Mr. i M.uir told the talc to the writer with i .i I the dramatic effect of which ho Is (.liable, mid yet it tolling by him did oi In the least detract from the Inter- ct of M'eing the art.

However, they -nro loft bv tomparlbon with "Vindication.' although f tali, individually they are. of livcmgc I m'lbcr. J P.iul f'onclias, who Juggle cannon I 1 al'n and In other way displays a sncm-i sncm-i Ipg strength, was possibly tin most In-F In-F tcu-Htlng. He certainly received tho I ino'-t npplauKP, partly because of hlo own ability and partly because or tho comedy work of hlu companion. Julius Nounuin. Claud and Kanny L'fihor and "i-parc-ilbs." In a sketch entitled "Tho Straight Path," aro interesting, but for some reason rea-son or othf-r do not inako the hit they made tho last tlmo they played In Salt Lake. Ponslbly It Is tho fact that tho sketch Is of a decided "blue" tendency. Tho acting Itself was good, but It seoinn to be ono long, mournful wall from start to finish, tho only relief being furnished by "Sparcilbs," a dog, who on occasion wags hlu (m II. Smith and Cook James llughcn Smith nnd Jim Cook depend a great deal on Marie Brandon to make Iholr sketch u Hiiccefis. Mlhtf Brandon Is a toe dancer of no mean ability and lends considerable considera-ble brlghtncau to the surrounding dullness. dull-ness. Willurd Squires. Thomas Ashworlh, Victor ChiiBtophorson and Ivor Brlnd compose tho Imperial male quartette. Thoy hardly need an Introduction to Salt "Lake nudlenrcF. Tholr several selections aro well chosen and thoy v.ero heartily applauded last night. Edna. f;howalter sings four polectlons In an excellent manner. She Ik billed as "tho jrlrl with tho golden voice " She. sang "The Last Rose of Summer" last night as an encore and loft the slago amid a storm of applause. Krank Parish, who opened the show. Is an agile young man who make bin living by his ability lo Jump in and out of a barrel, varying the act with a bit of dancing. Tho rtah Stock company put on IIoyt'K si-roaming farce, "a Texas StcM" last night as tho last w.k'n bill In which Willurd Mack and Mls Rambean will appear. The play was Ntaged with all of Mr. Maek'a attention lo detail. Aa n flrwt nlght'H performance It lacktnl t-nmcthing of Urn dash that the plav ro-jlilrc?. ro-jlilrc?. but' this will doubtless bo bvar-como bvar-como as the members of tho company bo-come bo-come more familiar with tholr roles. Mr. Mack, as Mavorlek Brnndisr. tho crude Tuxan. polished into the up-to-date -on-gropsnwm after several years In Washington, Wash-ington, does sotno good work. Mlsn Itam-biu. Itam-biu. as IiIk daughter, Bosslc. uhti filters fil-ters Waahliigtoii soeb-ty with all of tho awkwardness of a country girl, brought into strange surroundings, but with all the assurance of an Inaependcnt nature, carries the part with imtumlnuss. Her a pines In learning now ways soon makes Jut a rei-ognlzed belle in the capltnl. Mrs.. Lilllaii Kambeau. as Mrs. Grander, Gran-der, gives excelluul support to the lead-ins lead-ins roles. Some good character work Is done by Arthur Morse Moon as Othello, the negro bellboy in tlic Arlington holl. where the Bntndors live. Arthur J. Prico ns Mnjor Yell. Frederick Moore as Colonel Colo-nel Brags and Frank Jonasson na Colonel Colo-nel libenezer Pepper cause much amusement amuse-ment with their comedv work. Howard Scott makes n good Colonol Brassy Gall nnd Millard K. Wilson as Knott Inuett acts the part well. . Miss Kleunor Haber i dainty and pleuslng as Mrs. Campbell, a friend of the Brwnders, who is first soon as n visitor vis-itor to the Texas ranch of tin: Bmndors and is luter their guost In Washington. Miss Sttxone Morland fitted well into the role of I he supposedly unsophisticated "Dlselc,'' who trnpn tho now congnsss-man congnsss-man Into kissing her, has a photographer hlddon to tako n picturo and then sells tho negative to Jio.r nnfortunato dupe, to prevent domestic trouble. As the last offering of Mr." .Mack nnd Mist; Knmbcau tho play will undoubtedly bo presented to l-upaclty houses this week. Tho big net or tho now bill nt the Emptors Is Crossman's "Banjophltinds." The three pretty girls, two men and a boy comprising tho musical sextette made n hit nt the opening show yesterday yester-day with chorus selections on banjos, a violin unci piano, and with soloo on tho banjo and violin. A pleasing feature was a scene allowing a gray-haired couple sitting In their home, whllo one member of tho