho is under some strange spell, and in a most dramatic scene the rush upon tho stage and break Svengali 's hold upon the girl. Svengali, who has boon .greatl weakened weak-ened by years of constant mental mastery over the girl, dies from tho shock when the spell is hro1;en and Trilby is taken away suffering from mental and physical collapse The girl is on tho road to recovery when she is suddenly confronted hy a photograph of Svengali s ovil face anu the hypnotic hyp-notic ej'es still hold her, even though the man is dead, The shock proves too much for jcr and Trilby dies.

Miss Pearl Either plays Mrs. Bagor, mother of Little Biliic, and Miss Regina Connelli and Miss Hollo play tho roles of Angele and Jlonorine, respectively. All tho scenes are laid in Paris.

To attempt to introduce Mtss Glaser to the Salt Lake theater-going public -ould be a presumption tor tew musical musi-cal comediennes have attained the same prominence as this delightful actress. For years she delighted audiences all over Amorica, appearing in the principal princi-pal roles of many- of tho best remembered remem-bered musical comedies. Her succoss from tho time sho created such a pronounced pro-nounced imnression as Francis Wil son's leading woman with "Tho Little Corporal," including starring tours in "Sweet Ann Pago," "Dolly Varden," "Mile. Mischief," "The Girl and the Kaiser" a.ud "Little Miss Madcap," lixo too well-known to need comment. Two very clever comedians will bo seen in Swor and Mack with their realistic impressions of southern negroes.- Thqy sing a number of good coon songs. Tlioir dancing is a feature fea-ture The eccentric dancing of Mr. Mack is most, laughable -Mr. Swor docs burlesque impersonations of uo-groes uo-groes and u silent game of poker in pantomime is not" the least of the good things in this hilarious offering". Unique is the animal act billed as Kluting's Entertainers. Tho performers perform-ers are snow white pigeons, rabbits, cats and dogs, which dwell together iii harmony har-mony and do some really remarkable stunts. Kluting's Iinteitainere. have been standard, for some time. The hand ling, however, has kept this act continually con-tinually fresh and new, as the little charges are always bcjng taught, new stunts, or a new performer is added. As dancers. Fred Warren and Eft'ic Conley shine respectively. It" is not only their nimble feet that command attention, but . also their splendid voices, the songs they have selected and the bright flow of dialogue put to-'gether to-'gether for what they call a vaudeville mixture. Andrew F. KellfV. another feature 011 the new bill, is .something unique in tho way of nionologists. There wnlks on the stage a dupper looking, tailor-made man in a frock suit, carrying carry-ing with .him a very broad and vefv honest Irish brogue. He docs "not dance a. step or sing a note, but he docs got off as w-itty a lot of. stories as one will hear in many days' journey in quest of good stories. 'Ifc also tells a yarn or two with a rich Scotch burr. Ralph Smalley, for the past six years violoncello virtuoso of the Boston Bos-ton Symphony orchestra, will, edify lovers of music with his remarkable technioue. mellow tones and snnldil rendition of popular-and classical music. mu-sic. While Mile. Tina- accomplishes innumerable in-numerable difficult feats 011 the ftving trapeze, the really important factor of her performance is the gracefulness with which her work is accomplished. Then there will be the exclusive first run licensed film, an Edison drama called "A "Royal Romance." which will be seen nowhere else until the Orphoum contract is concluded, and the usual concert prior to each performance per-formance by the Orphcum svniphonv orchestra or-chestra under tho direction of Ed J. Fitzpatrick. The feature of the concert con-cert will bo a bell solo by Adclbcrt Bees ley. WHAT' a beautiful, picturesque, clever offering that musical drama. "The Mission Garden," Gar-den," is!' It, is being presented pre-sented at the Empress, llujater this week in a way that makes ir worthy 'the distinction of boing called the best of. its kind ever seen here. A lit t la : more elaboration and it. would bo a 1 dandy- three-act production. The book 1 of this splendid production is by Cecil de Mille, author of " Strongheart," tho mnsic by L'obori Hood Bowers, and the j lyrics by Grant Stewart. The cast is 1 a distinguished one, Mis." .Nellie Br'cw- ' sfcer as California, Paul Porcasi aa Don Vinestro Sylvia de la Fueutc. Jimmic Graydou a's Lord Algernon, E. E. Overton Over-ton as BilJy Telfair and Al Bomomnn as the padre.- Jt is a beautiful production pro-duction in every sense of the word. T.t tells a logical story, it has. good humor, its music is charming and the different voices harmonize nicely. It .will bo many weeks before a musical playlet as good as "The Mission Garden" graces tho Empress stag. Another act 011 the bill that is worthy wor-thy of all the nice things said about it is "Tho Concealed Bed," from tho pen of Grnham Moffatt, who aside from the above mentioned act has given the American theater-going public one of i tho biggest laughing hits iu recent tycars, "When Buntv Pulls the Strings,; "The Concealed Bed" is a masterpiece of interesting entertain ment and is a wortlij- rival of the author's more pretentions offerings. The Scotch brogue of the actors is' delightful delight-ful and the situations are new and novel. nov-el. The story centers around life iu a tenement house in Glasgow, Scotland, and the fun is fast and furious. A real Gypsy countess who plays a j queer instrument called the Hungarian j czimbalon, is one of the worthy fea- ' tures of the bill. A dainty and" mag- j. netic little person is the cjounless and j before she sounds a single note 011 the I Sullivan and C'onsidinc agents that can drive away the gloom' with .crisn, new ;jokcs and comic sdngs, Shoei- is the one best bet that has boon here in a long while. Tno new bill which opens with a matinee performance next Wednesday promises much in the vay of variety and the return of old favorites. Heading Head-ing the new bill will bo one. of life most prjQtuutious anusieal offerings of the present season. "Cupid's Syndicate!" a jingling tuneful little operetta engaging en-gaging the services of ten pretty and talented girls, Marion Cnrson, a winsome win-some and magnetic aoubrette, and Andrew An-drew Tombs, ft, is not exceeding the press agent's limits, when he asserts as-serts that Mr. Tombs is the very best comedian that has over graced. the vaudeville vau-deville staijc with a musical play as a background.

They have an act that if dashing,- pleasing and most picturesque. pictur-esque. Clarence Oliver, recent star of "Of- ; ficer GOG. " will entertain with song? nnd sto'ries which have made" him a prime" favorite all over the Empress circuit. - ' Snyder and Hallo,, two novoltj dancers, danc-ers, will offer a routine of tho latest craze, including the Tanro and many others-of the latest creations.
