Show STORY OF AN OLD MAN'S LOVE The story of an old man's love for a charming young girl is an old one, and the supremacy of youth over age, is also familiar, but the manner in whicli the author of "Our Bitterest Foe" has combined the story, of youth, love and intrigue, is said to be about the cleverest playlet offering now in vaudeville. Harrison King and company will present "Our Bitterest Bit-terest Foe" as1 a leading attraction this coining week at the Orphcum theatre and come with all manner of flattering expressions of praise from the press of other cities, both as to the merit of their sketch and their capabilities' as players. The great Franco-Prussian war furnishes a theme for the sketch, the scenes of which are laid in a little picturesque village of northern France. Handsome Hand-some scenic equipment is carried for the staging of "Our Bitterest Foe." and 'this is 'abetted by some splendid costuming and lighting effects, which with the line quality of acting, combine com-bine to make it a real vaudeville event. Harrison King, a dramatic star of considerable note will be seen as, General Von Rostnburg, a Prussian' Prus-sian' commander. Miss Mabel Florence, Flor-ence, who js not unknown to Salt Lake theatre goers as an actress of ability has the role of dashing Blanche d' Eyran, and Harry Wilson portrays Henri dc la Fere, a lieutenant lieuten-ant of tlc French army, who passes the Prussian lines in the disguise of a' French peasant, Second on the new bill comes talented tal-ented Bert Levy, a poular New York -j artist who entertains with character- M izations of famous men and famous H events. M For the good old-fashioned slap- M stick rough house comedy acrobatic M work the three Flood brothers about H fill the bill as merry-makers.. Thcir's H is the laugh-catching act and that is why they arc on the bill. H lu Yuma, Europe's greatest sensa- H tiou, Salt Lake will sec an acf regard- H ing which more bets will be given and H taken than have been placed since H election. That a man clad in the fill) H uniform of a German huzzar, includ- H ing breast-plate and steel helmet, M making the distance of 7 ft. one inch H from the floor to the top of the eagle's head that surmounts his head- H gear, can tuck himself away in a box H 12 inches long, 16 inches high and 14 H inches wide is apparently a physical H impossibility. The act is a puzzler H and keeps the audience guessing from H the start. It concludes with some of H the wicrdest contortion wprk perhaps ever seen in Salt Lake. ' H Harry Ilcdrix and Ada Prescott H are high class exponents of soft and H wooden shoe dancing and in this ca- H pacity arc destined to set the toes H of all "in front" tingling time with the orchestra. H The musical offering coincs in the H form of one of the best banjo teams H the public in the persons of M,r. and H Mrs. F. J. Bacon why have (Jescrtcd the concert platform for vaudeville, H not because high variety is their goal , H but because the Orphcum circuit . m? gement has the happy knacky of J recognizing talent and being willing ' I to nay for it to boot. ' I Then 'there, will be the Kinodrome, of course, with some good motion pictures. 1 -fiiflMflgiariHBHj |
