It is a story of the Hudson Bay country, full of color and action, inspiring in its theme, thrilling in its situations and said to he one of the most perfectly constructed construct-ed plays on the stage. It depicts life in the locale of the story as it could be depicted de-picted only by one intimately acquainted acquaint-ed with the passions, impulses and motives mo-tives which inspire men deep in the heart of nature. Of interest to the Social Hall following Is the announcement that David Lindley will assume the leading male part in the Varsity productions of the future, beginning begin-ning with "The Wolf."

The title role Is a stellar one. and Moore extracts from It every bit of humor that Pelham Grenville Wode-house, Wode-house, the author, put Into the famous story which appeared serially In the Saturday Sat-urday Evening Post and won nationwide popularity. As "Piccadilly Jim" Moore goes through a series of adventures and mishaps which makes his name a byword in England and In America, where most of the action ac-tion lakes place. Through a long succession of screamingly scream-ingly funny incidents, beginning with an encounter with a duke in the club, wherein where-in the duke comes off a most decided second sec-ond best, and terminating with the unmasking un-masking of a scoundrelly Impostor, "Piccadilly "Pic-cadilly Jim" goes to face In the end a I future which includes unlimited baseball BJtAMA AND VADDEVItLiit SoSlnf m v' uf, s,ctnlc Pmctlon. randamrdiI'v.-NOah' Wed- LLo,n TllUr'"1"V' rri,,"v Saturday 1 viV, 0 t y n,ght week, witti mati- s Thursday aud Saturday.

LOVERS of clean, Irish corrjetly will have their appetites whetted when they hear Chauncey Olcott in the de-plifflitful de-plifflitful Irish comedy " Macushla," 'by T;ida Johnson Young, which cornea to J the Salt Lake theatre next Thursday, Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee. Miss Young is a past, master in writing writ-ing clean and wholesome Irish plays, and it is one of Mr. Olcott 's assets never to produce or play in a comedy with the new ideas of tho lata New York successes. There is scartdal and trouble enough in the world without planting it be-foTe be-foTe the eyes of the public, and plays like "Macushla'' are always welcome ause the entire family can see it without giving a blush to the rosy clvek of a girl" of 16. k'uriug Mr. Olcott 's career, it has been tiis good fortune to be directed by u management that will not tolerate comedies of the unrestrained type, and in his first plays no lines or scenes ;havc been allowed that would in any w:iv mar an evening of rare delight, i J ' Macushla" is one of tho beautiful uiedies of the time, written by a I playwright of the highest type, and one I. v. ho knows the valuo of modest and clean situations. "Macushla" has been revived at the request of hundreds of Mr. Olcott 's admirers. ad-mirers. One or two cities in the Uuiou, where a floating population demand a cotn-j cotn-j ciiy of the "racy" sort have supplied ' the demand to this morbid theater-c theater-c 'cr. but in the majority of well governed gov-erned cities the call is for the best in everything. "Macushla" is declared to fill the bill. rpHE CALL OF THE NORTH," -1- one of the most successful dramas dra-mas ever produced ou the American Amer-ican stage, will be the offering this week at the Hippodrome, with Ralph Cloninger appearing in the principal role, supported by Miss Kir-n-- an King and members of the Cloninger Clon-inger com pan v. "The Call "of the Xorth" served for some time as the starring vehicle for Robert Edeson and is a story concerning concern-ing the doings of the people inhabiting tha Canadian wilds about twenty years ago. At this time tho Hudson's Bay company, com-pany, long the dominating influence in Canada, was in the height of its power. The law of the laud consisted of the laws of the company. The factors, or men in charge of the trading posts, where trappers brought their furs, were the judges aud high executioners. Into this wilderness comes a young engineer, a man from the "outside world" and with him the daughter of tho factor falls in love. Conflicting interests, intrigue such as charac terized the dealings between men of that wild country and the charming Ibvu siory form the central theme atout which "The Call of the North" is built. Throughout, however, there is a comedy relief which is one of the principal charms of the play. The opportunities for an elaborate sceuic production are many, and they have been taken advantage of by Mr. Cloninger and his associates, with the result that "The Call of the North" bids fair to be tho most pretentious offering of-fering of the season at the local stock theatre. The play will open tonight and continue con-tinue throughout the week, with performances per-formances every night and Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. The popular innovation which was started two weeks ago the singing of popular songs between the nets by Frank P. Gibney will be continued this week. A N eight-act bill, the first of the sea- in which Mr. Savo shows himself a droll comedian. He is assisted lev Joan Eranza. William Ebs, a fine ventriloquist, has a big surprise in his original act. He's one of the finest artists in his lino as well. Ergotti's Lilliputians are well known to vaudeville, but have lately been with "Gloriana." Their return will lj welcomed. wel-comed. Robbie Gordone will be seen in character char-acter studies and poses. She is not only a superb artist, but a most beautiful woman and her twelve art studies are wonderful creations. Another act to be announced later, with Kinograms and Topics of the Day, complete the big bill, THE Denlshawn dancers, of exquisite and lissome grace, are this week telling tell-ing Pantages patrons the beautiful story of "Julnar of the Sea," a 0iceles3 drama, expressed through the medium of their wonderful dancing." Included in the dancing danc-ing cast are sixteen people, each one a terpsiehorean artist of stellar magnitude. As Julnar. the beautiful, Alice Powell portrays a gay sea sprite whose home is at the bottom of the sea. Her dancing son. is the tasty offering the Orpheum will serve its patrons this week beginning Wednesday evening. James J. Morton, the "Animated Program," is the additional addition-al feature to the regular seven acts. The fact that there are eight attractions attrac-tions doesn't mean that all the acts are not up to Orpheum standard. On the other hand tiie bill in its entirety has all the advance appearance of an especially strong combination. Albertina Rasch, the great ballet dancer, is the headiiner, with her company of dancers in interpretative dance creations. The act is declared to be one of the prettiest of its kind and the principal and her assistants finished terpsiehorean terp-siehorean artists. Leona Stephens and Ien D. Hollister in "Out in California" are regular hill-toppers. hill-toppers. Both players have won big successes suc-cesses in musical comedy. Miss Stephens having been but recently the star in "The Only Girl," and Mr. Hollister was leading man for May Irwin. They share featured honors with James J. Morton. "An Animated Ani-mated Program," and an additional fea-' ture on the hill. Mr. Morton humorously announces each act and scores at least seven hits every' performance.

