Annie .Russell played the title role of "Sue" in the original production of Bret Harto's draxna. aud supporting her were such players as Guy Standing and Theodore Roberts. Tho western stage has kept "Sue" so much to itself and London claimed the play so long that the original company com-pany never came west, and in fact the drama itself has never been given in Salt Lake or the in to mountain couu-try. couu-try. Partly for thia reason and partly because of the extreme novelty of the role that Miss Rambcau is to ply, Mr. Mack has selected ''Sue" for his attraction at-traction this week at the Colonial, beginning be-ginning tonight, and in doing so" he is confident that his choice will fullill the expectations of those who anticipate antici-pate something out. . of the ordinary from the Mack-Rambeau players in their productions at the Colonial, The title, rolo represents a queer sort of a couutry girl, though a type well known aud" easily recognized as n integral part of the community life of that part of Texas where the scenes and incidents of "Suo5' arc laid. The jjirl is scarce turned twenty, but is the most dillinilt and dangerous feats ever required of an actor. On yt:H Jfaiiiboan ' nliouldors. however, how-ever, will fall I he brunt of tho work in 'Sue,'1 and with a character so utterly utter-ly and absolutely different from anything any-thing els-e of her career, it is little .wonder that the Colonial's management anticipates a record week following to-.night's to-.night's performance. A bia company och on in "Sue,' and I here- will be 'a. wealth of new scenery. BV way of good measure the new bill at the Orphcum which opous this aftcruoou for a w cole's run, will be a double headlino offering. offer-ing. The two stars selected for the big type at tho top of the new bill lire lilsa Iluogaer. Jlho world's 2roat,c3t woman cello player," and Grace Cam-onm. Cam-onm. fresh from her music hall .triumphs .tri-umphs in London. The fame of the first named is universal uni-versal and this celebrated littlo Belgian Bel-gian musician has enjoyed a career (lint has been a succession of veritable triumphs. tri-umphs. She has played both here and across the water with leading sym-phouy sym-phouy and concert attractions and has been a great hit on concert tours. The fact that the Orphcum mauageniout has induced her to enter vaudeville is another illustration ot the enterprise of those responsible for furnishing notable not-able attractions. Rlecauce, warmth of foaling, intelligence, n leaning toward what is best and tochuic that, is sure and well rouudod are. among lSlsu Ru-ngycr's Ru-ngycr's most strongly marked qualities. quali-ties. On her present tour she will bo assisted by the celebrated conductor, Mr. Edmund' Lichonnteiu. Grace Cameron, the other headliner, is a cllic. clever and dnintly little entertainer en-tertainer who makes up for her small-ness small-ness of tature with her comedy gifts. This little comic opera, .star has .just returned from a remarkable four of England, whore she scored possibly thy biggest hit of any American actress in vaudeville. Aside from her decided gift of comedv Miss Cameron has an excellent excel-lent voice. A capable actress with a score to MISS MARJOEIE 31AMHEAU, Who Opens -at the Colonial Tonight in the First Local Production of Bret Karte's Famous Drama, "Sue." old before her time. Her life has been drudgery and who has married a farmer of the stern, unrelenting, straight-laced typo so common to some rural communities. To these farmers of the Lone Star stato the annual visit of the circus ia a momentuinis event, aud the circus performers are looked upon with more or less awe. At the opening of the. Bret 1 1 arte story the circus is showing at a distant town aud tho husl)and has gone, refusing to take Sue with him. t The' principal acrobat of the, show is wanted for murder, and the sheriff learns that he is with the circus. The acrobat steals a horse and tries to escape by riding overland. He Uhh clipped a coat on over his tights ami fate brings him to the back door of Sue's house. In his silk and spangles ho is a. breath of another world to the simple country girl, and on his earnest plea she hides him in the barn. The sheriff arrives, the husband returns and the former finds out the secret, of the girl-wife. He informs the husband and then, with every motive misunderstood, misunder-stood, Sue enters on one of tho bitterest bit-terest experiences of her life. Tho solution so-lution is remarkable in its vividness and realism, and the tin'alo furnishes a climax of sensationalism that is remarkable. re-markable. , What do you think becomes of the acrobat hidden in the "barn What happens to the girl who irf subjected sub-jected to tho merciless jealousy of her husband? Mr. -Muck promises a series of gripping grip-ping scenes tonight in "Sue" that ro expected to earn for the drama here the applause it. received in New York and London. The title part is a star rolo for Minn Rambcau, and Mr. Mack is to play the acrobat. Here, too Is a part that will be most unusual in its scope, and just as an inkliji"- of what may bo expected, this much can be said that Mr. Muck, in playing tho role, must mako a twenty-foot leap from a second-story "window to a troo iop, This hau foaea pronouaCBtL oae of her credit is Dorothy .Daltou, who, with her company, will present the one-act farce, "Tho Smuggler,' ' The story of tho playlet is that of a young ivifo of a politician who has been abroad. On arriving in New York she encounters