(f a t-how this coming Elks' minHtrel IfuyinoHs in going to bnt anyhow," of fi- cors of tho B. 1'. O. K referred thn in- j t.ftrvifiwer to a tnll, gaunt, almost bald- headed person, who ntood quietly by. ; telling a lot of pretty girls the right ay to tho rehearsal room. I So the reporter walked over to the j tall chap and repeated the question. j Idreetor Ciencral James A. A. Stanley, Stan-ley, the aforesaid tall chop, unburdened hiH mind th um : Seriously Hpeaking, our nhow is going to be the biggest and best amateur theatrical ever held in bait Lake. Take our fi rat part, for instance. Although it i.s to be a real minstrel first part, old stuff will be noticeable notice-able for its lack. Instead of the end men and girls merely flinging and telling jokes there will be dancing. danc-ing. Wo have a collection of dancing danc-ing ends twelve of them and every ev-ery ono a dancer, Guy Milner will he on the job in t lie enow, with one of his specialty spe-cialty acta that made him famous from New York to San Francisco, from New Orleans to tho Twin cities, when he was on the circuits, Mich an Die Orpheum and Pantages. Mr. Milner, whose net is plainly labeled la-beled as humbug by Guy himself, has quit tho stage, and settled down i n Salt Lake. 1 fo has agreed to take part in the four performances in order to make the charity show a howling success. Attention is called to the Milner act just to indicate tho general high character of the show. There will lie many 'professionals and many amateurs, who, so far as general excellence ex-cellence is concerned, might he rl.'i.ssed as professionals. Among these latter are character dances by Virginia T?ieben and Lotta Petty, ' ' KoUhdJ Kiddies, ' ' and a .lapanese dance by Dorothy Lynn. All three of these dancers are mere children who give assurance that they will be well worth seeing. Two other features worthy of spe-rial spe-rial mention are the Evan's trio Misses Grace, Margaret and Claire Lvnns in sparkling song numbers, and Miss Duly Christ Qjisen in a classic dancing number. The latter 's work in artistic interpretation in-terpretation of the classic dances is alrendy well known to Salt Lakers. Lak-ers. She has had several flattering flatter-ing offers to go on the road, but lias rejected them, owing to the disapproval dis-approval of her parents. But the ' ' Dance of t ho Kose ' y and other beauty numbers, as given by this beautiful young Halt Lake girl, surpass sur-pass nine-tenths of the dances which come over the big vaudeville circuits, cir-cuits, j And don't forget the dates, Feli-niarv Feli-niarv 8. f) and 10 Thursday, Fri- : day and Saturday, with a matinee for th poor kiddies of the city on 1 Saturday. All being at the Salt Lake theater. With the unusually fine list of local talent in the show,' there are a nura-hrr nura-hrr of acts promised from among the big acts that make Salt Lake City on the circuit of the local theaters playing vaudeville. One of especial mention is a big musical comedy act and a large chorus, of pretty girls that sing and dance. |