His shallow-brained brother also loves the girl. and. by the inexplicable tricks of romance, wins her. Thero is a strong development of the eternal triangle of love, of mystery and tragedy, which ends in a tremendously strong climax. The picture is reported by eastern reviewers to be one of tin best films of the vear. Also on liie program is James J. Cor-bett Cor-bett in "The Midnight Man," and the laest Mutt and Jeff comedy. MARGUERITE CLARK, the popular little Paramount star, who recently became the wife of Captain H. Palmerson Wiliiams, after spending her honeymoon in Washington, completed her new Paramount Para-mount picture. "Mrs. Wlcgs of the Cabbage Cab-bage Patch," which will be shown at the titrand theater today and tomorrow. In this famohs subject Miss Clark plays tho part of Lovey Mary, that Immortal character Which Is fajniliar to every child as well as to grownups. During her absence from the studio a completo apartment had been fitted up at the Fifty-sixth street. New York, studio for Miss Clark. There are tlu-ae rooms und kitchenette, so thut Miss Clark's maid may cook dainty lunches when the Paramount star is too busy to go out for it. "Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage ratcjl" was staged under the direction of Hugh l-'ord, who produced the play In LondBl , as well as in New York. The cast pre- I Fonts one of the most notable agyrertf- I tions of popular Paramount and Artcraft i players ever disclosed In i tlltn. CONTRAST has much to do with the exqulstte dramatic quality of Cecil B. Do Millo's tatcst rarnmount-Arteraft picture, "Male and Female," which opened u week's engagement at the Gem theater last night. Sir James M. Barrle's famous play. "The Admirable Crlchton," forms the basis of the Story, which relates re-lates the thrilling experience of a super-lutelllgent super-lutelllgent English butler. Crlchton. A mere menial lu England, Crlchton becomes be-comes the man of the hour when his master's yachting parly Is wrecked on a desert Island. He rules tho fortunes of the grouii and wins the heart of his master's mas-ter's beautiful daughter, only to refuse her for a liule serving maid. The sumptuousness of the English country home, wrfere the story opens, contrasted with the primitive tropical isle; tho magnificent Lady Mary and the humble servant, Tweeny, who finally wins Crichton's heart; Crichton, the butler, but-ler, and Crichton, the monarch, are cuc-celiently cuc-celiently brought out by tho supreme art of Cecil B. De MiUe. It is a lavish, realistic production throughout and wilt uin new honors for the director extraordinary. rp HE playing of Harry" Green in "The Cherry Tree," his last season's vehicle, ve-hicle, and "George Washington Cohen" as attracted general attention from the public and the critics alike. It has also attracted praise from a source usually chary of such compliments. David Wax-field Wax-field paid the young actor a marked tribute, declaring that Green was the only one who. he felt, could be considered consid-ered as his successor. "i became very well acquainted with Mr, Y art" ield in San Fi-anciseo last year," said Mr. Green, "and when 'The Cherry .Treo was offered in New York. Mr. War-field War-field came to see it several times. One night he called upon me in my dressing room,! and told me that of all the comedians come-dians he had seen he believed I was the only one who would be ablo to step into his place. "I consider the compliment a most high one. Possibly, it is because I have always tried to be natural on the stage that I have met with success in that act as well as in the present one. If I so desired I could secure a hundred laughs burlesquing my roles. The laugh would come, but tho ultimate result would not bo the same. There are plenty ct" legitimate laughs In the sketch, and iiu when, people go away Ihfiy retain an impression of truth. "On tho other hand. If I were to Indulge In-dulge in strained offorts to secure laughs, the audiences would realize that the effect was false, even though they were amused at the time. Although 1 have no gifts as a writer, the sketches In a sense are mine, as T suggested the outlines to Aaron Hoffman, who wrote the playlets. "The ideas arc ones which I have had In mind for some three years and they gradually tool, deri;-..!,- shape. Mr. H.of-m&u H.of-m&u has written a number of vaudeville sketches with Hebrew types. He has the gift of putting the Hebrew on the stage as he really ts, and not Bomo vulgar caricature. That. I feel.
