Wednes-day. Miss Buckley comes with such successes suc-cesses to her credit as leadfng woman for Norman Hackctt in Eugene Waltcrs's pre at drama. "The Knife," together with Vinving played leading roles for Walker Whitcsides, Pustin Farnum, TTolbrook Pdinn. Wright Lorimer and many other famous stars. "The Gypsy Trail" Is woven around the romantic tendency that lives In many hearts the Hire of broad roads, the appeal ap-peal of nights spent under the stars the call of ' "The. Gypsy Trail." A staid yuing business man, who has never folt tho call of romance, is in love with a beautiful young society girl, who is romantic. ro-mantic. A young reporter, debonair and jaunty, and an ardent traveler of "The Gypsy Trail," interviews the wealthy young business man for his paper, and incidentally explains to him his view of lifov Tho business man induces the reporter re-porter to abduct the girl, in order that h romantic elopement may be staged. The amusing action that follows and The manner in which true love triumphs over the lure of "The Gypsy Trail," give a delightful finish to this vivid and romantic ro-mantic play. In tho role of the romantic young girl Misa Buckley is expected to captivate capti-vate her audiences, and J. Anthony Smythe, as the young reporter, will doubtless live up to the reputation he lias already made. George Rand, the new Juvenile leading man, will be seen to excellent advantage, as will Mae Thorne, William Walsh and the other members of the Wilkes Players. nNE of the most famous of all dancing acts, an intensely inter- I eatlug sketch, a quartet of musi- tilans extraordinary, a trio of wonderful shadowiats, a wizard of syncopation, a closer team of comedians ond the most welcomo of all blackface comedians combine to give the Orphaum u holiday vaudeville this week. First come the famed Ford Sisters. Mabel and Dora, in a series of modern dances called "The Ford Revue of 191S." These pretty girls always have something very much out of the usual run of dancing acts to offer, and this season is no exception. "All for Democracy" is an Allegory of the present, with some splendid splen-did acting and characterizations of the great men of history. Al Herman, known the nation over as "The Black Laugh." is an assassin of gloom and one of the funniest and most original comedians who ever set foot upon the stage. Burt Xrie, king of Dan joists, heads a company of four in a jazzy act. all music , and mirth. Rockwell and Fox are a ' clever pair of comedians appearing in a nifty melange of good thins?.

They are assisted by their daughter, Connie Wilde. Friscoe, the wizard of syncopation, plays the i xylophone as only an artist can. These stellar acts and the Pathe News and Orpheum Travel Weekly combine to make an offering that fits in well with the holiday season. The bill headed by the famed Eva Tan-euay Tan-euay gives Its last performances at tho Orpheum this afternoon andcvening. Fddie Fitzpatrick and his orchestra delight de-light with new musical hits. This bill plays through until next Tuesday night.

