Show FAMILIAR PACE AT ORPhEUM EMPRESS THEATER IS OPENED Former Salt Lake Cabaret Singer Is With the Jewel Trio. THERE is a familiar faro in the act which last night's audience at the Orpheum applauded most of all. The Jewel trio Is the name which lias been chosen by t hree young men who sing songs and now and again tell a joke. The familiar face Is that of Harry Reichman, who, a year ago, was one of the most popular of the -a ha ret entertainers In Sail Lake. Reichman has the comedy work of the trio and puts the act over In good shape. The three men have nicely blended voices and a happy selection selec-tion of numbers. "Mrs. Temple's Telegram," with William Wil-liam Morris in the leaning part, is Interesting Inter-esting as an exposition of clever lines thai work out a humorous situation. The plot is that of the jealous wife who appeals ap-peals hy wire to the mythical man, named bv her hushand who does not want to He nor yet tell the truth. The five parts in the sketch are cleverly acted by Mr. Morris and his associates. Yet one other number on the bill Is above the general average. Stewart Jackson and Dorothy Wahl have hitched together some songs with just enough piano playing to make the thing go good. The audience liked them immensely Last night, and the pair should prove a popular popu-lar feature of the bill all week. And speaking of pianos reminds one of the fact that In four of the seven acts on the programme piano solos or duets are given. 9 The Orrjuesta Forreblanca have chosen e dandy opening number ('not programme) a selection from "Carmen." and the playing of the twelve musicians who form the organization warms up still more with the second number, "La Paloma," with Senora de Rivera singing. Her soprano voice is delightful and she was much ap-pla ap-pla uded. However, It remained for the Mexican orchestra to choose an American ragtime selection to close the act and win the audience to applauding for encores. en-cores. "Everybody Rag With Me" seemed to hit everybody's fancy last night, and. as a result, the orchestra followed with t wo more selections. James Teddy, jumper, closes the show, bur a spectacular stunt which is placed before the concluding feature gave the impression to the audience that he was through, and everyone started to leave, only to hesitate in t ho aisle and see him jump over a set of nine chairs placed In a circle. The act is not new by any means. but Is well done, nevertheless. If yon happen to miss the car on the way to the Orpheum this week, don't worry about it. The pictures are the first thing on the bill. If you should, by chance, miss the second car, don't worry, either. Mason. Wilbur and Jordon, in acrohatic pantomime, have the second position. po-sition. The Four Melodious Chaps, who look very nice in white trousers and purple pur-ple coats and vests, play the piano, sing, dance and one member fiddles. The concentration con-centration of the efforts of the young men on any one of the parts of their repertoire would probably be productive of better results.

ORPHEUM There is no doubt but that "Mrs. Temple's Telegram" is one of the very best contemporary comedies. It is also certain that in its condensed form it Is one of vaudeville's funniest sketches. William Morris, who originated the principal prin-cipal role in the farce, will be seen In the same part in the condensed version. PANTAGES A novelty In the way of a dance on snow shoes is presented by the Mozarts at the Pantages this week, and the dance is effectively staged In a Minnesota Min-nesota forest, the effect being enhanced by a cleverly effected bllziard.

THE Empress Stock company struck instantaneous in-stantaneous success last night in a highly artistic presentation of the greatest great-est melodramatic hit of years. "Within the Law," before an audience that taxed the capacity of the theater. Every member mem-ber of the organization acquitted himself with distinction, even to those who shouldered the bits. It Is rather a well-known fact that Salt Iakc playgoers have cultivated a somewhat fastidious taste In the matter of stock companies. And for a very good reason, for, ever since the stock company com-pany was a mere innovation until the present. Salt I-ke has been favored with some of stagedom'B big luminaries. Consequently, the incoming stock company com-pany must expect to present itself to the keenly critical eye of playgoers trained to the niceties of stock production. All of which leads to the main Issue, which Is that the new organization came up to the expectations of the playgoers play-goers present last night. There are. no two ways about it, the company made good. The leading woman. Miss Nana Bryant, pave to the part of Mary Turner a distinctive dis-tinctive Interpretation. She is beautiful, possessing a rare charm of personality. The applause tendered h"r last night was fully merited. Ernest Wilkes, as Joe Carson, gave the artistic performance of the evening. High praise is due this talented tal-ented actor. Clifford Thompson, as Richard Rich-ard Gilder, possesses all tbe verve and dash that insure his popularity as leading lead-ing man. Miss Dora Mae Howe, in the rolo of Agnes Lvnch, was afforded the fomerh- for the evening. Others who deserve de-serve special mention for very finished performances are Guy Hitner, Huron L-Blvden, L-Blvden, Harry Leland. Miss Avis Manner Man-ner Anson T. McNuIty, T. Williams. The storv of Man' Turner, the girl who was sent to prison for three years for a theft she. never perpetrated, and who afterwards became a most successful crook bv always keeping "within the law," is too generally known to need repetition. repe-tition. , . The production fa vorablv compared in all respects with the road production of the same piece In which Margaret Illlng-ton Illlng-ton appeared here last season. The company com-pany is evenly balanced and not one weak spot Is to be found anywhere. City, county and state officials will he gueBts at tonight's performance. Among those who have been invited are Mayor Samuel C. Park, Secretary of State David Mad sen, City Commissioners Shearman and Lawrence.

This in itself is a significant event in Salt lake's theatrical history, but when it is considered that the company promises to be one of the most capable ever seen here, and that the play Is one of the biggest big-gest comedy successes of recent years, the opening tecomes one of the most important im-portant iheatrii-nl events of the season. many pia poers in Salt Lake will undoubtedly un-doubtedly welcome the reopening of the Itali, the home of successful stock productions pro-ductions for so many seasons.
