Idol Paviifl and is an id frt li amn. thing quite out of the ordinary both as to story and situations. Maggie Hobson, clerk and manager of her father's fa-ther's shoe shop and. household, has two marriageable sisters and a very self-assertive, self-assertive, domineering father. Tired of being "ordered about" under the parental roof, she starts a domestic rebellion. re-bellion. Being a typical leap-year heroine, hero-ine, she propoyes to one of her father's shoe hands, Willie Mossop by name. Alsgstio discovers in Willie a cobbling genius and sees in him a future. Willie, on t ho other hand, does not want to many Maggie. He is engaged to an-other an-other girl, but Maggio fixes that by tearing him from his fiancee 's arms, taking him to church to be wed and then .netting him up in business in opposition op-position to her tyrannical father, leaving leav-ing the latter to his own incompetence. Maggie's leap-year stratagems in win-lung win-lung a hushand for herself, then hunting hunt-ing for husbands in the upper classes i or fu-r sisters provide continual hilarious hilari-ous surprises. Miss Koach will be seen as Maggie. She is tin KnglUh actress who has won warm praise both in this country and abroad, mid theatergoers, it is said, may look forward to an evening even-ing of apt and telling c haracterization.

THERE is a budget of fun in every act at the Pantages theater this week, and the whole show is teeming with real, live mirt.h. Prom tho time the Three Bartos, America's foremost athletes, present their agile performances till the curtain cur-tain falls on the versatile Charles and Henry Rigoletto, the programme is up to the top notch. The sensational twin brothers, Charles and Henrv Rigoletto. are artists of renown. re-nown. They thread needles by the dozen somewhere back of their teeth, and after numerous other feats of legerdemain leger-demain and juggling skill finish their act in classic poses, after discovering themselves to their audiences as trained athletes and physical exponents. This clever pair of nntets were born in Paris of theatrical people, and from the time they could toddle alone were thrust upon the stage. Their father was a Russian and their mother an Italian, and for many years they toured around as a family troupe. ' We have been twenty-one years perfecting per-fecting the routine of tricks which we are now able to present in our act, ' ' said Henry Kigoletto, who usually acts as business manager for the brothers. "No, we are not old men by any means, for we. started when we were mere children. chil-dren. Our amibtion to become Jam our. in t he vaudeville world has only been realized after years of strenuous efforts to learn. " TV, at gag about beating you blindfolded blind-folded is an old story around a pool table, and yet here comes along a fellow fel-low who can do it. He's called the Croat Lester in vaudeville, but he doesn 't perform half his feats on the stage of the Pantages this week. Lester Les-ter could really put on almost a whole vaudeville show. He is a magician and! a wizard at card manipulations. He eats fire, does knife and sword swallowing stunts and other circus acts. He can tell funny stories. He likes to make chalk talks and is adept with the pencil pen-cil or .brush. Even hvpnotism is not beyond him. Lester 's delight is the billiard bil-liard table. He would rather plav pocket billiards than eat. And this weett most of his leisure is spent in billiard parlors. par-lors. Lester is by long odds the greatest ventriloquist in the world today. He uses a "dude" dummy, and the things that Lester puts into the dummy -s mouth are too funny for any thing. Hia' j act at the Pantages theater this week! j scores a share in jhe headline honors. J I They sav that over in Europe t he i ; shortage of men after this war will j niuh-tJ l uiixieuii to marry oir tne wo-I wo-I men. But the men over there will have no greater difficulty than does Ned Nestor Nes-tor with his eight sweethearts. You see, Ned is a very handsome fellow. To be sure, the boy is clever, extremely so. He singSj dauees, tells exquisitely funny jokes, is au immaculate dresser, and how he. does make love. No one : can vouch better for that than cau the girls. They know. But even Ned cannot can-not take care of eight of them, so this week he decided to relieve himself of some of his troubles by taking a partner part-ner in misery with himself. Ned, being be-ing of the slender kind, chose a partner part-ner who could appeal to those of the girls who have a leaning toward the corpulent cor-pulent variety of masculinity. Charlie Moore weighs in the neighborhood of a quarter-ton. However, since Charlie came to tho act peace reigns eternal in the dressing rooms, and the act is better bet-ter now than it has ever been. The fluffy, breezy bits of femininity sing, dance and make mirth with a swing and twist to the whole act that keep their audience in a continual round ot laughter. laugh-ter. Crawford and Broderick, in "Just a Little oJ This and a Little o' That," are original coined v artists, and their dancing, danc-ing, patter and singing keep their act moving in lively shape. The Three Bartos present a startling exhibition of strength tests, physical cub ture feats and extraordinary hand-to-hand balancing. All three are of the type that is particularly pleasing to the eye, their figures being per foe, tly proportioned pro-portioned and 'their almost every' move being an example of grace and muscular agility. The fourth episode of "The Lass of the Lumberlands ' ' reaches new sensations, sensa-tions, and the plot of this fascinating production grows more intricate. This show will run until Tuesday night at the Pantages theater. Beginning Begin-ning with next Wednesday 's matinee, a big all-star show will open at that bouse. The headliner will be Herbert Lloyd. c'The King of Diamonds," presenting pre-senting his company in ' ' Peaches in Pawn, ' ' a burlesque on a vaudeville show Other numbers will be Lina Reg-! giani and Vogliotti, late of the Mas- 1 oagni Opera company; Chiuko, the jug-1 gler from London; "Ward and Faye, in!