The manipulation of the dolls and the accompanying dia'ogue is carried on by a number of local girls, all of whom have 1 received their coaching from Miss Von Yolkenburg, until they have becomo letter-perfect. So many requests have come for a repetition of Bernard Shaw's "Candida." which was the opening bill at the Little theater for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Wed-nesday evenings, that it has been decided to repeat the performance Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, December 20, 27 and -S. with the usual matinee Si' turday afternoon. The puppets will run through Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evt-nings, with special matinee Christmas day. WS. HART, with Bessie Love and Louise Glaum, in "The Aryan," is the attraction at the Broadway Sunday and Monday. In addition to this feature, a Mutt and Jeff comedy, entitled en-titled "Around the World," and the latest lat-est Current News Weekly, will be shown. In "The Aryan." W. S. Hart plays the role of Steve Denton. who-rldes into Yellow Ridge with a money-belt bursting burst-ing with hard-earned gold, which gamblers gam-blers manage to fleece from him through the wiles of Trixie, the most voluptuous belle around the roulette table. She deceives him when a telegram comes saying that his mother is dying, and in tiie morning Steve, with every; penny gone, learns the truth, too late. Wild wiLli rage, he shoots up the place and carries Trixie away on hts horse. Embittered, he establishes a town of hate in the hills of the desert, where Trixie. the only woman in the place, is held in atonement for her lie. The man is savage in his hatred of the sex. One day a caravan of prairie schooners is lost in tho desert, and sends a delegation to Denton's town for water and shelter for the women. He turns them down, threatening to wipe them out if they do not move on. In the sourness of his soul, he has forgotten the code of his race, "to shelter, guard and protect its women." A little girl In the party refuses to believe that Denton could forget the standard of her people; so, all alone, she enters the Mexicans' town. Seeing In her another victim like Trixie, Denton makes her wait, while he bids his gang, descend on the caravan. At the last moment, conquered by eyes that trust rather than accuse, he yields to the plea of the fearless little girl and goes to call off his raiders, jilt is too late they have carried off the women. Feeling the call of his race, with a supreme su-preme heroism and effort he undertakes a course of rapid action that provides the biggest thrill of all. HOW a pair of pretty slippers can cause more trouble than a jealous husband can handle is humorously humorous-ly related in Constance Tal-madge's Tal-madge's latest Select picture, "Mrs. Leffingwell's Boots." This great picture will be seen at the American theater the-ater today and tomorrow. The Leffing wells are a young couple who entertain opposite views on life. Mrs. Leffingwell is a spendthrift and her husband hus-band spends most of his time urging her to he careful of his income.

ABTLL, luminous with clever and dashing acts, brimful of pretty girls and rapid-fire comedy, is now playing at the Pantages. "Olives." the feature attraction. Is a really delectable little musical Jingle, garnished with lots of pretty maidens. The particular luminaries of the act are Sinclair and Dixon, two clever comedians, and Myrtle Lawlor, a pretty littie girl with an honest-to-goodne?s voice. Octavia Handworth & Co. delight everyone every-one with their travesty of modern life, labeled "Twice a Week." And as for Brltt Wood, the "boob and his harmonica," harmon-ica," well, he's a scream from start to finish and his act stands out sharply. The FolUs Sister and Nat IjC Roy have a breezy turn in their presentation of modern songs and dances, and Zeno. Dunbar Dun-bar and Jordan help with fun and feats of strength. Tho ninth chapter of "A Fight for Millions" Mil-lions" is just as thrilling as usual and La Tosl:a, the comedy juggler, and the tenth episode of "A Fight for Millions." Eddie Fitzpatricl: and hi3 orchestra will round out the bill. FASCINATING as ft is novel, the puppet show which Is being presented pre-sented at Social hall. Salt Lake's "Little theater," this week. Is making an appeal as pronounced upon adults as upon the children. The fairylike atmosphere and the cunning cun-ning antics of the mystic little doll actors and actresses, as they portray the various vari-ous characters in "Jack. the Giant-Killer" Giant-Killer" and "Little Red Riding Hood," revive all the romance of childhood days anew.

Leffingwell knows that Huntley has been very attentive to his wife and on the night of the dance he has occasion to pass the windows of Huntley's room. He sees the slippers on the feet of a person he believes to be his wife, but in reality is his maid, who Is trying on the slippers Huntley has presented her with. However. How-ever. Leffingwell believes his wife is in Huntley's room, and it is not until several weeks later that he is convinced lo the contrary and learns that there are two pn irs of slippers. The fact that there are two pairs of embroidered slippers exactly ex-actly alike brings about a happy solution. , DVANCE notices of "Runaway Ro-l Ro-l mnv." which will hp nt the Lih- i erty theater today, claim It to be 1 Jb. one of tho best pictures Marlon Davies has ever made. Miss Davies, winsome, bewitching and coy, , shows to excellent 'advantage throughout, and makes the entire picture sparkle with : vitality. PEOPLE want to se Caruso as a singer.

