Show ! ' ' s VTIIITE WHITTLESEY SCORED . A decided hit at the Salt Lake Theater The-ater Wednesday night In "The Second Sec-ond la Command." The character v of "Kit" Bingham, the big-hearted cavalry Major. Is peculiarly suited to Mr. Whittlesey. He both looks and acts the part well. The audience-. Wednesday night, though small, was enthusiastic and Mr. Whittlesey was compelled to make . a speech before the curtain at the close of the second act. The other parts were also In competent hands, John Sainpolls making an especially good impression as Col. Anstruthers. Miss Eugenie Thais Lawton, who, by the way, is a Kentucky girl, was a pleasing Muriel. "The Second in Command" will be given again Thursday night. Friday and Saturday Sat-urday nights Mr. Wrhlttlesey will present 'dlers of Fortune." At the Saltan matinee "Heartsease" will be given again. MISS BLANCHE BATES CLOSED her engagement at the Grand theater the-ater Wednesday night In "The Darling Dar-ling of the Gods." The engagement was not a success financially. The production is too extensive for the limited stage of the Grand. Miss Bates, however, was most pleasing In her role of the Japanese Princess and it was most gratifying to her old friends to see her again. At the ' matinee Wednesday a double bill was given. The curtain raiser, "My Aunt's Advice," is a charming bit of comedy.- In "Madam Butterfly," Butter-fly," a Japanese tragedy. Miss . Bates appeared really at her best, and those who witnessed the performance per-formance were carried away with rapture. . . e e e THE SALE OF SEATS FOR "UNCLE Tom's Cabin," opening at the Grand" theater Monday night, begins be-gins Friday morning. - "THE SULTAN OF SULU," GEORGE Ade's first comic opera effort, will be given its first Salt .Lake production produc-tion at the Salt Lake Theater next Thursday night, running until the end of the week.
