"Rapho" didn't shock the great audience audi-ence which greeted Miss Olga Nether-sole Nether-sole at the Salt Lake Theater last night. This Isn't New York. The metropolis threw up its hands In horror at a play which only suggests the Beamy side of life, but dons Its matinee attire and flghta with policemen to hear from a wretched woman's life of a human brute'a campaign to drag young girls to shame. "fiapho" Isn't terribly risque. There Is nothing horribly shocking about the famous fa-mous stairway scene, when Fanny Le Grande Is carried to her bedroom In the arma of her new-found lover. The play Is objectionable only so far aa It Is true to life, and then only to the purists who blush at even a paaslng view of the un-conventlonalltlea un-conventlonalltlea practiced by "the other half." Miss Nethersole'e rr-emlnnt ability as an artrese lies In her lntns realism. She Is the most natural, perhaps, of all artreases. Her carriage Is absolutely devoid de-void of any sug-gestlon of affectation and even the "stage laugh'' Is larking. She smokes her cigarette as If no eyes were upon her and she is natural In "the smllea In her eyes," the famous Neth-ersola Neth-ersola kiss. In her fits of weeping and when she beats the eggs for tho omelette served at the last dinner In the country home she shares with Jean Gaussln. Realism, some crltli- has said.

Miss Netheraole la merely realistic, which Is to say that she makes the character a living, throbbing entity. "Sapho ' required three and a half hours in the rendition, but most of the audience would have welcomed even a fifth act and they watched the curtain fall for the last time with a protest.
