HE most talked of play of many I years, interpreted by a rcmark-I rcmark-I nolo company, will bo seen at tho Salt Lake, theater next Wednesday, Wednes-day, when "Milestone?," the famous comedy by Arnold Bennett nnd Edward Knoblauch, comes to the old playhouse for u season of four nipbte and Saturday Satur-day matinee. Something out of tho ordinary was expected when tho brilliant essayist. Bennett, collaborated with the gittod dramatist, Knoblauch, tho author ot "Kisinot," and something out ot the ordinary was I ho result. ''Milestones' ran for two years at tho Royalty theater the-ater in London and one entire, year at the Liberty theater in New Ycrk. Historically, as well as dranhtically, "Milestone ' is of unusual 5nUest, for the three sceues all take place in the ame room, the first in lhi)n the hoc ond in 1 b.sn and the third in 1012 and as tho play prognoses one witnesses the market! elianges in dress, furniture, decorations, as well as sentiments and manners. Several of tho characters are carried along by tho tame players through youth, mntnrity and finally old ago and tho selection of artists who could do justice to such a Ui-jk was a matter of infinite care on the part of th management. The story shows the lifo of two fain ilie- through three generations. John (ihead, hipbuilder, defie his own and partner's lumilics. dissolves partnership an-) ex en risks losing his fiance bo-cau bo-cau he will go in for building ships of iron instead of wood. Twenty-five years Inter the same John Hhen'd, married, prosperous and about to become a baronet, bar-onet, opposes a proposition to build ship of stoI instead of iron, a project ' devised by his daughter's sweetheart a brainy young draughtsman. He prevents pre-vents his "daughter from marrying the choice of her. heart and makes her cjpoiihc a peer old enough to be her father.

Willis Savro. tho veteran Scene from "Milestones," at tho Salt iako theater four days boglniilJig Wednesday. critic on the Seattle Times, said a few weeks ago: "Vindication" is an imprcseive answer to tho aerobats nnd the other earlier denizens of variety, who have from time to time complained com-plained that tho dramatic act doesn't belong in tho two-a-day. Kvcn allowing for all sorts of differences dif-ferences iu tastes, nine out of ten Orpheum patrous would probably Edwin Milton Koylo, author of "Tho Squaw Man." Mr. Koylc writes to his sister, Mrs. E. B. Palmer of Salt Lake, as follows: "We saw 'The Squaw Man' pictures lnt!t Tue-day and tuny arc trouiendous-13 trouiendous-13 effective and iu soino place truly beautiful, rnruum is charming iu them, and an Indian irl, Med wine, was a revelation as .N'at-U-Bitch." The picturo will bo cen at tho fcx tomorrow, tomor-row, Tuosday and Wednesday. say that "Vindication" was tho best act thoy had seeu this season. ATnudeville would have a new mean-inp mean-inp for man j people if Willard Mack or pome other author would write more sketches of tho quality of this one. With that talented American actor, Frank Keenan, placing the role of the southerner superbly, "Vindication" hits ono's sympathy, ono'a lovo of fair play, oihi'h' patriotism, ono's heart every finer emotion, in fact. It is a gripping little incident, and in Air. Kecuan 'a portrayal of the old man ho presents a cameo of a fast-passing generation gen-eration that is a masterpiece Edna Shownltcr is Jistcd second on tho new bill. This talented soprano will be recalled as tho original Minnie in tho English production of Puccini's operatic version of "The Girl of tho Golden West." With tho prcsj.go of having been a member of tho Metropolitan Metro-politan Opera company and a soprano soloist of such notable organizations us the New York Symphony orchestra, ibo lt'ussian Symphony, People's Symphony, Sym-phony, and, in fact, with every notable orchestra iu eastern America, she is now making her first appearance in vaudei illc. Paul Conchas rcprcHCutti tho perfect physical development, and, incidentally, with the aid of a finished comedian, puts up a remarkable' strong man act. Jlis success in feats of strength won for him in the German army tho title of Kaiser Wilhelm's Military Hercules. His act from first to last is said to stand in a class by itself. Olaudo and Fanny Usher aro coming back again. As usual, thoy aro not re-prating, re-prating, but aro presenting a new sketch, this time appearing in "The straight Path." This story of a wayward way-ward brother and the efforts of a de-oted de-oted sister to get him to reform is said to be even better than "Fagin's Decision" De-cision" and tho other playlets presented pre-sented here in the past by tins talented pair. As usual, "Sparoribs" has