Lumber-lands. ' ' WHEN, two seasons ago, "The Bride Shop" toured the Or-' phcum circuit, it was the consensus con-sensus of opinion that the Or-pheum Or-pheum management had never secured a more likeable musical comedy for the entertainment of its patrons. There was a plentitude of beautiful girls and wonderful costumes. The staging was excellent, the dancing always graceful. The comedy was good and well handled by the comedians. Principal Prin-cipal among them, and featured throughout the musical comedy was Andrew Tombes, who, in spite of the. handicap of a funeral -sounding name, kept audiences locking with laughter I all the tune he was on the stage. I The news will be welcome, therefore, there-fore, to those who saw the act before, that it has again been secured for an Orpheum tour, and will be seen here beginning Wednesday of next week. Mr. Tombes will continue in the leading lead-ing role. The Orpheum patrons' who failed to see the act two years ago should be sure to seo it; those who saw it before will be sure to see it again. ! For tho new Orpheum tour "The Bride Shop" has received the attention atten-tion of the producers, Messrs. Kolfe and Maddock, who know how quickly fashions change. As the display of luxurious attire by the irls is one of the notable features of this musical comedy they have searched the most progressive shops of New York and Pans for the apparel to be exhibited this season, and when "The Bride Shop" plays the Orphoum these gow-us will be exhibited for the very first time. Furthermore, the producers have arranged to replace the costumes several times during the season just how many they cannot say, but whenever a uew or striking and suitable piece of apparel comes into being it will be immediately shipped to the company en route. Among vaudeville experts, "The Bride Shop" is recognized as the very best act of its kind in the two-a-dav. It reaches the apex of this class of work, and the best proof of its success suc-cess is the number of other acts, playing play-ing in minor vaudeville, that have oo-vionslv. oo-vionslv. thoueh unsuccessful! v.! hpn patterned after it. Maude" Lambert, the charming musical musi-cal comedy favorite, and Ernest E. Ball, the composer and writer of popular melodies and ballads, will be the other two headliners of the bill. Mr. Ball will be especially remembered as the author of "Mother Maebree ' ' and "When the Sands of the Desert Grow Cold." On the bill also will be seen Johnnv Cantwell and Reta Walker in their clever skit, "Get the Fly Stuff"; the three Kitaro Brothers illustrate the superlative degree of Japanese dexterity; dexter-ity; Olivetti, Moffett and Clare are scheduled for a series of novel songs and dances, and Beeman and Anderson, the two speed boys, have an exhibition of roller skating that is the supreme performance of its kind on the circuit. The Pathe News, the "alwavs first" animated current events, will ' conclude the bill. T J HO was it said that the romance toc,a-v is to k found in the y f business world? George M. Cohan has gone one better-he better-he has proved yiat the best field for farce is that same hustling American business world. Having already proved it in his "Get-Rich-Quick Walling-ford," Walling-ford," he has produced another farce, called "It Pays to Advertise," which comes to the Salt Lake theater December Decem-ber 19 and 20, with the reputation of being another " Wallingford. " While the piece is accredited to Roi Cooper Megrue and Walter Hackett, there is said to be apparent throughout its action the skilful and individual touch of Mr. Cohan. The farce is said to have all the dexterity dex-terity of a game and to keep the audience au-dience guessing, and, even when the fun is at its lastest, the fundamental common sense back of it all helps to give the. necessary touch. It all begins with the plot of a wealthy soap manufacturer manu-facturer to get his easy-going son interested in-terested in business. His stenographer enters into the conspiracy, and the two find their plot works onlv too well. On money obtained from father himself, the boy embarks as a rival soap manufacturer manu-facturer and gives the old man a run j for the money. It is see-saw between them, and the nps and downs make one of the breeziest farces of the season. A1 S the Serge de Diaghileff Ballet Russe appears in Salt Lake City for two - nights and one matinee, December 22 and 23, art enthusiasts in this city will have an opportunity of seeing all of the twelve ballots in the repertoire. There are a round dozen ballets and each performance perform-ance is limited to three or four. Ordinarily, Ordi-narily, two longer pieces mimo-dramas and two shorter ones choreographic