IRVING BERLIN S international syncopated syn-copated musical success, in three acts and seven scenes, entitled, "Watch Your Step," will come to the Salt Lake theater on Friday and Saturday next for a limited engagement engage-ment of three performances. Mr. Berlin is a king ol' syncopated melody and the most successful of the latter-day producers of things musical. He has piven the public some of the most nroliric song hits the modern stage V has known. He formed an idea that a musical show written in wholly syncopated synco-pated time would catch the popular fancy. He seized upon the idea with enthusiasm, and, in conjunction with Harry B. Smith, who wrote the book, turned out "Watch Your Stop.'' It was the first time a ragtime opera had been produced. That ii was a genuine gen-uine success is proven by the fact that it played New York for six months, Chicago Chi-cago three months. Philadelphia three months and Boston three months, and is still going. It is a lively collection of merriment, song and difficult dancing. The particular ensemble entitled, "Old Operas in a New Way," is characteristic char-acteristic of the whole play. This scene discloses the stage of the Metropolitan Metro-politan opera house. New York. The patronsyin the boxes arc attending to; everything except the performance. Even their knitting is not overlooked. One of them is being manicured, another telephoning from an instrument placed in the box, while others are drinking champagne. Grand opera bores them. Then the singers render selections from various operas in ragtime, in which the audience joins. Then there appears in the upper box ' ..y. - 7 .

GOMIXG as one of the most important im-portant announcements of the early theatrical season in Palt Lake is the news that the Wilkes players, headed by Ralph Cloninger and Miss Xana Bryant, will appear throughout through-out the coming week at the 'Wilkes in one of the most thrilling plays of American Ameri-can military life ever written, "The Commanding Officer." With the thunder of the great world war reverbi ating to every corner of the earth, it is but natural that a great deal of interest should center around the production of the play of American military post life, by Theodore Burt Sayre. It is a story of such intense and human interest that throughout its four acts there is not a lagging " moment. The scenes and action of the play are laid in the house of Colonel Bichard Archer of the Seventh I'. 8. cavalry, commanding Fort. Butler in IPOS'. The storv begins with a mild, flirtation on : thet part of Colonel Archer's handsome voting wife and Brent Lindsay, owner of the Algonquin mine. The heart interest in-terest develops with great rapidity, and a number of striking and sensaiional ! climaxes are introduced early in thV action. ac-tion. The atmosphere of army posts, the dashing voung cavalry officers, combined com-bined witii 'all the realism of life in ' the open in Nevada years ago. makes "The Commanding Officer" a play of ! unusual interest and merit. The charoc-j charoc-j tors include, besides Colonel Archer, his I wife, Ifaior Bingham, Lieutenants 11am-I 11am-I moud, Warring and Billings, Doctor O'Connell, Brent Lindsav, owner of the I Algonquin mine; Sheriff Baker, Hoyd I Carrol, governess in Colonel Archer's I familv: Mrs. Bingham, sister-in-law of Major Bingham; Gwendolyn Bingham, j the major's niece, and Mary, the maid in the Archer household. -I Stage Director Blyden emphasizes the ! fact that "The Commanding Officer" I it not a war play, hut instead is a story I of life at a typical American military ' post, before the declaration of the world J war. Much special scenery has been ar-I ar-I ranged for "The Commanding Officer." : and the production opens at the Wilkes i tonight, to run through the ensuing (week, with matinees on Thursday and Saturday DECIDEDLY differeut and unusually unusu-ally entertaining is this week 's programme of vaudeville at the i Pautagcs theater, where a musi- i cal comedy travesty, "Miss Hamlet, "i is the headline attraction. This number is one of the few musical i comedies that have an entertaining plot, and is based on Shakespeare's immortal I play, "Hamlet." Miss Pauline Barri, i a well-known motion picture star, is seen in the title role, while a number of well-costumed and pre! iy singing and dancing girls add life and ginger to the play. Some new and lively songs are rendered by Miss Barri and the beauty chorus. The comic situations arise with startling rapidity. The celebrated dramatic actress, Miss Leila Shaw, appears on this week's bill in her original sketch. "A Truthful Liar." The plot of the sketch is tense and swift, dealing with the manner in which a lawyer and his actress wife obtain ob-tain a pardon for a convict sentenced to die on the gallows. Miss Shaw is ably assisted by Harry Manners and Jay Collins, Col-lins, both dramatists of national repute. re-pute. Sam Howard? Jules Kibe! and Sid Herbert are fun-makers in every sense of the word, while at the same time they are all possessed of excellent voices. They render a number of the lntpst nnnnlnr snnp"!. mid some, brand- I new comedy is thrown in for good measure. mea-sure. The Three Lyars have an unusually entertaining number in their ''Bits ot Vaudeville. ' ' These men are accomplished accom-plished musicians, and they render both classical and popular airs on xylophones, cornets, French horns and many other instruments.

