Show iSHOW AT ORPHEUrl 16 BIG ttlil CROSS AND JOSEPHINE PLEASE Large Crowd Applauds Rural Drama on Screen' at Broadway Theater. VERSATILITY Is a predominating feature fea-ture of the Orpheum's new programme. pro-gramme. There 1b something on the bill 1 for the moat staid vaudeville goer, some-i some-i thing that will please a grouch or that will cure the blues. Thero Is music, dancing, singing, some real comedy and some .nonpenne. There in not a really serious moment during the entire per formance. Cross and Josephine, headlined over the other live acts, are clever dancers. Thev have severn 1 songs which, however, are but an introduction to tho dance rnueic. One number, a parody on "Bister bueie s Sewing Shirts for Soldiers," brought down tho house. In introducing the song, however, how-ever, thero hardlv seems to be an excuse for the vulgarity used by Mr. Cross. Manager Man-ager U.vv, no doubt, will insist that the objectionable lines of the act be changed before any further performances are Blven. ' , . , . , "The Broken Mirror." as presented by the Schwarz company; is probably the cleverest of all the acts on the bill, and the two men who are the principal performers per-formers show rare ability as pantomim-tsts. pantomim-tsts. A mirror has been broken by the valet of the master of the house. The valet was trying to kiss the maid when the accident happened. When the master awakens, the pieces of the glass have been hastily gathered together and his valet becomes his doubly Imitating every move in the place where the mirror ought to be. When one considers that the act Is pluyed fourteen times a week and that the two men must of necessity give the pa me identical set. of movements each time, the test of the players' ability becomes be-comes more apparent. In a dancing or singing act a slight change can bo -made and tho audience Is none the wiser. Not so, however, in "The Broken Mirror." One partner could hardly be expected to follow the moves correctly if the other made anv alteration. A former Halt Lake boy and his pretty partner are very nearly as good as the headllners when it comes to dancing, and In the matter of singing and comedy have the latter beaten a mile. George McKay and Ottle Ardlne will give a good account of themselves all week and should meet with the same enthusiastic reception at everv performance as they received lact ; night. j Charles F. Semon, the ' narrow feller, hardlv needs an introduction to Salt Lakers. He has been here several times before and made just the same sort of a solid hit as he does In the present company. com-pany. One misses Somon's favorite joke this year, the one in which he compares his underpinning to the figure, 11. MacRae and Clecg. bicyclists, have the best opening act that has played the Or-p Or-p heum In weeks. When an a udienec is loudlv Insistent In Its approval of an opening act there must be some ability displaved. Tito woman of the pair is billed as "the perfect girl," and probably comes hs near to that mark as any of tho other athletic: voting women who go over the circuit with the fame title. But she can perform a lot of htunts on a bi-evcy "The i:anube quartette, four casting acrobats, ac-robats, t.ave the rtrst act of Its kind to play Salt Luke In many week.

She appeared ap-peared in stock at the Salt Lake theater before Maud Adams entered dramatics. Noticeable among the many excellent features of the act are the gowns worn by the two girls. Both are clever dancers and are pleasing1 In song. Thero is just enough humor, not too much dancing and well chosen songs, making the presentation presenta-tion enjoyable to the most discriminating patrons of vaudeville. Mr. Chamberlain has nn excellent voice. Although this is practically the first appearance ap-pearance of the trio in vaudeville, their number occupies a lead position on this week's bill. George McKay, One-time Salt Laker, Is Making a Hit at the Orpheum. OF unusual Interest to Salt Lakers is George McKay, now playing at the Orpheum. McKay lived in Salt Lake City until he was 12 years of age. But recently re-cently he has claimed New York for his home. McKay has appeared here in vaudeville and in legitimate, productions several times, and he says It has always seemed '. like a home-coming to him, and has given giv-en him the opportunity to notice the rap-' rap-' id growth of the city. On his previous vaudeville engagements he has: appeared with Johnny Cant well, who was at the Orpheum last week, but severaJ months ago Cantwell and McKay dissolved their partnership and each took an attractive woman as a partner in his act. McKay is with Ottie Ardine. a clever dancer with a great kick, who Is an excellent ex-cellent foil for his jests, and who can sing ahout as well as McKav, which Is paying Iter a very high compll nient. McKay arrived iu Salt Lake City last Friday. This enabled him to again meet his tirm-friend, Cantwell. and lie expressed ex-pressed his pleasure with the remark: "For me It Is both a home-comins and a reunion with an old partner." McKay's singing is different. Ho puts so much hustle and snap Into his sonss that they go across with a rang, whether wheth-er the son;: if e-pecUHy worthy or not. However, he 1m thb sjnoii equipped 'utth a b'inU of numbers that are riots in tiwmselves. which, combined' with yf Kay's "punch." makes them la nd. with double strength. Mi.s Ar.iine's dance. like McKay's songs, are ureal, and h enhances them wi; h clever cost nines and a smile tha t ma k'-.s t hein go as big us her partner's songs.