a thinking part in the new dramalct. Smith and Cool: have been prominent commanding ofiicers iu tho army of lfiugh promoters for so long that their -i!;it. "The Millionaire?, " Is recognized as the heavy artillery iu the struggle against gloom. Mario Brandon, a nandsomc, talented, vivacious voting woman, has. been detailed to duty with thein. All three tire volleys or hot shot into their audiences, which surrender sur-render to laughter after tho first round. Frank Parish is billed as the jumping, jump-ing, dancing, musical marvel, offering an original, eccentric, artistic, sensational sensa-tional act and that about covers his caso correctly. II is long suit is tho concertina, which ho plavs like a master. mas-ter. Tho Imperial Male Quartette is another an-other fenturc on tho new bill calculated calcu-lated to arouse enthusiasm. These four young men aro possessed of good solo voices that blend together splendidly, and their offering ranges from ballads to rags and patter songs well put over. The exclusive first run motion pictures pic-tures come iu the form of a corking good comedy film, and the symphouv orchestra, under the direction of Ed J. Fitzpntrick, will render a couccrt of selected music prior to each performance. l The Banjo Phcto tho bill op THE hosts of friends of tho popular popu-lar staiv, Willard Mack and Mar-jorie Mar-jorie llambeau, will have an opportunity op-portunity of witnessing their farewell performance at tho Utah theater the-ater for the week, beginning tonight. ?rr. Mack and Miss liambenu arc to bo scon iu that mojt famous of Charles Hoyj 's plays. "A Texas Steer." It. wiil be the opinion of all who see this performance thnt Mr. Mack and Miss Rambcau do exceptional work in an exceptional ex-ceptional play. This production of tho noted playwright play-wright abounds iu screamingly funny situations and clever climaxes. It is full of joy and laughter, with just a light vein of pathos that adds to 'ts interest. The principnl character is Maverick Brander, a Texas catrlemnn of unlimited unlim-ited means. Krandcr, though of the unpolished un-polished type, has" an -acute mind and active brain. His wife and daughter are very anxious to have the hii-dmnd and father shine politically. Social po- fition in Washington is their dream. While Brander is awav from home they, assisted bv Brander 's cow-punch- j ing" friends, scheme to obtain Bran-dcr'5 Bran-dcr'5 nomination for United States sen-1 ator. Thoy succeed, but when Brander J returns and it is put up to him ho balks, nnd only relents and decides to accept when be is forced to face the guns of his ambitious friends. "Bossie" Brnndor. the daughter, is J engaged to one Captain Fairleigh Bright. After Blunder's election w'o find l he familv situated in a fashionable fashion-able hotel at Washington. D. C. On ac-eounl ac-eounl of the unfashionable attire of Bossie and her mother and their uncouth un-couth rummers, the eaptnin breaks off his engagement with the girl. About this time an adventuress in tho rolf of a "Quaker girl" appears on the scene. She manages to become acquainted with Brander, and finally induces him to kiss her by saying that her mother had once kissed Daniel Webster. Tho girl's accomplice takes a picture at The psychological moment, and a goodly sum' nf money is extorted ex-torted from Brander undor threat of exposure of the matter. Alter two yeara at Washington we find tho Branders with the rough edges worn off, correct in dress and re.fuiod in manner. The senator introduces a bill that docs not please his constituents constitu-ents and an investigating commitlco calls upon him to demand an explanation. explana-tion. This committee, composod of Colonel Yell, Colonel Bragg ami Colonel Colo-nel Blow, are invited by Brander to a dinner. This dinner is tho most interesting in-teresting scene in the play. Colonel : Brassv Gall makes a speech that so ex cites his hearers that they feel constrained con-strained to draw their rovolvers and shoot up the house, which they proceed to do. One shot goes through tho ceiling ceil-ing and wounds one of tho hotel guests, who is ill in his room. The funny side of the audience will be appealed to when tho senator kindly offers to put the sufferer out of his" misery. Mr. Mack has the rolo of Maverick Brander and Miss Itamboau, as Bossio, will be admired more than ever. Mrs. Hambeau will be seen a Mrs, Brander Bran-der and" Miss Morland as the Quaker girl, and Arthur Morse. Moon in the role of an old colored servant will be much appreciated. Howard Scott, as Colonel Brassv Gall, has a chance to do somo of his best work. Arthur J. Price i cast for Major Yell and Frank .Tonasson for