Pan' Stephens, who opens the bill, is called an extraordinary equilibrist, and he lives up lo the title. Tn some unfortunate unfortu-nate manner he lost one of his legs, but, despite this ha ml i rap, he holds the attention at-tention of the audience and closes with what seems to be a verv trying balancing act.

I The famous Jaekson family. biled to do cvcling feats, failed to appear, as did Charles Gilbert and Harry Wilde, in a sequence of musical numbers." Minnetti and Kidelli, the. boys -with the tables and the chairs, do a lot of clever tumbling, and for those who like-to watch acts that faseina te with their apparent datiger (.hist featuro will hold them- It must have required considerable practice to. after piling five tables one on top of the other and a chair -on top of the top one. mount t he chair, sit upon its back and fall backward from that perch to the stage without injury. The pictures have to do with comedy and win many laughs. IpDMOND HATES, who is producing J his side-splitting farce, "The Piano Movers," at the Orpbeum this week, will be remembered bv old theater-goers as the leading man of the old Lyceum stock compatv during the season of 1895-96. "Yes, I was here sixteen years ago." said Mr. Haves yesterday. "Righ,t across tlie street from where I am now playing stood the old Lyceum. And we had a great company, too." There was where I gave De Witt C. Jennings now one of Irohman s stars, his start in "The Two Orphans." Or-phans." Then there was Maude Edna Hall, now a vaudeville head-liner; head-liner; Wallace Monroe, one of Fr oilman's oil-man's eastern managers; Walter Edwards, Ed-wards, now a star with the "movies: i Fdith Pollock, another of Frohman s i stars; John Williams, H. Coulter Brinker and Charlotte Tittle We had a great season. Salt Lake was then, as it is now1, one of ;the best show towns in the country. But our biggest ly, strange as it may seem, was 'X'ncle Tom's Cabin. There was ah opposition stock company, com-pany, the Grand. We put on all of the latest eastern plays we could get ! and began to run short, so I proposed 1 to the manager that we produce ; "Uncle Tom's Cabin." He gave me the laugh, but consented to give it a trial. All week the house was crowded, crowd-ed, and about the middle of the week I suggested that the play be pro- duced four times on Saturday, and we did it. We played at 10 o'clock in the" morning, 2 and 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and gave the 'usual evening even-ing performance.- How it rained on Saturday! it' fairly poured: but that didn't bother the crowds. The house was packed at every performance and, - the crowds stood In line in the rain 'outside waiting for each audience to get out. ' . Tt was a great season, anil I have always had a warm spot in my heart for Salt Lake. I left here in the spring of '96 and did not return until two years ago on the Orpheum circuit. cir-cuit. For many Veara prior to his debut in vaudeville Mr. Hayes played leading roles with some of the 'biggest companies in- the country. Then he tried stock for about seven years. "I Vas almost a nervous wreck when I decided to give up stock work," Mr. Hayes said. "I couldn t remember a name for two minutes. The strain was too heaw and I decided to try something lighter I like it and expect to stay with it I write mv own plays, and. conse-ciuentlv conse-ciuentlv have nothing to memorize, I work on them a year or more sometimes, and at the close of my engagement try them out in small towns before the next season opens. am now working on one for next year." The following theater notices are marked "advertlEement" In order to comply with a BtricL Interpretation of the federal newspaper law In no sense are they paid advertisement. advertise-ment. They are items furnished by the press agents of tho various theaters. Not a little of the credit for the great success of "Milestones," which has met with such sensational favor in England and America and which will be seen at the Salt Lake theater tomorrow night, is due to Frank Verron, lo whom the authors. Arnold Bennette and Edward Knoblauch, inscribed their play. -"The Girl of the Golden West," the lieantiful western romance produced by .David Belasco, is the offering at the Utah theater this week. Tlie stage settings set-tings are wonderful and tlie drama is one in which several actors have hecome famous. When tlie play was presented here several rears ago the performance lasted until after midnight. The new-company new-company saves nearly an hour's time and yet retains all the scenic effects. Emil Pallenburg, who is presenting an aninfal act at the Orpheum this week, in which bears walk tight ropes, roller skate and ride bicycles about the stage, snva the large bear riding the bicycle was captured in the. forests of Liberia when almost entirely grown. "I caught him n-ivsHf." said Mr. Pallenburg "and he was rpitl e sulky for a few months, hut kind treatment and plenty of loaf 5" gar made a friend of him. 11. took months to teach him In ride his Mfvele and lie is the lirst bra r in the world to do this trick."