encoun-ters the customs officials, who insist on examining her truiikn despite tho fact, that she is supposed to lie a young woman with a "pull." The. method adopted in defrauding the officials and the cure olfeclcd by her husband and brother form the ground ivork of what is said to be a most laughable offering. offer-ing. Two of America '"s best, known song writers arc J Tarry Armstrong and Billy Clark, aud their compositions have been whistled the wide continent ovor. Tn vaudeville thev arc presenting a turn which thej' call "Finding a Partner," which introduces many of their song hits. The,y are destined to provo to bo as clover as entertainers as thoy arc as writers and composers. The Bouuding Pattersons mako a. spo ciallv of remarkable feats on tho horizontal hori-zontal bars and trnmpnliu. There is a liberal measure of comedv in their act and the throe men throughout arouse enthusiasm for thoir clever gymnastic gym-nastic stunts.. Another interesting feature on the new bill will be tho Gordon Brothers, champion bag punchers, who feature "Bob" the boxing kangaroo. This versatile animal from the Antipodes puts up a first class boxing match with 0110 of the brothers, aud when f-oijinred does not hesitate to sit on his tail and use nil four feet to get out of a hot- comer. Two nimble footed boys, Charles I.owo and George Do Vorc., are features on the new bill. Styled "'The Bell Hoys With tho Restless Foot," they live up to the title with a number of unique steps. The Animated Wcokly and pictures of the prevailing championship scries which will bo added to daily as the views arrivo from Now York are strong features on the now bill. MYSTERY certainly predominates tho Empress bill th't3 week and certain it is that pooplo like something on the mysterious order, for the "world's greatest act of mystery" has brought to the Empress the biggest business since tho opening of the beautiful theater. "Onaip" is tho name of the great, myatificr, and with his revolving piano he is tho headline attraction of a well "balanced bill. Onaip niesmcrizus his assistant, leads him to tho piano stool and blindfolds blind-folds him. By the force of tho magician's magi-cian's Vrill tho mesmerized ono begins to play. Still in a sitting position the jtool is taken away, but the player sits on air atolidly. Onaip then straightens him out to a standing position, -rrilh. bis feet six inches from the floor, and thorc ho remains re-mains until the magician agaiu seats him on the air at the piano. At the command of Onaip tho piano revolves a number of times in midair without any seeming support and the player ro-volves ro-volves with it, all the while playing tor dear life. . Lee Tung Foo, the Chinese baritono, is an example to his counts-men. Leo Tung Foo sings in a voico that is remarkable re-markable for a Chinaman, and is possessed pos-sessed with aa much temperament; as a prima donna. Ifo is cleverly comic and versatile- in tho bargain, singing a song in Chinese, then Armorer's song from "Robin Hood." with a booming basso, and finally "My frish Rosie" in a baritone In both French and English. Eng-lish. As a. finish Tung Foo comes out all garbed as a real Scotchman and renders some of tho Scotch songs in a manner that would reflect credit to a "Scot" of the real type. He has a ltoen sense of humor aud realizes all tho possibilities of hjfj impersonal ions. No one should miss scoing this clever Chinaman, especially tho Scotch. Robert McElim aiid company present the sketch, "A Persistent Wooor." Having just recently finished a tour over the Orphcum circuit, they are in fine fettle, and the way they present this pla3'lefc shows that, their -work is always a pleasing feature of any bill. The piece teems. with rich comedy linos. Hclou Primrose is truly tho wonderful wonder-ful comedienne that her advnuco notices no-tices claimed for her. She is dainty and very clever, and never fnijs to sing herself into the hearts of her audience. audi-ence. She also wears some very pretty pret-ty gowns. Manlcv and Walsh are two of tho best sint'ing and talking comedians in vaudeville.. They both have splendid voices and they know how to use them. They offer a good wholesome line of repartee which always goes good with the audience. A thorough lr good novelty is'ihe wire act of Granto and Maude. These two artists are far above tho standard set by most wircists. Their foats of back somersaulting and balancing aro tho most, difficult ever performed at a local theater. Their performance is a very risky one to themselves as slip of .ho foot would probably provo fatal. The Pa the weekly review of current news events and the Empress orchestra conclude tho great novelty "bill which closes on Tuesday night. The new bill opening on Wednesday promises great things for theatergoers. It will bo one of music, nrcttv girls, elaborate seeuery and difficult stage settings. The hcndlino attraction will be a luxuriant Japanese operetta in two scenes, called "Fujiyama," with all that oriental atmosphere can provide. Next on the bill will be Rogers and Mackintosh in tho brilliant comedy, "The Green Mouse." "The reigning French beaut v," Mile. La "Dcodima, will bo seen in "Animated Visions D'Art. " Daniels and Conrad are youthful musicians that can dispense the sweetest strains from any old thing. Lina Pantzer is termed Queen of tho Wire: "FTolden and Tfarron will pro-sont pro-sont ft pretty little skit called "The Mossougor Boy and tho Lady." The animated review of the wook promisos something worth while. |
