War Play Thrills Audience at Salt Lake X7 IV IDLY realistic Is "Seven Days' Leave," which opaned last night at the Salt Lake theater, picturing the de-j de-j struction of a German submarine carrying ! stolen plans by a United States cruiser-, j Upon this foundation the interesting and exciting plot of the play is woven. The spirit of sacrifice and "carry on" marks the military drama by Walter Howard from beginning to end. Briefly, the play, which is illustrative of American and British patriotism, may be summarized as follows: In the library of Colonel Sharrow's house at Hampton Sandy, England, an American, Ameri-can, Major Terry Fielding, serving with the British artillery forces, exhibits his latest invention, which locates submarines. subma-rines. Suddenly the plans disappear, and then follows the trapping of the thieves. Suspicion points to a Belgian wounded officer of-ficer and his sister, Madame Constance Morrell, who are Germans masquerading under false colors. To catch the spies, Captain Fielding must win the confidence of the woman spy by making love. This means sacrifice on his part, as he has become engaged to marry Lady May Heather and his actions cause an estrangement. Then dawns the exciting moment when ! America's fleet enters British waters, and ! the spies plan a getaway with the plans, j together with the destruction of the fleet, j The giving of the signal for the subma-I subma-I rine to rise must be done by a woman, ) who telegraphs the code message. A race ! between Lady Mary and the German spy j results in the destruction of the subma-1 subma-1 rine and the saving of the American fleet. I The United States cruiser, with Its crew on Its deck, firing on the U-boat, called j forth much applause. , The play is ably presented by a large cast. ' Walter Sherwin as Major Fielding, Charles Canfield as Colonel Sharrow, Lillian Lil-lian Lee Anderson as Lady May Heather and Phyllis Carrington as Madame Constance Con-stance Morrell, the German spy, gave realistic re-alistic renditions of their difficult parts. Clay Cody as Lord Arthur Pendennls and Marck Dale as Captain Cornelius Pendennls Pen-dennls brigthened the play with their witticisms. Others in the cast are H. St. Clair Young, Irene des Rocher, Con-stanza Con-stanza Robinson, Marie Pert, Louis Mountjoy, Frank B. Hersome. Orin T. Burke, Wilson Fulton, Harry Glover, Samuel Sam-uel Weller, Howard Montgomery, Basil B. Callon and Howard Allen. The play will run throughout the week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. "The Follydols, ' ' Newliouse Cabaret Entertainment Feature, Score Success With Song and Dance Offerings. HpHE FOLLYDOLS," the new show now playing at the Newhouse, scored a brilliant success on the opening night of its winter engagement, and seems assured of wide popularity. The presentation presen-tation proved to be as refreshingly new as its name and was acclaimed the brightest bright-est and merriest performance of its kind seen in Salt Lake In many a day. A crowd which taxed to the utmost the dining-room facilities of the Newhouse was in attendance from the beginning of the show at 6:30 until the final number after midnight. "The Follydols" are a group of clever entertainers under the direction of Grover Frankie, a comedian and singer of ability. He has associated with him other performers per-formers of high merit, including a chorus of graceful singing and dancing girls. Their program is a happy melange of songs and dances and sketchy musical comedy bits, ail executed with snap and breeziness. The Newhouse management announces a complete change of program for "The Follydols" each Monday night. Performances Perform-ances are given twice each evening and once during the dinner hour Sunday, with special afternoon tea performances Thursday Thurs-day and Saturday. Maurice Tourneur's (Epic) Production, "Woman," Begins Run at Broadway Broad-way Theater Today. MAURICE TOURNEUR'S epic production, produc-tion, "Woman," which comes to the Broadway today, is unique in many ways. For one thing, the photo offering is remarkable re-markable in the number of beautiful women wom-en utilized in telling the story and the few men necessary to the unfolding of the plot. ,"My new picture," says Mr. Tourneur, "reflects the spirit of tnc day. Women women everywhere! We find women in every position these days and it is quite natural to turn out an almost wholly feministic production." Mr. Tourneur signed Diana Allen, the Ziegfeld Follies beauty; Flore Revalles, the famous singer and dancer of the Bales t Ballet Russe, who was seen in last season's Century show; Ethel Hailor, the beauty of the present Century roof show; Gloria Goodwin, Good-win, the popular dancer, well known to vaudeville and musical productions; Lyn Donaldson, and Faire Einney, sister of Constance Binney, the dancing hit of "Ob, Lady! Lady!" To offset this avalanche ava-lanche of beauty the masculine portion of the picture is upheld by many notable actors, Paul Clerget. the noted French actor; .lovable Pierrot, Sr., of "Pierrot, the Prodigal," and many others. 1 1 Sealed Hearts, ' 1 Starring Eugene O'Brien, Begins Its Run Today at American Theater.
