Mrs. Patrick Campbell Conclude. Her Engagement In salt Lake City. LR8, CAMPBELL concluded her en-gagement en-gagement in Salt Lake yesterday with two performances of Pinero's "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray." It Is one of the best of the harm wing problem plavs of a generation ago, but it affords Mrs. Campbell an opportunity to display the grace and dramatic intensity which have won for her auch a high place among English actresse. The play Is gloomy, yet fascinating. From the beginning there la the sense of Impending sorrow and final doom, and the playwright's effort ef-fort to relieve the gloom by a few glints of comedy here and there fails to modify to any great degree the atmosphere of woe. The dialogue, however, Is In Pinero's best style clear, terse, dynamic, gripping. grip-ping. William Morris, Who Comes to Orpheum Next Week, Is Talented and Versatile Veteran of Stage.
