England home v plays, "Shore Acfes," continues to, grow In popularity front year to year, and the prohts gained through, this single work nave brought Independence to Mr. Heme's family. "The well-known novelist, novel-ist, Hamlin Garland, iias compared "fchore Acres" to the poems of James Whiteomb KUer. ' "Like them," says Mr. Garland, "it expresses by Indirection Indirec-tion Just as common folks do In life. It expresses sorrow, not by direction, hut by the choking voles and by the tremble trem-ble In the chin, and Its humor is spontaneous spon-taneous and native to the groups from which it proceeds in utterance. Laughter Laugh-ter abounds, and something sweet and solemn runs through the whole story. It has repose in Its action. The actors come end go carelessly, or buslty, like living figures. There isno center of the stage, no declamations, no aside, no soliloquies, almost nothing to make against verity. It has no .villain, no wronged woman, no hero, no hlghfalu-tin' hlghfalu-tin' speech in its entire length; nobody is killed, nobody falls down cellar with a piano; and yet the play has acXleved a remarkable success." For this sea-, son's production of "Shore Acres' Ernest Er-nest Albert has furnished entirely new scenery. The acting company Jncludes all of the old favorites. A thoroughly first-class production of till famous play will be given at the yalt Lake Theater next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, with a popular matinee Wednesday at 3 o'clock. J Othello, the majestic Moor of Venice, and Don Caesar de Baxan the volatile hero of Spanish court life, are two of the most conspicuous characters In Charles B. Hanford's repertoire for the current season. Mr. Hanford's Interpretation Inter-pretation of the role of Othello Is one of the standard creations of the modern stage. JThe play Is familiar to every play-goer and every reader as -One which reveals the highest opportunities opportuni-ties for the exercise of a tragedian's art. It is a drama of powerful human passion and requiring the dignity of bearing and Intensity of emotional expression ex-pression for which Mr. Hanford is distinguished. dis-tinguished. In "Don Caesar de Basan" a far lighter mood is called Into Play. a'nd no one who has seen Mr. Hanfordr as the roystering Petruchlo or the dashing dash-ing Benedick can doubt his competence compe-tence to give an Ideal portrayal of this flower of courage and chivalry. Frank Hennlg will have the responsibilities of the "villain" role in each play, being cast for Iago In "Othello" and Don Jose In "Don Caesar." Mr. Edward D'Olse will play Cassio and the King of Spain. A large and competent company will Insure complete and efficient performances. perform-ances. Miss Marie Drofnah will be seen 'as Desdemoma, a role in which she has commanded the warmest critical admiration, and as the singer Marltana, whose charms Inspire Don Caesar to his gallant enterprises. "Othello" will be presented by Mr. Hanford at the Salt Lake Theater at a special matinee on Thursday, February t; at night "Don Caesar de Basan" will be the play. Harry Beresford, the English comedian, come-dian, will be at the Salt Lake Theater Friday and Saturday nights, with matinee mat-inee Saturday, In "Our New Man." In the character of Truman Toots Mr. Beresford Is afforded all sorts of chances for originality, and he makes good by the quiet comedy he infuses In a roaring farce. "Our New Man" is a collection of ludicrous situations, clever clev-er dialogue and complications that seem intangible. There is enough slot to make It interesting, and, best of all, there is an element of naturalness unusual un-usual In a farce. Clergymen of all denominations enthusiastically en-thusiastically indorse "Everyman," the fifteenth cenfury morality play, which the original company, under the personal per-sonal direction of Ben Green, will present pre-sent at the Salt Lake Theater soon. Creatore came, saw and conquered. The audience at the Salt Lake Theater was not as large as it might have been under other circumstances, but the long-haired wizard of the baton certainly cer-tainly captured those who heard his famous fa-mous band. Creatore has many mannerismseccentricities. man-nerismseccentricities. If he chooses to call them so but he conjures music from brass throats and Inspires the men under him with his own seal. This energetic young: Italian has been in this country scarce five years, coming across the water with no other possession posses-sion than his genius. But he commanded command-ed attention and Is now recognised as one of the real band leaders of America. Amer-ica. The programme of Friday night's concert was not too classical to bore the average hearer, but had sufficient of high grade music to please even (he most critical. Madame Barlll, the sb-lolet, sb-lolet, sings well. Her selection, Gounod's Gou-nod's "Ave Maria," was rendered with sweetness and grace, and she pleased the popular ear Dy giving as an encore 'The Mocking Bird." Creatore and his msnd will appear at a matinee Saturday Satur-day afternoon and again Saturday night. At both performances it Is anticipated anti-cipated there will be large crowds, as there will be no counter-attraction In opposition. |