Colonel Pcnuer. Leon Mc-Keynolds, Mc-Keynolds, Miss Haber, Mr. Sumner and oth"er favorites of the Utah company are included in the cast. The farewell performance, in which Mr. Mack. Miss Rambcau and Mrs. Kambeaii will appear, starts tonight, continuing through tho week, with Thursdnv nnd Saturday matinee. Professor Pro-fessor Wcihe has arranged for an unusually un-usually attractivo musical programme. A WEEK of whirlwind melody, interspersed in-terspersed with just enough novelty nov-elty and daring to spico the programme pro-gramme up to top-notch, opens at the Empress this afternoon with tho matinco performance, nnd unless the expectations ex-pectations of those who have seen many of the acts on tho bill elsewhere aro disappointed, the week will bo one of tho most enjoyable" for local playgoers the Empress has afforded in several mouths. Salt Lakers aro always responsive to music to a far greater degree than vaudeville performers eucounler in' other cities, so they declare. If this may be taken as a criterion for the coming week at the Empress, the thrco big musical acts ou tho bill will have all the best of it. The Six Banjo Phiends, one of tho biggest and brightest of the new musical musi-cal spectacles in vaudeville, headlines the bill, nnd it is a feature that has never been seen locally before. The sex tette not onlv play everything imaginable imagin-able ou the lianjo, but in addition use various other instruments. They carry a carload of special scenery and'effects and the act will be handsomely staged. Lugi Dell Oro, tho famous Italian, who plays tho accordion with his hands and tho harmonpedia with his feet, is another feature for which the Sullian-C Sullian-C n'idinc people may be thanked. Dell Ore is recognized as a musical geuius. The harmonpedia is his own invention and is one of the mo.it wonderful musical musi-cal instrument: in the world. Burkt and Harrison have sent on mighty little in the way of advance press notices of their act. and apparently are saving tho majority of the sketch aa a urpri?e for Salt Laker?. A famous American humoris-t wrote th sketch in which they apprar and thoy have proven great favorite obowhere on the Em-pre? Em-pre? circuit this your. Leonard and Louis aro the thrill-dis-pollers of tho new bill today and thov term themselves "the Fashion Plates,'' Theirs is an act that for years graced one of the biggest circus performances in the country, and this winter thoy have evolved many new features fo'r their vaudeville ongngomont over the Emnres4 circuit. "Billy" Walsh, as he is affectionately affection-ately known to thousands of playgorB o-ver the country, and W. F. Lynch and Gertrude Lawrence are three artists who will bo seen in tho one-act bucolic playlet, "Huckin'fl Run." Tho sketch s one of thoo dolicioutly funnv small ktewn affairs in which Mr. Walsh plays Itfco role of Billy Bntts from the cast t -ide in New York and Mr. Lynch plavs a duo of character.

"When Dreams Comn True" is the title of tho Koystono comedy film for tho wcok that 'begins with this afternoon's after-noon's matinee at tho Empress, and Manager Cook declares it is ono of tho funniest of tho famous Koystono laugh-makers. laugh-makers. These films. have quickly become be-come a great feature at tho Empress and aro stoadil- growing in popularity. The usual special Sunday matinee prices will bo in effect this" aflcrnoon at tho Empress and tho bill runs through the week to como, closing next Saturday Hiyl't- WITH a bill that offers tho limit of variety in vaudeville, tho Pautages is scoring another big week. The new programme-opened programme-opened last Wednesday afternoon, headed by Gertrude Dean Forbes and her clover company of artists in one of the most ploabing comodv playlets of the season entitled "Tho Wild Jtosc." Miss Forbos is familiar to all followers of tho "movies." That there aro at least sonic advantages for the man who possesses an old-fashioned and affectionate wife is apparently demonstrated to tho satisfaction ol. the house. The parts aro sustained by Gertrude Ger-trude Dean Forbes, aetress-plnywnght; Shclton Minor and Wilford Jessop. Jos-sop Jos-sop gets through a. lot of high pressure work which aids largely in tho success of the sketch. Roche and Crawford set out to catch a "dinkus" and in their pursuit the audience will follow merrily behind. In fact, one is sorry whon. tho animal leads tho two comedians off the slugc. Anothor feature on the programme is offered by tlm Wilhat troupe, which consists of two pretty young women and two men, comedy cyclists. Clever Ed Krcsko and" daintv Eva l'j ox, best known to vaudcvillo as Krcsko ami Fo.v, present their new comedy skit.

