A SMASHING big week of thrills opens at tho Colouial tonight when "William 3.

' You can call the Aj'iiisfcroiig-Miznor story a dmma. or an out and out melodrama melo-drama aud "bo right either way. To take the word of Sew ' York's foremost reviewers, however, ie to accept ac-cept tho story as one of the moat compelling com-pelling and original playH of its kind that has been produced along Broadway Broad-way inm;uiv seasons. It ib a typical Armstrong-M ir.nor plot and Salt .Lakers who remember "Alius .Timmy -Valentine,"" ''Tho Deep Purple" and other productions along tho samo line will need little to recommend lo them "Tho Greyhound." It has been said of Paul Armstrong that ho can concentrate moro thrills into four acts than any other author who over staged a play in this country. To Wilson Mizner is ascribed the sarcastic, sar-castic, biting, aud fascinating dia-lougue dia-lougue of the underworld characters Miss Gcfcrudo Lorctta of the Three Lorettas, u.t the Empress today, Monday Mon-day and Tuesday. who thread their way through tho story from the first to tho final scene. Tho combination o these elements in iho make-up of a play from tho pons of Armstrong and Mizner gives tho public ae n general rule something mighty real in tho way of throhs and in "The Groyhouud" the two authors have eclipBed all previous, offorts. Tho play is to bo Iho attraction at tho Colonial t his week, opening with bo star and somo of tho principals In "Tlic .Siren," at tho Salt Lake til cater, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. J tonight's performance, and William .1. Kelly has staled that in overv ap-pointmont ap-pointmont tho production will follow tho original Now York presentation which was staged hy tho authors themselves. them-selves. Tho story concerns the cfl'orLs of a master crook. Louis Fellninn, to "rid himself of a girl-wife who married him not knowing what hia real lifo meant, and then to board tho great trans-Atlantic liner, Mauritania, sailing from New York to England, and with his "mob" of crooks fleece two rich and prominent families among tho first cabin cab-in pnssnngers on tho boat. I The first act takes place in a cheap Sau Francisco boarding house, whero Fellman leaves his wife for dead after making a suicido pact with her and inducing in-ducing thy girl to drink poison. Sho is saved, however, by McShorry. tho detective, de-tective, who. though an old time gam-hlor gam-hlor and card sharp, has turned square and is out to "get"' Follman, hi5 ancient an-cient enemy. Then the scene changes to tho hurricane hurri-cane deck of the Mauretania, outward bound, with Follman and his pang on board. At the head of Follman 's workers is the woman known as Baron-0S3 Baron-0S3 Von Hilda, a beauty in her "blonde way and stunningly gowned for every event. Tn reality the BaroncsH is Deep Sea Kitty, an adventuress known to tho police of two continents and taking her nanif from the crooked work she has done on the big liners. The third act is in three scones, tho first being the promenade deck of tho ship, the second tin card room whore a most drama tie game of poker takes place betv.-eon tho crooks', their victims and McShorry, and the last sceno of the act is in the grand sulon of the boat. Tho fourth act is on the hurricane deck at midnight of the same day. Mr. Kelly will play McShorry. the cool, calculating detective who " trails Follman to his last stand and "gets" hiin. Marie Baker, tho new character woman of the company will bo soon as Deep Sea Kitty and if the pa.rt had boon written for her, it could not have suited hor moro c.-actl'. Every member mem-ber of the company has a splendid opportunity, op-portunity, tho role's in tho play arc so numerous and varied. The six scenes will bo moat realistically staged, and taken all in all. Mr. Kelly declares ."The Greyhound" will bo found ono of tho. most absorbing plays of his season.

Malicl Hamilton, England's favorite favor-ite musical comedy stars. Clark is a first class comcdian endowed with an irresistibile whimsicality that is a hit. Mabel Hamilton is pretty and versatile. She singB and dances well and is an excellent foil for her partner's comedy They call thoir a-ct "A Waj-ward Conceit" Con-ceit" and the title is said to lit it like a glove. Signor Travalo is an eccentric violinist vio-linist who gots real peevish if ho does not "stop tho hIiow. " As ho always accomplishes ttb enviable record, ho is invariably sunny. Tn addition to bo-ing bo-ing a splendid artist he is endov.'od with mannerisms and a pair of big soulful ej'cs which he utilises to the limit. TJugh McCormack and Grace Wal-laco, Wal-laco, prime favorites in their nativo Australia, offer a vcntriloquial act that is out of the beaten path. They call their offering "Tho Theatrical Agout"j from tho fact that the sceno is laid in an ngoncy and the dummies seated O n in around on the benches aro supposed, to be actors aud performers looking for work. Oscar and Suzette come direct fom the Loudon Hippodromo with an en-viablo en-viablo vocord as entertainers.

Then thero are Ituby .Raymond and BoWby Hon th who aro whoolud on in roller chairs beforo a drop dopicting the fam ouo board walk at Atlaulic City. They call their act: "In the Good Old Summer Time."
