Show u ' TALKED ABOUT. What the press agent modestly heralds her-alds as the " most talked of act in vaudeville " is to be the headline offering of-fering at the Orphcum during the coming week. It sounds like a railroad rail-road dfama "Stop, Look Listen." This clever little playlet from the pen of Matthew White, Jr., who lived in Salt Lake as a boy and went to his first theatre here, is versatile May Tully's vehicle. Miss Tully was recently leading woman at the Madison Square Theatre The-atre in New York, and last winter at Daly's in one of Bernard Shaw's plays. The fact that she is now taking tak-ing a flyer in vaudeville is tersly explained ex-plained by her in the words, "because "be-cause I need the money." The plot of the sketch is an actress urging at the railroad station, a young country girl not to go to New York to " bc-coime bc-coime an actress," telling her of the pitfalls on the way. Incidentally Miss Tully gives splendid impersonations imperso-nations of Ethel Barrymore, Mrs. Leslie Carter and George M. Cohan. About Miss Tully's playlet a Detroit Free Press critic recently gave the following opinion: "The wise and wary have long since grown skeptical of the press agent's advance rhapsodies. This time, his praise for Miss Tully was only a faint shadow of the truth." The Olivottis, musicians of the wandering minstrel sort, arc a couple cou-ple to whom patrons of artistic inclination in-clination will probably give the heartiest recognition. The violinist of the duo is an artist of great reputation rep-utation in the famous music halls of Europe, and his accompanist on the harp-guitar is of equal talent and ability. The entire English colony of Salt Lake are due to turn out en masse to hear Lillian Shaw, vocal dialect . comedienne, have fun with the orchestra or-chestra and gallery in enquiring in verse the whereabouts of her Henry Brown. She also has a Yiddish and Italian song that are equally as good. 1 Jonny Johns, " the little man in 1 black," has a black-face stunt with 1 a white setting as far as the clothes ll go. He sings and gets off some new K local gags for the delectation of the I Orphcum clicntcllc. Mark Sullivan, mimic monologuist, M is an entertainer whose mission in life is to draw a good salary for making mak-ing people laugh. Norton, magician, has some good mystifying stunts up his sleeve which will set all the wise guys in town telling tel-ling just how it it is done. The ever popular Kinodromc will unreel a thousand feet of the latest Weihe's orchestra will see that the Weigh's orchestra will sec that the music end of the program is not overlooked. |