This, will be the first time in the history of : the industry when any other city has come ! before New York in the trade showing of a super de luxe production. In the past New York has always been chosen for such presentations, and exhibitors too far away from the metropolis had to depend for information about the production produc-tion on the reports of a dozen or more self-constituted critics. Such methods are whollv repugnant to the policy of the First National Exhibitors' Exhib-itors' circuit, and it was to do awav with them tliat Louis B. Mayer, manager of Anita Stewart, and a pronrinent member of the First National, planned a big transcontinental trans-continental tour of "Virtuous Wives" showings outside of New York. The result re-sult as far as Salt Lake is concerned will be a pre-release showing fully as elaborate elab-orate as any ever given on Broadwav. Like the First National, Mr. Mayer and his associates aVe newcomers in the picture pic-ture producing field, but they have come to the fore in leaps and bounds, until today to-day New York looks upon them as the most progressive producers in the Indus-, try. The pulley of the Stewart super de luxe productions calls for a great star, a great play, a great director and a great cast, a policy which is being followed generally gen-erally by the biggest stars of filmdom, the most recent examples being Mary Pickfurd and Norma Talmadgc. By se- i curing fur herself such big dramatic successes suc-cesses as "Daddy Longlegs" and "Polly- I anna," Miss I'ickford evidently agrees I with the Mayer contention that a big ; play is just as essential to the success of! a production as a big star. I That the innovation of local trade show-! Ings in various large cities will not long1 remain a novelty Is shown by the fact that other producers are. already making plans to follow suit. While admission to the showing hero will be by invitation, any person interested in, bigger and better productions may arrange to attend through the First National branch in Salt Lake City. TILLIE WAKES UP" is the title of a World picture in which Maris Dressier is appearing at the Strand theater today. Miss Dressier, critics declare, carries out the title role in great shape, her vivacious vi-vacious manner and quaint humor being especially outstanding. This picture is to be supplemented by "Her Silent Sacrifice," Sacri-fice," with Alice Brady in the leading role. LAST week Montgomery and Rock started to take some scenes in the city streets of Los Angeles and. In compliance with the city's health ordinance against congregating, congre-gating, stopped at the ponce station to secure the services ot an officer. A policeman po-liceman was not available at the moment, mo-ment, so an automobile was left at the station with instructions to proceed to a certain point when an officer was- secured. se-cured. They went to eight different locations, lo-cations, at seven of which they posted men tj guide the officer aiong. When' after two hours he tailed to arrive, ar-rive, ihey retraced their course, but found none of their men until the police station was reached and there the men and the officers also were found in the firm grasp of the law. The comedians j had overlooked the fact that the car I assigned to bring the officer was a runabout run-about and after the seven guides, ihe officer and the. driver had piled into the machine they were breaking the law against crowding and had been promptly arrested. WILLIAM DUNCAN has had another an-other narrow escape, but again the Duncan luck has been with him. It happened in the mak ing of a film, when Mr. Duncan Dun-can drove his car over a 25-foot embankment, em-bankment, landing safely with the car rignt side up. He had previously made several lesser jumps with an automobile automo-bile and felt confident that he could make this one and land on all four wheels at once. A mistake was made, however, In Judging Judg-ing the "take-off" at the edge of the bank; the upward slant wae a couple of inches higher than 1t should have been and when the car passed over the edge it raised straight up in the nir and then plunged nose first Into the groutid. Fortunately For-tunately it settled backward Instead of turning over, as the spectators believed It would, and a fatal accident was narrowly nar-rowly averted. One cf the men who rodq with him was catapulted clear of the car and severely cut and bruised, but with the exception of a few bumps Mr. Duncan came through without mlshnp and r most remarkable re-markable scene was recorded by the camera. 0NH of the strangest funeral processions proces-sions ever seen was that held at Universal City not long ago for Ethel, the great film lioness. There were many Jungle animals ani-mals in the funeral rortejre, and !t wni noted that even thy realised the loss of their comrade. An elephant swuntf he casket on his trunk.
