"When Love Leads," Kay-Bee feature, MRS, PATRICK CAMPBELL will open the soas on at the Salt Lake theater on September 6. v Her appearance in r 'Pygmalion, 'Pygma-lion, " a most recent play by George Bernard Shaw, is the resuJt, as usual, of Mr. Shaw's careful, systematic methods of work. As a dramatic critic Mr. Shaw has ben admiring Mrs. Patrick Campbell's art for many years. At random we quote from Mr. Shaw's rriticism of Mrs. Patrick Campbell in ! the interval o years to proT e h o w well this distinguished actress has fastened fast-ened herself upon the mental vision of G. Bernard Shaw. If George Bernard Shaw wrote at one time that there were always plenty of good enough looking actresses for the plays of others, but never for his own. maintaining that the author of a play is the onJy person who really v. ants ever." detail of a production to be correct, it must have been before the days of Mrs. Patrick Campbell on the English stage. Shaw's brilliantly scathing criticisms criti-cisms of the English plays and play-era play-era are well known. ' Those who think the things I say severe, or even malicious, should see things I do not say." he retorted and proceeded to turn upside down every bit of the play from the powder on the heroine's arms to the misinterpretations of the most intensely emotional scene. But Mr. Shaw's criticisms of -Mrs. Patrick Campbell have been as noticeably notice-ably kind, as clever. Her grace of movement and personal charm and striking beauty have always drawn from him the highest praise. "And Mrs. Patrick Campbell, what of her?" he asked when Mrs. Campbell Camp-bell appeared in "For the Crown," at the Lyceum theater in London. "On thfe highest plane one does not act. one is. Go and see her move, stand, speak, look, kneel, go and. breathe the magic atmosphere that is created by all these deeds, and then people talk to me of acting. .Forsooth! No, Mrs. Campbell's ''Militza' is an embodied poem." Her charming' characterization of " Juliet, " played with Forbes-Robertson in London as early as 18H5, called forth the kindest of criticism from Shaw's pen. "As 'Juliet' she still fita herself with the hospitably manly heart without effort, simply because she is wonderf al person, not only in mere facial prettlness but in the extraordi-ury extraordi-ury swiftness and certainty of her physical self-command. I am convinced that Mrs. Campbell conld thread a needle with her toes at the first attempt at-tempt as rapidly, as smoothly, as prettily pret-tily and with as much attention to spare for doing anything else at the same time a-s aba can play an arpog-guy. arpog-guy. This physical talent, which is seldom sel-dom consciously recognized oxrept when it is professedly specialized in some particular direction, will, when accompanied accom-panied by nimbleness of mind, qnick observations and lively theatrical instinct, in-stinct, carry any actress with a rush to the front of her profession as it haa carried Mrs. Campbell." And so it has been with her in othee interpretations. In com pari ng the "Mrs. Kbbsmit.h" of Mrs. Campboll with the "Mrs, Ehbsmith " of Olg othorsolo, who played it later, Shaw said: "Mrs. Campbell's extraordinary prrwer of: doing anything surely and Swiftly with her hands whilst zhft it acting, proocenpation seeming nn embarrassment em-barrassment unknown to her, is a peruana! per-uana! peculiarity which eannot r'-aon-abiy be demanded of her oompetitnrs. " After a hystoriral fbsenite actress, who had ranted through the lines or "Eita" in "Little- Eyolf," had given irp hnr place to Mrs. Campbell, bhaw eaid: "After all, it is the JbsenUo people who create tho objections to Ibsen. Ib-sen. If Mrs. Campbell had played 'Kito? from the first not a word would have been said agaiiiat the play." TffK w-eWjma news has been sprung ---Salt Iake is to again enjoy Orpheum vandevDIo.

In addition to the high-class instrumental instrumen-tal number offered by the Kirksmith winters, they appear in a vocal sextettn which charms the audience with i t h harmony. har-mony. The girls are exquisitely gowned in the latest Parisian creations, and thftj act is beautifully staged in a tnagnit'i-rent tnagnit'i-rent ft reck t phi pie in which brazen incense in-cense lamps cant a weird light, on the scene with their scarlet flames.

