Show "FAIR AND WARMER" FOR THREE NIGHTS Announcement, However, Has Reference to a Parce and Wot to Salt Lake Weather. '"Fair and Warmer7' is the piquant title of Avery Hopwood's latest and finest farce, which ran for one year at the 1 tinge and Harris theaters, New York, and for six mouths at the Cort theater, Chicago, and which Sehvyn & (Jo., having put it on tour in response to universal demand, will present at the Salt Lake theater three nights starting start-ing Thursday, March 1, with Saturday matinee. Mr. llopwood 's farce tells a merry tale of how two highly respectable and more than averagely domesticated persons, per-sons, discovering that their respective errant spouses had taxed their patience i till it ceased to be a virtue, rose in ' their righteous wrath and tried to be i wicked. ! Having little or no experience in wick-. wick-. cdness and being hindered rather than helped by what they knew of it by hearsay, they involved themselves iu terrible calamities, while the former naughty members of their families had the righteous indignation all to themselves. them-selves. The innocents, meanwhile, having even less knowledge of how to get out of trouble than how to get into it, saw their plight increase till it all but obliterated ob-literated them. It is precisely the sort of idea which Avery Hopwood knows best how to put through its paces, getting get-ting its finest farcical flavor, and giving giv-ing it his deftest characterization and satirical comedy. One scene, now famous fa-mous as the Cocktail scene, was described de-scribed by the reviewers as the best in the whole history of farce. "Fair and Warmer" begins in the early evening, stays up all night and concludes bv noon of the following day, having iu that time disrupted and reasserted re-asserted two households, devastated a "tame robin' and brought wisdom Rnd repentance to saints and sinners alike. It has not a moment between its curtains cur-tains when its humor flags or its situations situa-tions slacken.
