The dreamy music and tho racy style of "Alma, Where Do You Live?" aro tho two things principally responsible for the voguo of this An-glacized An-glacized Fronch musical play. PosBi-bly PosBi-bly the most winning feature of the production is the music which is mostly of tho slow, entrancing kind that .in, who was added to tho Kolly forces a week ago, has more than made good. Mies Lylo makes her debut tonight at tho Colonial and it will be hor first oppcaranco on nny stage in Salt Lake. ;ur. Kola's selection for Lho week to come, beginning tonight, is- that fas-cinnting fas-cinnting and chnrmiug romanco of the sixteenth century, "Dorothy Vernon of Ilnddou Hall," and it iB doubtful if tho popular slur could have chosen a play bettor adapted for himself, his now leading woman and tho members in bis company in goncral than this dramatisation of Charles Major's do-lighf.fui do-lighf.fui story of love, romance and adventure. ad-venture. Tho play is a historical molodrnma and was produced originally in this city by Miss Rciflin Gal I and. Its period pe-riod is the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when knights wore bold and love and romance occupied men's thoughts. The spirit of chivalry, of daring deeds to gain milady's .favor, of heroism and bravery, runs aJ through tho play and carries tho spectator back to tho nix-tceath nix-tceath century. The scenes aro laid at the ensiles of Lord Vernon and his hated rival, Lord Rutland. Years before the story opens V'ornon had pledged his vord to give his daughter Dorothy in marriage to Rutland's son, ir John Manners, but Uie hatred which has sprung up between be-tween them makes Vernon forget his early promises and ho arranges that his daughter shnll wed her cousin, Sir Malcolm Vernon. Sir John, a huud-sonic, huud-sonic, knightly gentleman, comos to claim i ho hand of Dorothy, but on learning the bitter feeling, against the Rutland?, ho makes his entreo as Sir Malcolm Dorothy is at onco smitten with him, and oven when ho confesses his deception her lovo remains steadfast. stead-fast. But Lord Vernon, enraged by the young man's duplicity, and Sir Malcolm, Mal-colm, who arrives on the scone to claim his fair cousin, vow vengeance against Manners. Dorothy is asked to give him up. Sho refuses and is threatened with a lashing. Then she -is mado prisoner and starvod, but shu refuses to submit. sub-mit. Sir John conies to t'roo her and is captured. The arrival of Queen Elizabeth give; him an opportunity to escape and plan for Dorothy's rescue. In the meantime, Dorothy becomes involved in-volved in strange adventures of her own. She is compelled to cross swords with hor cousin, to Tide at breakneck speed to the Rutland castle, to warn Mary, Cuoon of Scots, who is hiding there, ot her danger from Queen Elizabeth's Eliza-beth's followers, and finally to flee from her father's home with Sir John to ovoid hor people's wrath. Stirring incidents and constant ac tivity mark the progress of tho drama, and throughout its four acts there is never a moment that can bo called dull. Tho scenos and period of tho play call for picturesquo sottings and brilliant costuming, and both will be supplied with tho usual lavishncss of Colonial productions. The roles will be taken by the members mem-bers in Mr. Kelly's company as follows: fol-lows: j Sir John Manners, William J. Kellv; I William J.

THIS afternoon there will be introduced in-troduced for a week's run another an-other corking good bill at the Orphcum. Those with the vaudeville-' habit who missed the enter-tainiug enter-tainiug sketch from last week's bill are promised a rare treat in the headline head-line offering which comes in tho form of a h'omc lifo incident which is - presented pre-sented by Louise Galloway Joseph Kaufman and company. Their vehicle is one of the latest play lots from the pon of Edgar Allan Woolf, entitled "Little Mother." This domestic dramalcl. is said to have., the strength of "Mother"' and "The Lottery Man." Mr. Kaufman is well known for his successes in "Via Wireless.'' "Brewster's Millions" and "The Countrj' Boy," while Miss Galloway j early made a name for herself as a successful suc-cessful actress with Charles Frohmun, tho Shuberts und other prominent producing pro-ducing managers. Tho big scream on the now bill will be accorded Chris Richards, an absurd English comedian with a highly dc veloped sense ot the ridiculous. He is a most diverting fellow. He sings : verse or two, fires oil a few sallies ia Fronch, and does - some wonderful juggling feats of the amateur order with a light bowler hat. But it is tho characteristic, strut, tho eccentric danc ing, "and tho splits that form the astounding features of his turn. Judging Judg-ing by the mannor in which he occasionally occa-sionally employa his logs, one would think tnoy have little or no connection connec-tion with other parts of his anatomy. That there are a few new thinirs to be done in iuggliug is fully demonstrated demon-strated b3' Mile.

This does not obtain, however, in tho calculations of Mr. Be-lasco. Be-lasco. Tho great director figures that each actor is meant only for tho role that ho portrays in each particular pla and to use this personality in another would give an entirely different menn-ing menn-ing to tho characterization than was intended, Por a singlo small part in "Tho Music Mu-sic Master," which rcquirod an actor with a German dialect, Mr. Belasco searched for days for tho artist he desired, de-sired, and finally found him in a little Gormun theater playing small parts in downtown Now York. Mr. Belasco at ouco elevated him to tho rolo ho had in mind nnd a hitherto unknown German Ger-man actor made the hit of his career. Almost the same circumstances havo applied to every other character Mr. Belasco has conceived in ovory play Mr. Wartleld has presented. In no two plays would Mr. Belasco uso tho same actors, cvon though thoy played infinitesinirtlry small parts in cncli. Thus, for a "roportoiro, should Mr. Warfiold think ot presenting it, a high-priced company of groat numbers num-bers would have to bo impressed. In ndditiou to this, Mr. Bolasco insists that every plav carried on tho road bo presented pre-sented with every iota of ombellish-meut ombellish-meut exactly tho same as its Now York production. This would nlean carrying an enormous trainload of scenic oflocts and paraphernalia. In David Belasco's latest play, "The Return of Peter Grimm," to which Mr. Warflcld is devoting his entiro attention atten-tion this season, and which ho will pro--sent in Salt Lake soon, tho scenic om-bcTHshments om-bcTHshments and proportics that dress tho stago aro as numerous and bulky as aro the effects of many companios that present a mimbor of playB in roportoiro. rop-ortoiro. For the long tour Mr, "Warfiold is to make this yoar, from coast to coast, Mr. Bolasco insisted that ovory article seen in the wonderfully artistic New York production of "Tho Rotum of Potcr Grimm" be carried on tho road and tho piny prcsontcd cxactlj as at the Belasco theater all last season, even though he could havo saved a small sized fortuno in transportation throughout the country by cutting down the elaborate Fcenic investiture. Mr. Warfiold declares in favor of plaving in repertoiro to relievo himself of tho monotony of impersonating th( same role at every performance, but ho fully coincides with Mr. Belasco's ideals that it is hotter to present one piny as near perfection as possible than to nppear in many at a sacrifice to the artistic ensemble. |
