but failed ailed faBe to put on even oven a passably good sod show Speaking of ot frosts It was wa about the tho worst frost that an any old regular at atthe atthe atthe the Orpheum ever ver sa AW PAW or heard herd of or The above above- Is only one ono Illustration of or orthe the tho treatment accorded Salt Lake patrons by the The Idea of or the tho Orpheum p people ople seems to be that an any old thing Is good enough for tor or a a Salt Lake audience audience- The They seem cem to think Jud Judging ln from rom their actions that tho the Salt Sal Lako Lake audience Is either cither very Ignorant or e else cleo e VCr very easy and gullible and ami content to P pay the te price prie of or a good show Rho for or an any old rotten roten bill bi which the management mo may elect to foist upon the thc Salt Lake people But those who have uwe seen the Orpheum at San Sn Francisco Los Ls Angeles and elsewhere arc are not so 50 Ignorant nor are thoy they de deceived do- do but thc they know kno there 13 is no rio lO comparison comparison com corn parison between the tho good gO shows s ho which the Orpheum puts on In those thoe cities and tho the bills bils which are arc worked oft or on Salt Sal Lake by IW the same ame Orpheum manage tonnage ment Those of us who were there them at tho opening night ht of ot the tho now no Orpheum In Salt l Lake have not forgotten the promIses promises promises prom prom- made rade at nt that limo b by tho the Orpheum management that henc henceforth Corth Salt Sit Lake Lako can cn look forward foran to and expect ct tho the same high CIR class S performances here that are aro shown In San Francisco and anel Los LO Angeles But not content to send end the lame lanie d ducks B to lo Salt Lake Lkc and amid to 10 t foIst folst on us the tho r rotten roten numbers number which would queer the the show how In the coast cities the tho management ement of or tho the continues to short change e tho the Salt Luke Lako people as shown In your good articles on the tho subject subject sub sub- Jee b by putting on fewer numbers for Cor or orthe tho the same ame money than arc put on In the cUlt coast cities and elsewhere There Ther Is Js however ho one ono consolation In considering this tha phase e of ot the subject and that Is IB It I the other othor two t o numbers which Salt Lake Lako audiences are cheated chete out of are as a devoid of or cleverness as most mot of tho those lhasa 6 that aro are if sown sown-I If the they perforce must bo be as poor pf miserable and uninteresting eating esting as the va vat vast t majority then majority then we wo are areto areto areto to bo be congratulated that only six or 01 soven numbers number are shown Enough Is enough of ot anything A few v weeks ago aso the headliner at the was wa a clover clever who had Just finished playing Los Lg Angeles before coming to Salt Sail Sil Lk Lake with wih the Uie other two or three persons who pla played In a a. a skit Tho The climax clima In the little name camo when the tho supposed ed servant girl rl appears appearson apper on tho the stage In her true character of or the te princess At Los Ls Angeles tho the actress appealed appeared ap ap- ap- ap pealed at this point pInt In a most gorgeous bedazzling gown gow suitable for or a a princess princess- but what hat happened In Salt Lake Lako The actress s appeared merely In the te same cos costume cs- cs ces- ces tume which she had d first appeared In as a the servant girl evidently considering her Salt Lake audience a bunch of or mutts mutt mutt who would fall fail fal to recognize the therbe robes of or ofa a princess princes and therefore unnecessary unnecessary un un- un- un necessary to go bO to Ute the trouble of oC changing her costume In con congratulating THE E EVENING G TELEGRAM upon the good work which It I is doing In calling the tho attention of the Salt Lake Ike people to tho unfair treatment which the thin Orpheum Om Is la giving Its Is Salt Lake Lako patrons It mn may not be amiss amis to speak of or the duties utes of ot a n. newspaper to its It subscribers It I should not lend It Itself to deception and falsehood in Its It criticisms of shows which It I knows and pr e everyone else elso knows are arc absolutely rotten and should hould be bo severely rather criticised-rather rather than Itself in tho position of o the thu barker barker at a country fair inducing some unsuspecting unsuspecting person peron to pla play the shell game Signed Disgusted members of or the Transportation pota lion tion club dub who arc are rf regular patrons of or Salt S1 Lake Lako i I Sr am heart heartily in favor of the tho recently a adopted opte by THE TELEGRAM in in regard to the criticisms on the local ocal theatres T I don dont don't t see 80 why the
