Show "THE SQUAW MAN." "The Squaw Man," the four-act drama by Edwin Milton Roylc in which William Favcrsham will ap-0 pear at the Salt Lake theatre for three nights and Saturday matinee opening Thursday, November 14, is the strongest American drama yet produced. That has been the verdict ver-dict of the press wherever the play has been seen. The intense dramatic interest of the play, the novelty and originalty of many of the situations, the vigor and simplicity of the language, lan-guage, the powerful delineation of the characters some of which arc new to the stage are points that j critics agree upon. Mr. Favcrsham himself has a role that fits him like a glove whether he wears the red jacket of the British army officer, as he does in the first act, or the buckskin buck-skin breeches and flannel shirt of the cowboy as he does in the other three. Many theatre goers are accustomed to associate Mr. Favcrsham with the dress clothes of the modern drama, but in this play he proves that he is capable of much better things and at the same time he loses not of the romance that has made him a favorite fav-orite with the matinee girl. Liebcr and Co., have given the. play a remarkable stage setting, remarkable re-markable even today when managers are rivaling one another in the elaborateness ela-borateness of their productions. The scene for the second act a typical frontier saloon frequented by cowboys, cow-boys, gamblers and desperadoes in Eastern Utah is an extraordinary example of scenic art and one that never fails to arouse the enthusiastic enthusias-tic applause of the audience. And the others are only less interesting because they arc more familiar. |