At an age when most male performers are beginning to look forward to the time when they will be considered of sufficient importa-ucc as artists to play tho Orpheum 'circuit, 'cir-cuit, Lew Brice has to throw his mind back considerably to remember how many times he has played' it. Originally, he 'was a member of Gus Edwards 's School Boys and Girls. Then he took one of the school girls and the team of Lew Brice and Lillian Gomie was formed. More recently he played the Orpheum theaters with Muriel Mu-riel Worth, until the illness of the latter lat-ter forced an abandonment of the tour. Later he. appeared as a single entertainer, enter-tainer, then with Helene Coyne, and now comes bis present partnership. Notwithstanding his vaudeville appearances, ap-pearances, Mr. Brice has also found time to participate in several Winter Garden shoe's, notablv ' ' The Passing Shows of 1913, 1014 'and 1915," and "Maid in America," and. about twelve months ago, in support of Fields in "Step This Way. ' He has been on the stage since he was nine years old, when he started as an amateur with his fister, Fannie, now considered one of the funniest women on the stage. It wai some years later, however, before he entered' vaudeville seriouslv, and then it was through Gus Edwards. With the Barr Twins he will be seen in a series of songs and dances which bear the label. "A Little o' This and a Little o' That." Special scenery has beeu selected and the production is elaborate. IT has been a gala week at the Liberty Lib-erty theater, where "The Four Old Veterans" have beeu entertaining big crowds with their patriotic offering, "Tho Spirit of '61."

' BENCH and British artillery on 1 the French front in the great war constitutes one of the most thrilling sights in "Heroic France," special release of the Mutual Film corporation, which will be shown at the Salt Lake theater Monday, Tups- & day and Wednesday, with daily mati- . nees opening at 2 o'clock tomorrow. The pictures eight reels of action were made by Merl LaVor. heroic young American photographer, who traversed the fighting front from the sea to the Swiss border. Mr. LaYov, who did his work under the auspices of the American Relief Clearing House of Paris, followed the -.j course of events from the rear clear up to the gun-muzzles, showing how roads were built, through shelhtorn territory to transport great guns and supplies to points of contact with the enemy bat- d teries. v There are some splendid pictures of cavalry waiting behind the lines for a chance to get. into action, every regi-ment regi-ment equipped to the last strap anV men and horses alike displaying their impatience for marching ordprs.

The Charlie Char-lie Chaplain monoplane is displayed as 1 one of the- fighting machines of the ! west front j The great merit of LaVoy's pictures is that they are all of events taking . place under actual service conditions at the front, with heavy artillery roaring roar-ing and the thousands of little guns barking all about. No more remarkable remark-able collection of pictures illustrating war has ever been presented. OXE of the most remarkable of the theatrical season 's productions, booked for presentation for first time hero at the Strand theater one solid week beginning today, is . '"Vho:s Your Neighbor?" the socio- logical message to humanity written by j Willard Mack and directed by S. Rankin Ran-kin Drew. It is the initial presentation of the Mammoth Film corporation in the west. "Who's Your Neighbor?' relates- a worth-while story, dealing with people and situations that we come into contact con-tact with every day. Tt is a hold outspoken out-spoken arraignment of vicious characters charac-ters of wealth and influence and this i? what commends the play to the average aver-age 'theatergoer. It is not a preachment, preach-ment, not a sermon; like life itself, it teaches by force of example. While there is a strong, swift dramatic dra-matic action, the play has its lighter moments of wholesome scenes of a happy home, and a delightful romance between a beautiful girl and a manly youth. The story opens allegorically, showing an argument between a youth who represents advanced ideas and an old man who represents experience. This introduction conveys to the audience audi-ence the point that the author wishes to emphasize. The acting of the various roles will undoubtedly receive great praise. Never were the artists seen to better advantage. advan-tage. The cast follows: Hat tie Fen-shaw. Fen-shaw. Christine Mayo; Bryant, Harding. Anders Handolf; Dudley Carlton, Frank Morgan; Harold "Unrding. William Sherwood; Sher-wood; Betty Hamlin. Evelyn Brent; her mother, Mabel Wright; Mrs. Bowers, Bow-ers, Gladys Fairbanks; a lawyer, Franklin Frank-lin Hanna. ' Who 's Your Neighbor ? ' ' tells a storv with a "punch'' and keeps