It will bo the biggest scenic production cvor attempted by a local stock companv. A lato version, produced recently at the Acadcmv of Music in Xew York, is the one selected by the Muok-Ttambcau players. Every material character will l)e portrayed, aud thcro will bo some cabin, the cotton fields, and the river separating Kentucky aud Ohio. There will be Marks and fiis mule, Little. L'va and her pony, Legrcc and his bloodhounds, blood-hounds, the cotton picking slaves, dancing pickaninnies (real negroes), Eliza and her baby, and all the characters char-acters and scenes that, havo lived in tho memory of every person who saw the wonderful drama years ago. "Uncle. Tom's Cabin" as it will be presonted this week at the Utah, is in fivo acts and as many scenes. If opens with a scene at Uncle Tom 's cabin in Kentucky when Gcorgo Harris and Eliza are trying to cfoanc from their brutal rnastor. Then follows tho Ftory of the sale of "Uncle Tom to Lo-greo; Lo-greo; the appearance of Littlo Eva; the troubles oi Harris and Kliza; the funny antics of Murks, the lawver; tho auction scene; the murder of Tom bv Legrcc and the killing of the latter by one of his female slaves. A colored quartette has been engaged for the production pro-duction and somo singing worth going miles to hear will be among the features fea-tures of the attraction. Everyone knows tho story of how Eliza with her baby crossed the ice closely pursued by bloodhounds. Sho finds rcliigc in the homo of Senator Bird in Ohio, where attempts aro made to take her and George Harris back. Then comes tho scene on the deck of tho Mississippi steamor, La Belle Riv-iore, Riv-iore, b'tifC nt Natchez. Then the scene shifts to tnc villa of St. Claire on Lnke Pontchartrain, where Eva dies, and finally Legrcc 's plantation, where old Tom is beaten to death by the fipndish Legrcc. It was at first intended that Mr. Mack would play tho title role, but it was decided later that he would essay the role of Lcgrce. the ' first "heavy 'I ho hns played in this city, and it will oc something quite unusual to sec him in a role of this character. The part of Uncle Tom will bo plavod by Leon Mclicynolds, ami his trieiids may look for a fino piece of work. Howard Scott will play the part of Mr. Shelby, that delightful old gentleman gentle-man who snod so much sunshine in dark place., Marks, tho lnwyor. will be played bv Arthur Morso Moon, honce tlicre will be no lack of comedy, lie will be provided with his mule. Frederick Sumner has been cast for the part of George Harris. St. (Mairn will be played bv Millnrd K. "Wilson. Arthur Price will play Senator Bird. TCoscoe Anhworth will'be .cmi as Sheriff Dnbhs and there will be a core of other main . Larartcr-, including the singers, slaves and pickaninnies.

Alice Conrad has been -riven the part of Mrs. Bird and Miss "Holle will plav Kmmelinc. 1 he part of Little Bvif will be in the clover hands of Babv Moore, who made a big hit in "The Man Who Stood Still. There will be matinees Thursdav and Saturday and there will be no advance in price's for the big show. THIS afternoon at the Orpheum Salt Lakers will welcome back a that favorite actress, f'athnnc Countiss, who made such an impression im-pression during her loo brief appearance appear-ance in stock in this city two years ago. Miss Countiss is now enrolled among the legitimate slars who havo selected vaudeville in which to make a headline iippcarancc. Her vehicle is a pathetic little drama called "The Birthday Present." Like most act-rcssos, act-rcssos, this Pacific coast star of John Cort went cast, in search of Broadway honors. Her chance presented itself almost al-most immediately in tho form of an engagement en-gagement to create tlio role of Vhi in George Bernard iShaw's much discussed play, "Mrs. Warren's Profession." After that she starred nt the head of hor own company in "Tho Awakening of Helena Ritch'ic" and "The White Sister." It was Robert Ililliard who encouraged her to go into vaudeville ami from the first Miss Countiss has been a pronounced hit. Second on the new bill comes "stage-land's "stage-land's paramount, pretentious aquatic spectacle, introducing John F. Conroy. the world's greatest life savor (with i;:7 lives to his credit), assisted by his models ami diving girls." This act is magnificently staged with beautiful scenic and electrical effects and a real waterfall, the whole produced at a cost of SoDU. There, ig a massive tank con laining ifiOO callous of water which is built upon the stage to lepresenl a pool in a wooded dell, ami a large mirror is placed at. each angle to enable the ainlience to sec even- movement of the swimmers. The girls assisting Mr. Con-rov Con-rov are beautiful in face and figure, and-, altogether, the act is a novelty, opening as it does with poses and exhibitions ex-hibitions of muscular development and control. Ed Gallagher and Bob Carlin arc scheduled to offer a nautical travesty called "Before tho Mast." The scene of tho dialocuo takes place on tho deck of a battleship. From the time it starts until the finale of hc battle of Vanilla bay their offering is said to be one big scream. Another pojmlar number on the new-bill new-bill will be iNonette, the singinc violinist violin-ist "with '. voice, good looks and personality, person-ality, a combination of three gifts that is compelling. Another charming offering will be presented by a trio of pretty girls billed as the Dolce Sisters. They make tho jiin.