episodes are combined for a programme. pro-gramme. Interest will naturally center on the ballets of a sensational nature which have helped to establish a reputation for the Diaghileff organization as unique in its line. Of these undoubtedly undoubt-edly ' ' Scheherazade, ' ' the tremendous oriental melodrama, heads the list. For sheer barbaric splendor and magnificence magnifi-cence the costumes and deeores for this ballet have never been equaled, and it is considered the masterpiece of Leon Bakst, the great painter. The storv relates in vivid pantomime what happens hap-pens when the Schah Zeinan quits his harem. The inmates immediately demand de-mand the release of the Nubian slaves, and bit as the eunuchs acceded to this unuxorious request the schah returns. The action ends rather unhappily for the amorous wives. Running "Scheherazade" a close second sec-ond in the list of sensations is the famous fa-mous " L 'Apres Midi d 'un Fa one, T ' which, although it was given a few performances per-formances last year, has never been seen with Waslav Xijinsky in the leading lead-ing role. It was the great premier himself him-self who conceived this dance to Deli De-li a-ssy 's wild music. a::d he was in-ccnt.'d in-ccnt.'d la-t year when it was produced here without his permission. Accord ing to him, his interpretation of the ! part is spiritual aud mental, and, necessarily, nec-essarily, since he conceived the dance, no one else can portray the part as he would. This dance was a sensation in Paris and other European capitals, and .its presentation in New York last vear , was signalized bv the drastic attention ; of the police. Of the episode there is prai-twallv no storv. It is rather au animated decoration, with the Faun as the principal figure. The unearthly, haunting strains uf Debussv guide the action of the creature, whois lifted for a brief space out of the nebulous somnolence ot brutish existence bv the bright apparition of a com pari v ot nymphs. "L 'Apres Midi d 'un Paune" will almost certainly be included in one of the programmes. Third on the roll call of sensations is "Cleopatre, " arranged from one of Gautier's exotic talcs. An amorous Egyptian youth has seen the queen of the sapphire Nile, has 'defied her courtiers, cour-tiers, renounced his lover and offered his life for a sign of roval favor. The queen is amazed by his" devotion and. while her girls dance bacchanales with : black servitors and strew sweet-scented rose leaves on her gilded couch, she grants his request. But his triumph is short, for presently lie succumbs to somo rare poison, doubtless administered in a thoughtless moment bv her careless care-less majesty. Flore Revalles was a positive sensation as Cleopatre last year, and hers is the honor of wearing the most sensational costume in the entire wardrobe of the. company. It consists of about 200 yards of veiling, unwound about her form by two negro flunkies, who do the unwinding much as children chil-dren circling a Maypole. A short ballet which found favor in New York last vear was ' ' Le Spectre de la Rose," a delightful fant asie founded on another "of Gautier's poems. It is a pas do deux to Weber's "Invitation to the Waltz." The dream of the beautiful girl who falls asleep after her return from the ball with a full-blown rose in her hand has been charmingly related bv Gautier, and should have been translated by our own Eugene Field. The delicate' flower flow-er is a symbol of her romance, and as she dreams, clasping it to her breast, it comes to life in the shape of a wou-drous wou-drous phantom, with whom she dances. Alas! her happiness is too great. She awakens to find only a few fragrant petals at her feet, where an instant before be-fore her lover had been kneeling. Ni-jinsky Ni-jinsky selected this fragile bit for his debut in New York last year, aud he was applauded eighteen minutes for his efforts. At the close of the dance, just across the stage and leaps through an open window out into Bakst 's wonderful wonder-ful night in one splendid soaring arch. The leap is prodigious and the audience was aghast. This feat, following his superlative grace, flawless technique and poetic feeling, earned for him an ovation which wri's, repeated everv time he danced the blithe pas de deux this year. Considerable interest will also attach to the threo new ballets in the repertoire reper-toire which have never been seen before in this country. One of them, "Mephis-to "Mephis-to Waltz," was composed by Nijinsky while he was a prisoner of war in Austria Aus-tria two years ago, and was produced for the first time on any stage in New York October 23. It is not at all un- (Continued on Following Page.) AT THE THEATERS (Conunued from Preceding Paga.) likely that this danco will be included in tlie repertoire, as Nijinsky will naturally natu-rally favor numbers which' he himself conceived. ''Mephisto Waltz" is taken from the scene of Faust and Me phis to at the inn, get to the music of Liszt's well-known composition. M-jinsky M-jinsky will he seen as Faust. The other two dances, ' 'Le Pieu Bleu" and "Sadko," although familiar abroad, have never been seen in this country. Adolf Bolm, second dancer to 2V ij in sky and considered hy ma.ny his equal in technique, although admittedly lacking in his imagination aud versatility, versa-tility, is the principal in both of these legend dramas. ' ' Le Dieu Bleu " is a Hindoo tale of a maiden who begs her lover, about to be invested as a priest, to renounce his vows. She begs as only an Indian maiden can, an1 the elders hecome enraged at her methods, hurling hurl-ing her into a dungeon. Here she prays to tbe blue god of love, who restores her to her lover's arms. It is odd that the Hindoo conception of happiness happi-ness should select blue from the spectrum spec-trum as the most appropriate color, when we are accustomed to refer to the "blues" as the concomitant of gloom, but it will be remembered that Maeter- linck chose "The Blue Bird" to represent repre-sent happiness in his play of that name. "Sadko is from the ' Rimsky-Korsa-liov opera of that name, set in the abode of the river god. Monstrous marine ma-rine creatures and strange nymphs of tbe sea populate this piece in profusion, admitting of bizarre costumes such as only the Russian mind could conceive. Other ballets included in the repertoire reper-toire are "Narcisse, " "Thamar, " "Les Sylphides," "Prince Igor Dances," "Carnaval" and "La Prin-cesse Prin-cesse Enehantee. ' ' It is through the enterprise of the directors of the Metropolitan Opera company of New York that Salt Lake is to see this great spectacle, whose magic ensemble delighted the courts of Ku-rope Ku-rope for six years. As the annual continental con-tinental tour of the Diaghileff organisation organ-isation was impossible on account of the war, the directors took the oppor-; oppor-; tunity of introducing the American pub: lie to a new art. THE management of the Paramount-Empress promises that the coming week will be the biggest from a motion picture standpoint since the bouse opened. For the next three days, starting this afternoon, Oliver I Morosco presents Lenore Ulrich in a ! remarkable picture of life in Algeria entitled "The Road to Love;" Wednesday Wed-nesday sees David Belasco's production of Mary Pick ford in "The Good Little Devil" and starting Thursday and running run-ning for the balance of the week Dickens Dick-ens s immortal characters will be reim-mortalized reim-mortalized in the motion picture adaptation adapta-tion of "Oliver Twist," with beautiful Marie Doro in the title role, Marshall Tully as Fagin, Hobart Bosworth as Bui Sikes; Raymond Hatton, the Artful Dodger; H. L. Ratten berry as Bumble, and James Ncill as Mr. Brownlow, undoubtedly un-doubtedly one of the greatest of all-star all-star casts seen on the screen to date. Staged on the desert and permeated ! with all phases of the interesting lives of the Algerian Arabs, the new Mo- rosco-Paramount photoplay wiich comes to the Paramount-Empress today has a unique , and unexpected feature,, the spectacle of a desert encampment in the grip of a terrific sandstorm. A land in which slavery is an actual present-day institution and where a handsome voung American might have stayed a life-long captive, but for a native 's friendship, is the setting of this new Morosco photoplay "The Road to Love." The strange and startling world lying hack of the Algerian coast cities is filmed in this fascinating screen storv that stars beautiful Lenore Ulrich. The adventurous love affair of the handsome young American and the Algerian Al-gerian bcantv forms the subject, of this strong, thrilling production, which opens for a three-day run today. Accompanying today's feature are Burton Holmes on the Nile and the World 's- News in Motion Views. With Mary Pickford in ' The Good Little Devil ' ' on Wednesday comes one of those hilarious Block Diamond Comedies, this time. "His Ivory Dome," while starting start-ing Thursday with Marie Doro in "Oliver "Oli-ver Twist" are featured Paramount Fietographs and a Bray Animated Cartoon. TO those millions of 'girls who just won 't give up their dreams of great movie careers, Miss Pearl White, the American Joan of Arc in Pathe's new military'-mystery serial, , "Pearl of the Army," which is to be shown at the Orpheum today, Monday and Tuesday, has a few words of unusual unu-sual advice, simple and direct. "I