well in mind the strong and powerful dramatic dra-matic appeal intended. AT the Paramount-Empress theater, thea-ter, commencing today, Elsie Ferguson, the most beautiful artist ar-tist of the American drama, makes her debut in ''Barbary Sheep,'' for Artcraft pictures. One of the most prominent exponents of the true dramatic dra-matic art, Miss Ferguson brings to the screen a rare personality, and adds greatly to its potency as a high-class amusement. Miss Ferguson's career on the stage started at the bottom. Through characteristic persistency and hard work she has become one of the most pouular at-tresses of the world. ; Her characterizations in such well-; known theatrical hits as ' Shirley I Kays," 'Such a Little Queen' "Out-1 cast," and "Margaret Schiller" won her particular prominence in the hearts of American theatergoers. In "Barbary Sheep," adapted from Robert Hichen's most popular book since ' The Garden of Allah. ' ' Miss Ferguson is given a vehicle that not only is particularly adapted to her capabilities, ca-pabilities, but one that offers her a most lavishly artistic background. Under Un-der the direction of Maurice Tourneur, the well-known French producer, some of the most elaborate sets ever staged for a photoplay are presented in novel display. The romantic, story of Algeria, Al-geria, which tells of the infatuation of an English noblewoman for a dark-skinned dark-skinned army officer, as told on the screen, it is readily felt, will achieve greater popularity than even the book experienced. Among the many interesting features displayed bv this production are the views of life in Algeria, setting forth the mystery, fascination and strange atmosphere of the desert. Charged with the heat, passion and swift action that befit a daring romance of this country, 4 'Barbary Sheep" promises to attract and hold the immediate attention of the audience from beginning to end. Never before has Maurice Tourneur, the famous master-director, had a greater opportunity to display his technique tech-nique and talents in modern screen-craft, screen-craft, and that this offering will instantaneously instan-taneously prove his crowning achieve ment is readily expected. Supporting the "opnlar star in her initial film play is an exceptional cast of players, including includ-ing Pedro do Cordoba, Lumsdcn Hare, Macv Harlem, Alex Shannon and Maude Ford. Adapted from the book bv Charles Maigne, this offering, it is felt, gives Miss Ferguson the greatest vehicle of her entire career. On Wednesday and Thursday Mme. Petrova will be seen in "Exile." followed fol-lowed Fridav and Saturday bv Vivian Martin in "The Sunset Trail.'" 0TE scene in The Tribune edition of the Gaumont-Mutual. "Weekly No. 141, which will evoke un-1 un-1 bounded enthusiasm, shows President Presi-dent "Wilson carrying the Stars and Stripes at the head of the new national rmy on its way to France, via the southern training camps. While there are other pictures in this issue of the Mutual Weekly, which reached the theater September 12, views of war preparations in the Uuited States and. on the actual battle front in France predominate. In Georgia a monster barracks is erected in a working work-ing day of eight hours. In California thr oldest redskin raises the Star Spangled Span-gled Banner over an old mission he helped build, and San Diego turns her famous exposition grounds into a naval ! training station. Not less interesting are the views which the Gaumont cameramen in Europe Eu-rope have furnished for The Tribune edition of the Mutual Weekly. In Moscow Mos-cow Prime Minister Kerensk'y hears the Russian troops vow loyaltv and renewed re-newed offensive against the Germans. King Albert of Belgium is shown with the French in Flanders in actual range of the German guns. Other scenes show that the allies have an abundance of ammunition so that their hammering of the Boche trenches will continue with unabated effort. MU?GERY WILSON, who appeared in "The Mother Instinct" and other Triangle plays, makes her debut as a star in "Mountain Dew." a tale of the Kentucky moiiii-i moiiii-i tains during the moonshiners' reign, , which will be shown at the American theater today and tomorrow. A wild Utile sprite of the hills, she meets a young novelist gathering ma- , ierial for a book. He is charmed by ; her native loveliness and determines to j edufnte her. He manages to get the i position of "boss of The school," and invites the girl to attend. Her father, an old feudist, objects to "larniu' and threatens the teacher, but the latter covers him wi;h a gun and calmlv proceeds pro-ceeds wit h M a r eery "s reading lesson. A bright rianrc witn many humorous situations follows this episode. ( harles Gunn, the most popular of j Triangle leading men, has the role of the t'.'nchnr. .tak Rirhardson, Aaron Ldwardf.