company snug "Silver Threads Among tho Gold," accompanied by mi organ and violin. Leonard and Louie, who do somo hlgh-clas hlgh-clas strong men acrobatic "stunts," and nt tho same time creato fun with a line of now Jokes, received more npplauso than au other net. When they first appeared they acted Hko amateurs, but beforo they left the stage tho crov.d seemed convinced that they aro about as clover as have been Been hero. Taken altogether, tho now show Is not quite up to the standard of tho last few weeks. )n spite of the fact that "Big Jim.' the wrestlltur bear, has been hold over for tii added" four days. "Big Jim" was as good as ever yesterday, but he t did not seem to get the npplauso of last woek, probably because most of those present had seen him once. Luigl Dell'Oro. who opens tho show, plays nn nccordcon and a sort of foot organ at tho same tlmo. The playing of an organ with the feet Is something new. and Oro helped his popularity by playing a few national airs. Burke and Harrison have an net that is supposed to be funny, and Is, in a few widely separated spols. The young woman wom-an Is pretty and shapely, however, and tho audience seomcd pleased, especially with the dance which ended the net. Billy Walsh, who plays the lend In tho playlet, "Ilunklns's Hun." Is a clever actor ac-tor and takes In an Inimitable way tho part of tho Bowery boy. "Billy Butts from tho ISnst Side." Walsh could Improve Im-prove Ins act, however, by removing the songs he sings, as he liny anything but a good voice. The story of tho sketch Is not a new ono. but Walsh, with his slang, and W. F. Tynoh aa tho town constable, secure tho laughs. As usual, tho Keystone comedy motion pictures are a scream and the audlenco was kept laughing from bcglnnlns to end. A combination of whisky, too much of which has been drunk by the erring buy-band, buy-band, together with a suit case full of trained snakes, makes everyone tho audience au-dience as well aa the picture actors soo things. Tho followlns theater notices are mitrlstJ "advertisement" In onler to comply with a Mtrlct Interpretation of Hi's noir federal newspaper news-paper law. In no tense aro they paid ndver-tlicmenta. ndver-tlicmenta. Thcr are Items fumbled by tho prcaj agents o tho various theaters. "Milestones." which opens at tho Salt Lake theater Wednesday, is tho storv of the Rhead family in throe acls. laid In I SCO. ISSfi and I9IL'. With much klndlv satlro and at tho same time svmpathy. It shows how cuch generation 'malccn the mistake of ihe last and of how Utile value tho experience of ono generation Is to tho next. Tho week or subservient early Victorian girl sacrifices her Invo to the wishes of her parontn In a wav that the modern clrl of tho last act is not In the least disposed to do. The sale' of scats begins today. Thoro is something to nmuse ovcrv-body ovcrv-body nt the Pnntages theater this week. Tho center of attraction Is tho playlet presented by Gertrude Dean For bun and company, entitled "Tho Wild Rose." The Do Forrcsts offer eccentric, and acrobatic dances. Roche nnd Crawford, those silly folks, set out in pursuit of a "dinkns." :ml please the audloncc greatly. "A Lesson In Aviation" Is tho Litlo of the eomcdy act presented by Krcsko and Fox. Tho Wilhat troupo consists of two women wom-en and two men. comedy cyclists. Kauf-inann Kauf-inann and Sawtcll close the bill with a musical act entitled "Tho Dutch Professor Profes-sor and His Pupil." Tho All-Slnr Featuro corporation, makers of tho now famous moMnu picture pic-ture version of Henry M. Blossom's "Checkers." with Thomas W. Ross, has completed a tremendous new film of Rlcliard "i larding DavIs'B grout nlorv and play. oIdleis of Fortune." As a "book, ".Soldioi-N of Fortune" lias been eagerly and widely lead the world over, anil as a play, dramatized by Augustus Thomas, it has been soon by thousn nds. Dustln I-arnum, probablv the most popular of Americas matinor ravorltes. appears in tho leading rolo of Robert Clay. the rugged young American adventurer. The picturo was produced In Cuba under the' personal direction of Augustus Thomas, and with tho aid and co-oporatlon of tho cntlro Cuban army and tho American navy. "Soldiers of Fortune" In six parts will be UiVi attraction at Ihe American theater today, tomorrow and Wednesday. The performances will be continuous from 12 noon to 11 p. m nnd the management man-agement stato that there -will positively bo no ndvunco in prices.
