'T" RIFTING" is not given the big type by tho Orphcum thin week, but It Is easily tho most delightful of tho 3cven acts that comprise the new bill, which opened yesturday matinee, "Drifting" "Drift-ing" Is a sort of episode. Just a ca3ual mooting bctwocn a winsomo girl and a linppy-go-lucky follow at even tldo In an orchard. Agnes Scott and Henry Keenc have "drifted" In Salt Lako before, and at tlic formor nppcaraneo were accorded a most royal reception. It would seem, too, that tho act loft lots of friends In Salt Lako if tho applause which greeted Lho rlao of the curtain could bo taken as evidence. It is possible, too yes, very probable that the beauty of tho stage setting was responsible for some of the applause. Frank Ortli and Kcllar Mack havo tho samo vehicle ns they used beforo in this city. Hero and there "Tho Wrong Hero" has been given a now garment and has been onlivcncd, but tho theme itself is tho same. Mack and Orth "got away" with tho largest volume of alplause and possibly the greatest number of laughs of any of tho acts and deservedly. Tho pair do not overlook a single opportunity for fun making. Now songs several of them form a largo part of tholr success, "Danco Reveries" Is the title given to tho headline attraction. Tho act In supposed sup-posed to be a sort of dream picture. The man in his dream sees a hair dozen girls in costumes of different periods of the development of popular dunces. But thoro Is something lacking in the act. In the first placo tho man la not graceful far from it. Tho several dances and the thomo aro conveyed to tho audience In song only tho enunciation of the slngor Is Indistinct. So much so that If one depended only on understanding tho words tho singor might Just as well have been silent- It would seem as though tho whole act could bo considerably improved If tho man would Just keep on dreaming and the dances bo so revised that they could bo performed by tho women alone. Tho women aro exceedingly good looking and their costumoa are effective and typical. typi-cal. Tho Four Athlotas, women, nro graceful grace-ful in their formation of effective poses. Their stunts aro those which would have rccoived llttlo applauso if performed by men, but In tho hands of women the performance per-formance takes on new interest. "The Obstinate Miss Granger," a playlet play-let by Edgar Allan Woolf, with Rosalind Coghlan In tho leading role, would bo a heap hotter If the support given the young woman was strengthened. Tho secretary of a supposed wealthy bachelor should act at least a little above tho office boy and tho supposed wealthy man should act as though he had seen the lnsldo of an office at least onco In his life. Incidentally Inci-dentally most men of means have their telephones on their own desks and do not havo to walk to that of their secretary to answer a call. Fred and Albert, gymnasts, open the bill with a scries of good tricks, .and Virginia Vir-ginia Rankin also mado a good Impression. Impres-sion. The moving picturos were Interesting Interest-ing and held the largest part of the audience au-dience until tho close of the programme. ttr ECAL'SE She Loved Him So" she -t was Jealous of him. And because be-cause sho was jealous of him she was MJhplclous of him. And because aho was suspicious of him sho was susplcloua of tho odor of pcrfumo and tho two blonde hairs sho found on the shouldor of his coat. Tho above situation start3 tho ball of continual merriment going In tho Unit act of "Bocause Sho Loved Him So," the current offering at tho Utoji theater. The ball rolls faster and faBtor until the auditors audi-tors havo to hang on to their sldc3 to keep from bursting, nnd when the curtain cur-tain goc3 down at lho end of tho third act ovcryono is In a genuine good humor, The farco offered by Willard Mack. Marjorlo Ramboau and their company at tho State street house this week Is a suru enough laugh producer. Tho production pro-duction Is perfect and everything bids fair to make It a most successful week. The laughter and tho applause was almost al-most hysterical at times last night, and no wonder. Tho play is hysterically funny In Bpots. Whon Gcrtrudo West finds those blondo hairs and tlm odor of "new mown liny." a she called It. on his coat, sho immediately im-mediately started a quarrol and he immediately im-mediately Joined In it. She threatens divorce di-vorce and starts homo to toll hor perfectly per-fectly pcaceablo old father and mother, who huven't had a quarrol In nil tholr thirty tranquil years of married life, about hor fiendish husband. Husband goes along on the samo train to tell his side of tho story. Gertrude's brother has a sweetheart. Tho swootheart's ward airlvoa at the West homo during tho heat of the battle bat-tle and Is shocked. Brother Tom gots In awfully bad. Ho goes down to the old folks to have them stnilghton It out and gels thoro in tlmo to tell tho old peoplo peo-plo of tho quarrel In town. Mother has nn Idea. She has been reading a book In which two people feigned quarreling to euro two others who were constantly quarreling. A psychological demonstration demonstra-tion of tho Idiocy of quarreling, or something some-thing llko tliat. So the good old people decide to give tho wayward ones a les-som les-som When tho young people arrive. In separate cabs, they find father and mother moth-er quarreling violently. The town quarrel between Gortnido and Oliver Is forgotton in an effort, to bring poaco to father and mother. It is no use Tom brings his swootheart's ward around and he finds tho old folks quarreling, quar-reling, too. In tho end tho- trouble Is all explained, tho lesson driven home, tho Janitor's wife writes to Gortrudo and tells her of the maid's trick and everything every-thing ends happily, Including a departing depart-ing audience that has had a hearty laugh. Mr. Mack and Miss Rambeau aro tho quarreling couple, Olivo and Gortrudo West. Needless to say, they could not havo been better. Howard Scott made tho biggest hit of his engagement ns John Wentherby. the play-militant father. Miss Lillian iRambeau gave an excellent characterization char-acterization of Mrs. Wentherby. Arthur Morse Moon, as the poor victim of the quarrels, who nearly lost a sweetheart thoreby. hut who got her finally, was screamingly funny also. In minor roles, played very acceptably, wcro Miss Regina Connolll as the mischievous maid. MIs3 Honrlotla Hollo as Tom's sweetheart, Fred Mooro as hor ward, Arthur J. Price as West's butlor and Peart Ethier as the hired girl at Wcathorby's who assisted In complicating things.