THERE is little need to introduce "The Squaw Mau,,J Edwin Milton Mil-ton Boylo or Dustin Farnum to Salt Lakers. Tho play is well known locally, its. author ' is a Salt Laker and Dustin Farnum, creator of the part, has a position so fully established estab-lished in the dramatic world and is so groat a favorite here that the mere announcement an-nouncement of his name commands admiring ad-miring attention. The enterprise of Manager A, .7. .Davis of tho Bex theater has made it possible for Salt Lakers to sec "The Squaw Man" in motion pictures hero tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday. The picture, consisting of six reels, was taken largely iu Utah. Tho great merit and wide famo of tho play itself and tho magnificent mounting given the picture pic-ture by Jesse Lanky, the producer, caused a veritable scramble amoug exhibitors ex-hibitors for the privilege of presenting it. Mr. Davis's efforts, wore so signally successful as to ssccuro the picture for three days hero within two weeks after its completion. Those who have witnessed and become be-come enthusiastic ovor tho oral production produc-tion of "The Squaw Man" will be especially interested iu knowing how tho play lends itself to screen dramatization. drama-tization. Mr, 7oylc is delighted with his play iu picture- form, and other distinguished dis-tinguished critics are profuse in their compliments of it. Lesley Mason saysj in the Motion Picture N'e'ws: "St may even be snid fhat some-thing has been gained through tho camera which was forbidden to the stage because of its limitations. The thrilling scenes at the Lnglish Derby, where tho Furl di Kcr-hill Kcr-hill makes the disastrous plunge fhat eventually ends in his cousin shouldering shoulder-ing the burden of tho family's dishonor and going into voluntary' exile; the finely executed scenes of tho burning schooner in midocean and tho rcscuo of the enstaways these an1 others during iho course of tho six vroels that loll the story of 'The Squaw Man,' represent rep-resent the triumph of tho picture over tho stage production. 5 ' IStlward Abelcs telegraphed one of tho producers: "T havo seen 'The Squaw Man,' and it is absolutely the most wonderful picture I have over looked at. It is a living, breathing, red-blooded drama, expressing nil tho most wonderful of human emotions in a masterful way. The cast is exceptionally- fino and Farnum 's work is absolutely ab-solutely superb. Let me congratulate you on having tho best picturo of the decade." Another reason for keen local interest inter-est in the production is the fact that most of the westorn scenes were taken iu Utah. Some- of these have been especially commended by the reviowcrs. The . presentation of "The Squaw Man" will be accompanied by appropriate appro-priate music by the Bex theater all-soloist all-soloist orchestra. Tho feature of today's bill at the Bex is "The-Law of His Kind," illustrating il-lustrating a British army officer's conception con-ception of tho obligation put on him by a gentleman's standards of honor. WD. TAYLOR aud Bertie Pit-cairn Pit-cairn are strong leads in the powerful two-act Vitagraph feature, "Tho Master of the Mine" Two old mon, one an impoverished impover-ished aristocrat aud tho othor a wealthy weal-thy mino owner of tho middle class, arrange a matrimonial alliance between the former daughter and Ihc hitter's sou. The girl, although sho does not love him, consents to marry Arthur, but shortly afterward tells him sho is going go-ing homo. .Before sho leaves there is a terriblo explosion at the mino and several miners arc ontombed. The young master risks his own life in rescuing res-cuing others and his wife begins to realize how much ho means to her. "Tho Master of the Mine1' will be the special attraction at tho Mchcsy today, one day only. "Tho Eternal Duel, ' a Lubin drama of tho present uprising in Mexico, is also on today's programme. Marshall Ncilcn, the favorite fa-vorite comedian, will bo seen in a roaring rural comedy, "Vaccinating a "Village," showing ihc novel method employed b3 a poor young physician in securing patients aud incidentally money. |