am not particularly keen on giving giv-ing advice, but that's why I tell tho girls who write me Mearu to be strong.' There are a few rules that have adopted myself that may be of some help to any of the foolish young persons per-sons aspiring to serial stardom, and here they are: " Learn to breathe deeply. T practise prac-tise it in the open air, winter and summer, spring and fall, and usuallv 9 in the unspoiled backwoods if I can get to them. If I didn't, I don't know how I would get out of some of the burning traps in which Pathe's unscrupulous un-scrupulous bad men are contnually leaving me bound and almost helpless. I havo learned to hold my breath with smoke and fire all about me. It's a bandy little trick to know. "Next, do lots of walking. -Moving picture work is not all joy riding, and if you haven't got a good pair of sturdy legs you Ml be carried out on a stretcher. If there's one thing Mr. . Edward Jose, who is directing Pearl of the Army' doesn't like, it's 'delicate' 'deli-cate' people. His idea of delicacy is probably your idea of strength, but you can't argue with a director. ''Third, learn a few of the tricks that made John L. Sullivan as well known as the king of England. don 't mean you need become a prizefighter, prize-fighter, but accidents will happen. When your partner in adventure, a big. husky, he-male, lets a right arm go to put. you to sleep, as per scene ' l'-M of some dyspeptic scenario writer's! nightmare, if you can catch it on yourj forearm instead of vour eve, it would help a little, wouldn't it? Also, it's nnt a bad idea to learn how to do a fall safely, even if not gracefullw I'm not a Gotch or a Roller, but J know a tiny little bit about, wrestling. "Fourth, try to eliminate fear. If you must cot hurt, dreading it won 't avoid it. Timidity a polite name for lack of courage is u udoubtodly one of the greatest handicaps of the aver- age girl. ' ' T could c:i rry this on down to teothly and further, like the old New England preachers, but this is enough i or one time. The point is, learn to be self - reliant and t here is no self-re! self-re! in nee without, strength. "And. oh. of course, there such a thing as the art of acting. But that delves a chapter for itself. ' ' The second feature of the Orpheum photoplay hill will be Baby Marie Osborne Os-borne in " Shadows and Sunsh ine, ' ' a photofantasy of tears and laughter. Baby Marie is one. of the most gifted of all child actresses, and she has grown to be beloved by all movie fans. Her new play is an exceedingly admirable vehicle for her peculiarly adapted screen ability, aud will prove to be a delight to old and young. Then there will be tho regular editiun of the Pathe News, and another of the screaming Luke comedies, this one entitled "Luke's Movie Muddle." The shows will begin daily at 1, 3. 5, 7 and 9 o 'clock, with an orchestra accompaniment accompani-ment this afternoon aud Monday ami Tuesday evenings. THE organ recitals by Professor McClellan at the American theater the-ater have been received with an appreciation on the part of American patrons that is encouraging to the efforts of Mr. Swanson to give the public, such an unusual relish with the regular picture, programme. The picture offering today consists of a Triangle feature, "The Criminal,"' featuring Clara Williams. Miss Williams Wil-liams is particularly adapted-to Italian characterizations such as are required in the story of this offering, and in this part she is credited with having acquitted ac-quitted herself in a splendid manner. They Keystone comedy with the programme pro-gramme is a return engagement of "The Other Man," Roscoe (Patty) Ar-buckle Ar-buckle being the other gentleman. The International News also is on the programme. pro-gramme. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Thurs-day will be presented '"the Prince of Graustark, ' ' a sequel to George Barr MeCutcheon 's famous ' ' Graustark, ' ' filmed by Essanay some time ago. A matter of local interest in this production produc-tion lies in the leading lady, who is Marguerite Clayton-, formerly a Salt Lake girl. This production has been lavishly made and in the handling of the story the audience is as much in the dark as the prince until the final scene. Franz Rath plays in a spotlight and tho musical interpretation of the pictures pic-tures as given by the orchestra, under Mr. Pou 1 ton's leadership, gives an added add-ed quality to the entertainments. HAROLD LOCKWOOD and May .Allison, one of the most popular combinations in the silent drama, will be seen at the Broadway, Sunday only, in "The River of Romance," Ro-mance," a five-part Metro wonderplay, produced by the Yorke Film corporation. corpora-tion.