' and tho s t :t r t of The jrreart romantir-j romantir-j serial featuring William Duncan and I arol JkdUnvay in "The Fighting Trail," a story of all out doors. "The Woman Beneath" is one of the moat delightful that has ever been filmed and Miss Clayton's role is lovable and entrancing, in fact, the role of Betty Fairchikl in this picture gives Miss Clayton one of the best opportunities of her career. The story is a modern drama of New York, with the principal character a young society debutante who marries a wealthy western mine owner for his money and who later tells her husband that she does not love him. But she experiences a change of heart under , thrilling circumstances and the play i ends happily for both wife, and husband. hus-band. The production is notable for the surprises it c contains. There is a new surprise every minute in this offering offer-ing and a new delight. Miss Clayton was never more lovable and never more effective than she is in the role of Betty Fairchild in this ; picture. A TREMENDOUS climax is reached at the Mehesy theater today in "The Flaming . Meteor," a ' 1 Gay Ghost ' ' feature, with Eddio Polo and others featured, Pris-eila Pris-eila Dean has a prominent part in this picture, in fact, she and Gypsy Hart, ! who plays the role of her maid, gain ', entire control of the situation and hold 'the "Gay Ghost" at tho point of a gun. Poisonous gases, suclvas are being used in the present war, are shown in this picture, adding greatly to the interest. A tale of the spirit of '76 in 1917 is ' ( A Young Patriot," a Gold Seal military drama in three reels. Mignon Anderson heads a cast which includes some well known Universal names, with Elwood Bredell in the title role. The attempted theft of some valuable formulas, the lowering of a certain man into a well and a terrific explosion explo-sion are incidents of the story. "His Fatal Beauty," a Joker comedy featuring Milburn Moranti and William Wil-liam Franey, completes the programme. Monday's headhner is Harry Carey in "The Wrong Man." Tuesday is all comedy day, with a special Fox film and 1 ' Hearts and Flour," a special L-Ko. THE constant tussle between vaudeville vau-deville and musical shows goes on apace, and there never was a better opportunity for artists who havo really unusua.l acts. The growing number of musical shows of the "revue" tvpe not only calls for skilled vaudevillians who can sing and dance, but also for entire novelty acts. For instance, the companies which are playing "The Corner Store" and "Rubeville" in Orpheum vaudeville have been duplicated and are now being be-ing played in two of New York's leading lead-ing musical shows. Attempts have been made by managers of similar shows to capture Charles Withers and his company com-pany in "For Pity's Sake," but his Ornhenm bookings prevent him from i accepting. tn rugnn manager nas also .made him an offer to go to London Lon-don and incorporate the act in a revue. There is just a possibility that the act will be duplicated in the same manner man-ner as the others, but they want Mr. Withers to play the role of the "opry" house manager. However, the Orpheum came first with Mr. "Withers. ON her recent cross country flight : in an automobile from Los An- ; geles to New York, Anita King, ' the new movie star, met with : many interesting experiences. One of , these was a fine opportunity to break into the wool business. It happened in Arizona up in the pneep country. 1 Toward evening, one fine day, Anita was bowling along in her car wondering wonder-ing where she was going to spend the night and also thinking about a nice hot supper that she didn't hope to find in that section of the woods. As she stopped to view tho gorgeous sunset sun-set from the heights her eyes were gladdened with the sight of a column of smoke ascending from a little valley val-ley not very far below and on looking look-ing closer sue taw t hat it came from the camp of sheep herders. Miss King drove straight to the camp and upon announcing that she was hungry and wanted to camp for the night the entire outfit v. as placed at her disposal. A delicious supper of lamb chops, eggs, biscuits, choose, jelly, friend potatoes and coffee wa s served the young lady in her car and t he men wore ad more than courteous I to her. She was provided with a tent and bed and made as comfortable