Fuller Sisters Please Music Lovers at the Salt, Lake Theater. T OVERS of folk songs and surely there are few who are not will find in the Fuller sisters at the Salt Lake theater a treat as refreshing as it is unusual. A frankly delighted audience welcomed thorn last night. Tonight they will offer a programme pro-gramme of different songs, all from the category known as folk songs, however. To the wholesome, homely ditties of the English, Scotch and Irish peasant folk the Fuller sisters lend a sweetness of voice and a charm of personality that make them irresistible. They dress in 'the quaint hoopskirts of a hundred years ago, and the songs they sin- date back much further, even. They are the songs of the soil, expressing the intimate humanities hu-manities of the peoples who are the backbone back-bone of those countries, reflecting their lives, their loves, their work and their play. The humorous, the pathetic and the romantic phases of the existence of the common folk are revealed in them as upon a canvas. The Fuller sisters appear to have made an intimate, sympathetic study of tlits vast field of folic lore, and have found it a vehicle, for the expression of a high order of art. They, themselves, are quaint and simple like their songs. Their ongfc are grouped in relation to the phases of life they tell of, and selected se-lected with reference to the different parts of England, Scotland and Ireland, suii a s "Songs of Old, Forgotten, Far-off Far-off Trn'ngf-V "Fairy Tales." "Songs of Occupation." "Songs of .Frolic and Mirth" j and "Songs Comic and Humorous." One song, "I Would That Wars Wore WHl Over." moved the auditors partiou- ! larly last night, so plaintively, so sweetly was it sung. It dealt with wars of two hunrlrel years ago, but It was especially approprintf. for it told of English soldiers in France and Flanders battling for their king. The Miss Fuller who sang it .put a tear into her voice and. if we were not mistaken, there was one in the corner of her eye as well. Theirs is a rare and wholly delightful sort of entertainment. It was not a large house that heard them last night, but It was .keenly appreciative. Foreign Dancers Are Captivating Great Audiences at the Orpheum j Theater.

Their programme consists of only two glances. However, in .these two numbers i the liRht-footed Soltis do more than two ordinary dancing acts. Their first offering is known as the Viennese waltz, and with 1 this they start their act where most performers per-formers leave off. It requires fast dancing ! and much grare and agility to present i the Viennese waltz as these people do. 1 Their speomi offering is a mimic dance i .which I ells the story of a J'arisan co- j tjuette who has u massed a consul era hie j fortune. j An adventurer captivates her and uses ! his protestations of love to rob her of her ! money, aft-r which the adventurer throws , her over.
