Show 1 THEATERS There is plenty of vigor and dash in "The Jolly Girls" burlesque company, which opened a week's engagement at the Lyric theater Saturday. It can hardly be said that there are any great top-liners, top-liners, but the entire cast averages up well, the female members of the company being about the best-looking lot that has graced the stage of the Lyrio for some time. The programme consists of a two-act two-act musical skit entitled. "An Honest Politician," which gives the company a chance to display a number of handsome costumes, not to mention figures. Between Be-tween the two acts an olio of four numbers num-bers is given, the best of which is Harry Clark's "Radium Dance." which is a distinct dis-tinct novelty to the Salt Lake theatergoers theater-goers and well worth seeing. George T. Davis gives two illustrated songs in a manner which wins the approval of the audience. The Lassard brothers give a clever acrobatic act. Melville and Rosalie Rosa-lie furnish a singing and talking act that is entertaining from start to finish. The bill goes until Friday night, with the usual matinee Wednesday. The following will take part In the production of the "Old Dairy Home-, stead," which will be presented by the boys of the T. M. C. A. next Friday night: Neil Pratt. Frank Whitney. Frank Cameron, Austin Landenberger, Chester Bowers. Miss Bowers. Kate McCory. Grace Courtney and Mary McPherson. Howard Butler Is business manager of the production: Neil Pratt stage manager, and Terrell Hoyt, property man. "Capt. Heme. V. 8. A.." filled the Grand theater to Its capacity last night, and every person In the audience was thrilled to the limit. There are thrills n. top of thrills.- and then some In the play, and the majority of the gallery gods have sore throats today in consequence of the vociferousness of their applause. The capable stock company at the Grand, headed by Theodore Lorch. presented "Capt. Heme" in a most acceptable manner, man-ner, and though it was the first time the company had appeared In It, the performance perform-ance went smoothly. The scenery was the product of Salt Lake artists, and the paltn was scarcely dry on the most of It when the asbestos was hoisted. Theodore Theo-dore Lorch makes a capital Capt. Howard How-ard Steme, who though Southern by birth and residing In Louisiana, chooses to wear the uniform of blue. Leon Hath-enbach, Hath-enbach, in the ungrateful role of the villain, vil-lain, Geoffrey Coldchester, acted so well the part that sibilant sounds from the gallery attested the merit of his pfrf romance. rom-ance. Miss Ruby Lindsay, a Salt Lake girl, appeared with the company for the first time, and did well in the part of Ines La Garr. The other roles were well placed. A number of soldiers from Fort Douglas participated In the performance. "Cant. Heme" will be given until Wednesday night, with matinee Wednesday. Wednes-day. The succeeding bill will be "Her Mad Marriage." o The Orpheum's offering for this week includes the Four Juggling Normans in a club-swinging act with trimmings: Horsky-Bergere company, presenting the sketch, "He, She and He"; Count de Buts and brother In a trick blcyclee turn, and five other numbers.
