A. few yoars ago Roeell Knott practically unknown.- When she be. came Richard Haotfleld s leading woman, theater-goers occnulonally said of her, "You will hear of that girl some day., rur,most of them looKed upon her 'with favor, .thought she hod talent In- certain lines and then dlHtnlssed her from their . rnlnda as. a-peraon-of-- little crmsequenee. Not so with the managers. Their astute Judgment detested the real talent in the KlrU They saw the. atrlUc spirit which prompted her In' her work with Mnn"0.eld, Jo keep emphnOally in the batkrround. They realized that It was. tha . art -that t conceals art. and noil any lack of ability. Miss Knott ta a convincing actress x- quisltely convlnoing-not the kind of a woman who might startle the world with her power, but the type that takes hold of t ones-heart, who convinces without anv atfgressivenes. who .charms -because of her simplicity .and quiet dignity.. For the last two years Miss Knott has starred in "When Knighthood Was In Flower," and won the praise of rress and public every-""e. every-""e. for Jjejr excellent portrayal of , Mary Tudor. . . This season Miss Knott brings us the latest comedy. "Allce-Blt-by-the-Flre." St J .M- BRr1,1'- author of "Peter fan" The Little Minister" and other metropolitan metropol-itan surceases. "AHee-81tby-the-Flre" Is pronounced by tho Eastern critics as the best of the IJarrie cemedies. and a play which suits Roselle Knott" better than any she has heretofore had. The production will be presented in its entirety en-tirety Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at tho Salt Lake Theater, and Bhould draw a capacity audience. ORPHEUM THEATER.

Eu-. ropean engagements stand open by the acore, whose weekly salary knocks a big , hole in a thousand dollars, and who but whafs the use? Fapinta is the headllner at, the Orp'ieum next week. That will be enough to keep the "S. R. O." sign working work-ing overtime. I'npfnta is not a serpentina serpen-tina dancer in the accepted meaning of the term. She is more. Bv the aid of mirrors, strong calcium lights, plate glass traps in the floor of tho stage a,nd other patented devices, she .assembles her colors, col-ors, like an aurora of tiio .tropics, pulsing, puls-ing, throbbing, glowing nnd blending through eve.y brilliant transition, of WIGHT AND YOUNGEE, Strong men who appear at the T.
