Reginald Belsize. to take place at the Salt Lake theater on Wednesday and Thursday, and to be participated in by Jules Murry's comedy company, headd by clever Alice Johnson. This play was presented here last season, and delighted the playgoers with Its charming comedy, witticisms, funny situations and clever lines. The work of the company this sea-rn sea-rn Is said to be even more clever than It was last year, and1 a deservedly big business being anticipated, an .unusually clever entertainment can be looked for. ... "Under 8outhem Skies" will be given for the first time in Salt Lake next Friday Fri-day night. A bargain matinee will be given Saturday, the engagement closing Saturday night. In bringing out this absorbing ab-sorbing story, the author, Lottie Blair Parker, who also wrote ." 'Way Down East," ha followed the same method of work which made " 'Way Down East" so delightful. She has made each one of the twenty-seven characters in "Under Southern South-ern Skies" a distinct type of individual life as found In the South. The impulsive "Colonel" of flowery speech; the cool. Impressive "Colonel" who Is "quick on the trigger" 'notwithstanding his calm demeanor; de-meanor; the courtly "Major," who covers a sad heart with smiles of cordial hospitality: hospi-tality: the young hot-headed suitors for the love of the heroine these are all the men of the South In the years following closely upon the great rebellion. The women, wo-men, too. dainty, airy, full of light-heart-rd gayety. are the women of the South, not yet Ingrained with the stern lesson of work and necessity which is the very birthright of the New England woman. These characters , set against a background back-ground of beautiful scenery and stately old Southern homes, move lightly and gaily through the succeeding scenes of the play, the thread of the story, the tragedy underlying It all growing stronger strong-er and stronger until the climax of the third act finds the audience tense and breathless. Curtain call after curtain call follows this act. ten and twelve calls sometimes being taken. The character which Roselle Knott portrays por-trays In "When Knighthood Was in Flower," that of the madcap Mary Tudor. Tu-dor. Is absolutely historical, though a statement to the contrary has been made since the play was brought out. Nearly four centuries ago "Princess Mary" was a very real and decidedly alive young person, whose beauty and temper were common objects of adoration and awe on the part of all Englishmen, of both high and low degree. To see Miss Knott In the part In to witness a most beautiful and wonderfully convincing- vivifying of thl long dead and almost forgotten wilful and lovable girl. ... George Ade, whoe famous "Fables in Slang" gave him a unique distinction, fulfilled the measure of his promise when he wrote "The College Widow." that charming comedy of American life which will be seen for the first time in the city at the Salt Lake theater soon. To be sure, "The County Chairman" eliminated dispute regarding Mr. Ade'a ability to construct satisfying plays, but "The College Col-lege Widow" Is so pre-eminently the comedy of years, that Mr. Ade'e claim to the top rung of the ladder of fame as a playwright is beyond contravention. Though the date of the flrt concert of the season by the Symphony orchestra has not been definitely fixed. It will probably prob-ably be given at the Salt Lake theater on December 4. The Orpheus club has consented con-sented to take part in the programme, and will give at least two numbers. This will undoubtedly add much to the Interest Inter-est of the concert. ' The effort to conduct a flrst-clsss Symphony orchestra last season sea-son was not a financial success, but there have been many generous responses to the request for guarantee subscriptions this year, and those who are Interested In maintaining an organization of this kind In Salt Lake are determined to go ahead and make it a success.