Of unusual Interest to Salt Lake's thoator goers will be the presentation of "Fung Choy," a Chinese romantic operetta, composed by Rodney W H il-latn il-latn of this city, and In which Mr. 11 il-lam il-lam will be seen in the role of Kwong Choup, while the loading woman of the sketch is a girl who is-already popular in alt Leko, Agues Von Drocht. Miss Von Brocht lias appeared two seasons at the Newhonsc hotel nnd hns toured the Pantages circuit three times. She is a dramatic soprano with an unusual voice and splendid ability. Six dainty Salt Lake girls will make up the chorus, these six jfirls being Dorothy Dor-othy Young, Vcro Taf t, Noreno Robinson, Robin-son, EUvuior Robinson, Lucile Horner and Laura Smith. Tom Blake, the leading man of the play, will be impersonated bv Lester Iiec.se, a well-known Salt Lake tenor nnd Clifford Van Bach will take one of the principal parts in tho production. Cecil J. Stewart is concertmaster for "Fung Choy," and if the rehearsals are any criterion, Mr. Hillom is destined to win fame with his new operetta. Aft-e- the week at the Pantages. "Fung Choy" will be sent over the Pantages circuit. JUSTUS MILES FORM AX, the brilliant bril-liant young American writer who went heroically to an untimely death on the torpedoed Lusitania, wrote many brilliant aud fascinating stories of life as it is, but none that proved more popular or added more to nis fame than the tense and gripping "The Garden of Lies," which not only enjoyed widespread favor in book form, but had a sensationally successful engagement en-gagement on the stage. The Garden of Lies" now comes in exquisite photoplay form, announced as the photodrama or the year, setting a new artistic - and dramatic, standard. M iss Jane Cowl, than whom there is no more beautiful and capable actress on the American stage, takes the leading lead-ing role in "The Garden of Lies," which opens a four-day engagement this afternoon at the ever-popular Liberty theater. This unusual story of Justus Mile Form an 's, with its heart-gripping plot and tense and vivid dramatic action, was selected as a fitting vehicle for Miss Cowl's initial entry into the silent drama. The photoplay has been made without regard to expense as a Broadway Broad-way Universal feature, and as such it is proving evei more pleasing and successful suc-cessful than ' ' N-andal, ' ' another Broadway Broad-way Universal' feature, which delighted such large audiences last week at the Liberty. Miss Cowl, in "The Carden nf Lies," should prove a wonderful attraction, and reports from other cities where this photoplay has been shown, indicate that , it will prove one of the most thoroughly acceptable over presented in Salt Luke. I TTTHILL3 galore are embodied in "The Path of Peril," bv which chapter 111 of "The Diamond From tho Sky ' is known. "The i'ath of Peril" indeed is a title aptlv chosen, for, in the story there arc three courses being taken bv the principals princi-pals courses which are perilous to an extreme, though differing widely in form. Esther and Qimbbu ("Lottie Pickford and William J. Tedu.arsh), are fleeing from t he jdo tiers, Blair (William Kus-sell) Kus-sell) and Luke (George I'eriolat), They have borrower! n small mine motor and are whisked into the bowels of the earth. Their motor stops disordered the pursuers, pur-suers, Blair nnd Luke, nre upon them, when Cuabba sets off a mine blast that had been prepared. The explosion scene is one of wonder. There is a sheet of flame, smoke fills the cavernous cavern-ous depths, and by a miracle the small motor resumes its flight. Luke and Blair are apparently killed bv the force of the blast, the falling timber and; stone. Later in the chapter it Is re-: vealed that the unscrupulous pair es- , caped. j In Santa Barbara bay John Powell, as ! Arthur now is known, goes for a trial, spin on his yacht. The craft collides t with Vivian 'b' sailboat and Arthur dives headlonff into the foaming waters to rescue the struggling girl, whom he drags to safety at the risk of hie own life. Miss Burton, who plays the role of the adventuress, Vivian, gives grnph-ie grnph-ie proof of her intense dramatic ability in ensuing' scenes in chapter 16. She has set her cap to ensnare Arthur, from whom she hopes to obtain the gleaming jewel, "The Diamond From the Skv. ' Arthur is completely won by the languorous lan-guorous eves of this bewitching maiden. Her conquest is apparently complete. Arthur is swiftly launched on his path of peril. In New York another plotter enters the field of seekers for "The Diamond From the Skv." who is Frank Dnrand, a master crook and jewel thief, known as "The King of Diamonds." Ho lays his plans una hopes to enlist the aid of none other than Vivian in the quest for the gem. AS "Red Carson," the dead soul, George Routh rises to tremendous tremen-dous dramatic heights in the Lubin three-reel drama of compelling com-pelling power which is to be the feature fea-ture in the American theater 's programme pro-gramme for today only. In "The Dead Soul, ' ' Mr. liouth has as associated stars L. C. Shumway, Melvin Mayo, Ric-cardo Ric-cardo Espino, Julian Laiuothe, Eleanor Blevins. This unusual drama rushes along with the interest of the spectator j never relaxing. Through all the story the purpose of a minister to resurrect ja man's dead soul is unflinching and determined. A powerful climax marks the close of "The Dead Soul." On the same programme today the American offers some especially interesting inter-esting world and war news pictures, filmed by Hearst-Selig, and a clever new comedy. "Mr. Bixbie's Dilemma." As usual there will be music by the famed American concert orchest ra under un-der direction of Professor J. J. McClel-lan. McClel-lan. For tomorrow only the American presents pre-sents the sixth episode of the thrilling romance of Elaine, ' The Wireless Detective," De-tective," featuring Pearl White and Lionel Barrymore. In this Elaine has ! some thrilling adventures. On Mon-! Mon-! dav 's programme also the American presents "The Red Stephano." a grip-1 grip-1 rung two act Vitagraph drama, and the funny Bathe comedy depicting the mirth provoking antics of lleinie and Lo'iie. Tuesday and Wednesday the American Ameri-can presents a splendid five-act Paramount Para-mount production, Solid," in which beautiful and talented Pauline Frederick, Freder-ick, who starred for months in New York in "Within the Law." takes the leading role. This powerful drama is decidedly worth while, and in addition to beSng tense and gripping, it contains much beautiful photography and is moon red with exceeding artistry. Colonel Col-onel Heeza Liar appears on the same programme Tuesday and Wednesday. ALMOST every person who has lived in Salt Lake any length of time will remember William J. Kelly, who headed one of thp most popular stock companies ever appearing ap-pearing in this city. Nlr. Kelly's popularity pop-ularity was wonderful and' he filled one engagement here six months in length. In fact, he came to be. regarded ns a Salt I.oke actor. For four days, begin-ing begin-ing t his afternoon, Salt Lake admirers of this great actor will have nn opportunity oppor-tunity to see him at the Hex theater, where he takes a role of great prominence promi-nence with Betty Nanscn.
