I -The roost ambitious piece of work yet attempted by the Orpheum Stock company, com-pany, "In Old Heidelberg." was put on at the Orphuro theater last night. While j there was some of the natural roughness j inevitable in a finst performance, the pre sentation, considering the length of time . spent in preparation and the unpreten-I unpreten-I tious character of the company was cred itable. The staging was good and the l' scenic effects pretty.

Her fluster over the i approaching visit of the Prince, her con- 4 . fusion in greeting him, and her ease when she discovers that he .is Just plain Karl Helnrich for all of his position, are espe-i espe-i . cially well done. Her response to his love-maitlnr, her -Joy in his companion- ' ship, and her sorrow at his departure, show the impulsive, modest, sweet young girl who loves for love's sake.

Luts, valet de chambre to the Prince, represented by Roy Clements, was clever. Gus Mortimer aa Dr. Juttner, tutor to his Highness), was fairly good. R. J. Barrett, aa Minister of State, was excellent. P. G. MacLean. as Count Von Asterberg, was better fitted to the part than any he has yet assumed. Scott Roberts as Ruder, the Innkeeper, was clever in the comedy role. The audience showed an unpardonable lack of response and eympatby with the interpretation of the dainty old play, however. It not only seemed to be out of touch with the dlU t cate shadings of the classic, but demon- st rated the rudeness that suggested a hoodlum element. The old German airs played by the orchestra, through the performance per-formance added to Its effectiveness. j- The same bill will -run through the week. ' The Zinn's company, at Casino park, seems to get better every week, and the life and vivacity thrown into its work Is far ahead of many of the big musical v ': snows seen here during the regular season. sea-son. With the beginning of warm weather weath-er the patronage grows. Henrietta Crosman, the famous actress, who is coming to the Salt Lake theater next Monday In her latest and biggest New York hit, aVnodern comedy, "Mary, Mary. Quite Contrary," is uncommonly gifted in many directions. Stage people as a class are versatile, and frequently possess attainments outside of the line of acting1, and Miss Crosman is endowed with an uncommon store of talents. As a painter of pictures she could probably "V, earn a comfortable income. She studied painting aa a girl, and has never wholly S given up this art,' She is an accomplished musician, and although it is not generally known, she possesses a remarkably fine singing voice. Her early stage ambition inclined to grand opera, for which she studied for a time. Her fondness for out-of-door life has made her an expert in many out-of-door sports. She is devoted to golf, boating and swimming, and is a fine horsewoman. Furthermore, she is an j ' ' accurate rifle and pistol shot. Her shoot-1 shoot-1 ing, however, is always limited to inani- I mate marks. She never shoots an animal or bird, holding that it is a heedless cru-i cru-i elty to take the life of anything. A like compunction keeps her from fishing, I which Is about the only sport she doesn t i follow. Nor will she ever Join a fishing ! 'paAty. She cannot endure to see a fish - lnauled through the water or taken from ' .-; : he hook. I -? The New Grand theater is crowded to fih doors every night by the Ethel Tuck-I Tuck-I .