as range hospitality hos-pitality couid do it and one of the more romantic shepherds even regaled Ikt ! with a. i cw ballads to the accompaniment accompani-ment of a guitar. In th" morning after : breakfa-t tne boss of the outrit ap- ; pmaejied and said: ' "Jf vnu don't care. Mis?, J ' rHe as far a Bud Dog with yon. J 'd i!;p to talk to yon about a bn,ine-s matter.'' Mis? King was gra-donslv willing anil off they started amid Cod speeds from j the outfit. After a few minutes' desultory desul-tory talk the sheepman said: "There's money in sheep, Miss King. ' ' ' Indeed 1 ' ' "Yes. Thought you might like a chance to cut in. ' ' "I'm sorry, but I haven't, any money to invest just now. A little later perhaps per-haps ', Oh, I'm not asking you to invest. Miss. You won't need any money to play the game. " ' ' I don 't think I quite understand. ' ' ! "Oh, it's easy enough. I've got the business and you can have a half interest in-terest if you'll answer yes to a question ques-tion I'm going to ask. But before you answer you can go to the bank at Prescott and verily my financial standing. stand-ing. Will you?" "May I ask what is the question you desire me to answer." "Sure, Miss. Would you like to have 30.000 head of sheep?" "Yes." "Well, if you'll take mo with 'em they 're yours bargain ? ' ' Anita looked at the woolly old buck at her side, threw the car into high and beat it for Bull Dog at ninety-nine miles an hour, arriving there in a cyclone cy-clone of dust. As the shepherd untangled untan-gled his lace curtains from tho front axle and rubbed tire boulders out of his lamps he gasped: 1 Do vou alwavs drive that fast, Miss?"' "Oh, that was just a trial spin to tune up my car for the day's run." " Vell, I'm a fair man and my proposal pro-posal still stands. Miss, but " "Never mind," chortled Anita, "I don't think I'd like, tho sheep business. Good-by. ' ' ALMOST every hopeful author who submits a scenario to a motion picture company places thereon his own estimate of its value and these vary from tho usual $100 per reel to $5000. H. O. Stechhan, who reads all scripts submitted to Balboa studio, declares that, based upon the writers' own estimates, he has read nearly one million dollars' worth of scenarios already this year, and the worst is yet to come, for when the weather gets cool more people write.

NEW YORK GIVES MARJORIE RAM BEAU A GREAT OVATION MAK-JORIE KAMBEAU, who mnde herself a general favorite with Salt Lakers as a member of tho Willard j Mack stock company in this city several years ago, has finally taken cold and : critical New York City by storm. At the Maxine Elliott theater, where she is appearing in "The Eyes flf Youth," Miss Pambeau was given one of the greatest ovations ever accorded an actress in New York, James tf. Metcalfe, dramatic, critic for Life, a publication that is not given to enthusing over stage performances, pa.vs the following tribute to Miss Eambeau: Perhaps no moment in her life will be so well remembered by Mar-iorie Mar-iorie l?ambeau as the one in" "The Eyes of Youth" when the curtain rose with her seated alone in the center of the stage, represented as coming out of a trance whoso visions she had dramatically realized rea-lized in Iho scene before. Her wide-open eyes saw an audience applauding ap-plauding and cheering her work as few efforts on tho New York stage have been applauded and cheered in recent years. If Messrs. Gnernon and Marcin, the authors, had succeeded in bringing bring-ing to tho excellent, groundwork of their plav the same artistry in detail that their star displayed" tho triumph would hnve been a general one. Marjorie Jinmheuu's accomplishment accom-plishment in force, and versatility was made rather in spite of the outliers ou-tliers instead of by their aid. They had a splendid theme, in the history of the ambitious girl who maps her career through being permitted to see herself in three of her future, possibilities by the aid of a gazing crystal. Tn the play she is ingeniously ingeni-ously made the acting heroine of these varied episodes. IT ere wn s opportunity for both dramatipls and artiste. The former did not make by any means the best of whnt was in their hands; Marinria Pa m beau did, and mor. too. Thn result is a new st ir with a ra ngo of powers, and a play which, though not hitrhly finished, is cerlainly interesting. |