-t of their appearance by wearing pretty frocks and making a number of changes, while their songs carry appeal. Mario and Duffy, eccentric gymnasts, have a corking cood act destined to capture cap-ture the hands during the coming week. Nick Verga, a good looking youngster i with an "angel voice," and billed as "tho newsboy Caruso," is destined to offer aricd selections in a fashion calculated cal-culated to score with his auditors. Then the exclusive "motion photo-drama photo-drama will be a first run Lubin film called "The Pale of Prejudice," telling tell-ing the story of a young doctor whoso license was Vovokcd. A 'love story and the final vindication of tho physician form the plot. Tho Orpheum symphonv orchestra, under tho direction of Ed J. Fitzpat-rick, Fitzpat-rick, has in preparation several selections selec-tions from popular operas for tho concert con-cert prior to each performance. Next week the Road Show, that annual event, will hold tho boards at the Orpheum. Or-pheum. I p OMETHING new a bill that covers every angle of vando-villo" vando-villo" is tho way one of Salt Lake's best known dramatic roviowcrs characterized- tho present bill at the Empress, when the prograinmo opened at that house Wednesday. And ho was right. It is doubtful if so diversified a vaudeville vau-deville bill hns been seen locally this season. The acts run the length and breadth of the variety amusement field. The head'iner is the farce, "A Night, nt the Bath," with Baker and Wright heading the company of a dozen or more comedians who enact the roles of the occupants of tho cooling room of a fashionable Turkish bath establishment establish-ment in the small hours of the morning after a night about, town. Baker and Wright impersonate two brakemen who are introduced to tho Turkish bath for the first time nnd the line of fun they delixcr is f ide splitting. Monde and Sallo in their surprise act have- proven one of tho biggest hits of the bill and their singing and dancing is of as high a mark sis their ability to impersonate. D'Arev and Williams are two of the best ragtime singers and dancers ol. tho season and the things they do with the latest rag songs and the part they make a piano play in the act are to- jovs tho distinction of being tho strongest strong-est woman in the world. Her act of weight lifting is a snlondid feature of tho Empress bill. L-ow Wells is another an-other feature of the week, with his saxophone and monologue, while Wil-lisch, Wil-lisch, the .iugcler, proves up hundsomc-Iv hundsomc-Iv on all that was promised for him by Manacor Conk. The pictures are eu-i.irehdifforent eu-i.irehdifforent this week at the Empress Em-press and have earned a place oT their own on the bill, which runs through until un-til next Tuesday night. For the propamine thai opens I lie coming Wednesday afternoon at the Enrprnas there has been announced a headline feature that will create more than ordinarv. interest among Salt Lakers and particularly the youngsters, who have learned to look lo the Sulli-.-aii-Considine house for the unusual features of vaudeville that delight vouthfiil minds. The feature is Prince Floro, the world famous man-monkey. Tho chimpanzee is one of the most remarkable re-markable auimals ever trained for appearance ap-pearance in public. He smokes a pipe, ride everv manner of bicycle imaginable, imagin-able, drink's, e.ils at the table with knife and fork, plavs billiards, and divests himself of his' clothing without aid. No trainer appears during his act. "A Night at the PoUce Si at ion." with a bevy of pretty girls and clever comedians, will be the sketch end of the new bill and the other features of the programme include Mary Dorr, a -pri"htlv, prettv comedienne, who is no stranger locally; Sam Wilson and Bob Rich in dark-face specialties; the first American appearance of Arthur Gcarv. the London music hall star, who is billed as "the red hussar." and the first appearance also of the famous continental troupe. Lcs Trio Mornndiui, bamboo ladder and pole equilibrists. "Many new features are on the way to the Salt Lake Empress," said Manager Man-ager Cook yesterday in discussing coming com-ing bills. ""1 have never seen a bet- centric dancers, at tho Pajitagcs theater. gcther rosponsiblo for a Ihcly and musical mu-sical twenty minutes. If shapeliness, strength, per fool bodily proportions and the ability to pose artistically ar-tistically are a winning ' combination, then Katie Saudwina may well expect to finish her engagement at the Empress Em-press this week with even more admirers admir-ers than she has already attracted. Miss Saudwina is billed as "the modem mod-em Venus" and her billing is apparently appar-ently correct. She is one of the most beautiful women now appearing on the American stage and in addition she en ter list of features than our eastern booking agents have just reported on." ONE could scarcely ask for more in a vaudeville way than the offering this week at the Pnn-tages Pnn-tages theater.

Her offerings will be representative of the very best in tcrpsiehorcan art. She will run the gamut of the most attractive mrapurcs ever devised, from the traditional classic clas-sic ballet to the most modern and popular dances. "The appeal of Pavlowa Pav-lowa is In all because it is the appeal of perfection to humanity." This from tho London (England) Standard seems In epitomize the genius of this peerless flanseuse. Cultivated taste is not essential for appreciation of (ho artirtry of Pavlowa. She interprets in a language all her own n beauty that is understood by everybody, and her every move, gesture and expression personifies per-sonifies eloquence. In fliort, sho is a revelation at h II times and seems more wonderful ovorj' time she is seen. AFTER two sensons of the most remarkable re-markable businoFs ever done by a musical comedy in theatrical history, Gus Hill offers a second sec-ond edition of (hat famous Bud Fisher cartoon coined v conceit, "Mutt and Jeff, entitled! '"'Mutt. and. Jeff in Pan-ama.' Pan-ama.' The new book, by Owen Davis and1 Bud Fishr, gives still greater scope for good comedy and keen satire thnn tho original production. An entiroly new musical hcore is furnished by Leo Edwards, with lyrics by D. B. Cobb. Men of this caliber, coupled with the producing experience of the dean of cartoon car-toon comedy productions, Gus Hill, should be ablo to turn out a masterpiece master-piece of hilurinus fun, and I hoy undoubtedly un-doubtedly have done so. Having already denned up a snug fortune on this play in the past two seasons, Mr. Hill has gone tho limit in making this the most stupendous offer iug of" tho current year. A scenic, and electrical production with massho and intricate mechanical effects is something some-thing unknown in musical comedies in mission to any and all dissatisfied patrons pa-trons of the popular show at tho close of each performance. Soats should be engaged a full week in advance, as this attraction has never played to .empty seats, ami naturally you want to get the best.
