Theatregoera of thla city will have an opportunity to laugh at "Utile Miss Mrown" when It appearaat the Halt Lake theatre next Thursday and Prlday nights. Nothing in recent theatrical history has created quite tha Interest that la aroueed by "Utile Mlaa Brown." While known as a farce, the play Is more than that, be-cause be-cause of the careful character drawings, the fidelity with which the situations are developed along legitimate lines and tha entire plausibility of the atory. It la a riot of laughter, but tha fun la not forced by exMKneratlon nor by Impoealble characters. charac-ters. Instead, It depends on the genuine humor of the lines and the natural deval-opmenta deval-opmenta of perfectly reasonable. If ludicrous, ludi-crous, compllratlona.

It Is their latest effort and It will surely sure-ly engross the attention of theatregoera and all dramatic and literary atudents. A new play hy Belaaro and a new character char-acter by Warfleld will furnish the acme of novelty and sestful Interest. "The Return of Peter Orlmm" Is the title of the new play, and It la looked as lavld Belasoo's most Inspired work. In his Incessant search for new dramatic material, the ureal author director di-rector haa entered a field never before attempted or dared by recent drumatlsta.

David Melasco has told us little concerning concern-ing the story of the new work. We know, however, that Peter Orlmm dies at the end of the first n't and that he reappears during the subsequent action of the play. The motives of the reappearance, Its mission. mis-sion. Its causes. Its results, are atlll matters mat-ters of mystery, and only the performance Itself will reveal how Mr. llelasco lias handled a subject so strange and unusual. He has told us how he was Impelled to write and produce a play on this theme Scene from "Tha Bteraal Waltg." Tandsrrllla'g moat ambitions headline-, at the Oiyhenm next waat. AT THE ORPHEUH The much heralded "Eternal Walts." with Its fifty persons and nearly one hour's tuneful entertainment, together with five other high class modern vaudeville vaude-ville acts, will constitute tho naw bill at the Orpheum. This offering, which opens Sunday afternoon and runs throughout the week, It Is affirmed, discounts any bill presented at the State street home of vaudeville to date. "The Eternsl Waits."

Mr. Hart's experience, not only as a producer of bigger vaudeville attractions, attrac-tions, but of many contributions of the legitimate theatre, la particularly fitted for the purpose. Lois Merrill and Prank Otto offer a dainty little bit of amusement which will afford a genuine relief. It Is called "After "Af-ter the Shower," and Is a little summer flirtation with tuneful numbers and bright repartee cleverly Interwoven with a charming romance.
