"The Birthday Present" furnishes MJss Countlss, who, by i the way, is hot unknown to Salt Lake theatergoei-s. having played a scaJ.on In slock in this city, ah opportunity for highly emotional acting. Tho fact that Miss Countlis Is known possibly won more attention for the act than It would ordinarily have received. Nonettc. singing violinist, was possl-blv possl-blv the most applauded of the performers, on tho bill. The little lady has greatly improved since her last appearance In Salt Lake and presents a finished performance. per-formance. She sang and played number i after number last night, the audience only ceasing its applause after Nonctte had spoken her thanks. John F.

Nlek Verga. billed as the Newsboy Caruso, Ca-ruso, sings varied selections, concluding with "Roea Maria," a uuinbor thaC waa much appreciated. The Three Dolce sisters, singers, Ed Gallagher and l3ob Carlln, in a travesty (almost n tragedy! entitled "Before the Mast"; Mario and Duffy, horizontal bar gymnasts, and the moving pictures complete com-plete the programme. The bill as a whole is below tho usual Orpheum standard. BABY MOORE last, night mado hot-bow hot-bow as a ."leading lady." She waa easily the alar of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," produced Inat night In a most excellent ex-cellent mnnncr by the Utah Stock company com-pany the Utah theater. The dear old play seemed better than ever before Tho clever members of the Utah Stock company, com-pany, under the skillful guidance of WUlard WU-lard Mack, got all that was possible out of. the old drama. Tho jarring places in the play they were always there arc somowhaL softened by the atock company. Some of the Impossible situations uro toned down and tha cruelty Is made somewhat some-what lest? apparent than formerly, Tho character of little Eva has always been the saving -feature of the tlmo-hon-ored drama, and lost night an actrcsa of real ability Interpreted tho character. Baby Mooro Is considerably smaller than tho conventional litllo Eva and likewise considerably bettor. The liny little girl showed n comploto mastery over the many lines that fell to her part this week and spoke them with an assurance and at. tho panic time a baby simplicity that wrung tears from the most hardhearted of her auditors. The part gavu her the opportunity opportu-nity for some clever bits of emotional acting act-ing and alio rose lo tho occasion like a seasoned Btar. One was Impressed with the fact that Jiho wan renlly living and not acting tho part-Leon part-Leon McReytmlrtfl waa a particularly lovable old Uncle Tom. Ills makoup waa as perfect as la possible. The personality personali-ty of the actor was completely submerged in the solemn old slave. Ab Uncle Tom, Mr. McRcyuolds easily surpassed by a large margin most of the actors who have appeared In that role. Ho seems to Interpret In-terpret the character in the rnanner that ono would easily bcllnvn Mrs. Stowe intended. in-tended. Wlllard Mack risked losing- the adoration adora-tion of tho matinoo girls by appearing as -Simon Lcgrcc, about as vile n villain as any melodramatlHt over created. Mr. i Mack makes the character milch less repulsive re-pulsive than docn the average "Uncle Tom'n Cabin" villain. Incidentally, Mr. I Mack'a deft hand Is everywhere evidenced j In tho stupendous actinic production und the absolute accuracy of the stage settings. set-tings. j Miss Marjorie Rambeau appeared as Cassle. but had little to do; that little, however, Is done well as usual. Arthur Morse Moon as Marks, Miss Eleanoro I labor as Topsy and Miss Pearl Ethler handle the rough comedy of the play In a most acceptable manner. The support of all the minor parts of the play contributes greatly to tho success suc-cess of the production, which may truly bo said to be one of the very best the old play lias over had.
