Show I J' gjgAMUSEMENTSlJi M A fairly good actor upon tho stago H may bo moro than a fairly bad actor HJ when boyond tho flaro of tho foot- HI lights. This has been demonstrated Hj In Salt Lako recently in fact it was HJ a three hundred dollar demonstration HJ and quite convincing. H Tho Orphcum is still keeping up tho HI fast paco set at tho beginning of tho HI s6ason. While thcro is no startling H feature, as thcro was last week, the HJ general average of tho program is HI good. Tho rough-houso comedians, tho HI Camillo trio, do somo whirlwind H stunts on tho horizontal bars. If HJ their salary is in proportion to tho Hi number of falls they sustain John D. HJ must sign tho pay checks. Something H which appeals to tho Intelligence of HI tho audienco is tho instinctively on- tertaining illustrated lecture, "Talcs Hi of tho Desert." Thoro aro undreamed HJ beauties in tho desert heart of Arizo- HJ na tho land that God forgot and Hi p'coplo aro just awaking to its glories. HI It is worth tho prlco of an Orphcum Hi ticket to make this Intelligent excur- HJ sion through tho "glory lands" of HI Arizona. Qcorgo Yeoman is on tho Hi program as an eccentric comedian ho Bfl is moro eccentric than funny. In his Hi speech Gcorgo injects a stream of at- Hi tcnuated German which becomes still Hi weaker when tho comedian attompts Hi to vocalize. Kolly and Kent are per- Hi slstently mirth provoking tho chron- Hi lo laugher they drlvo Into convulsive Hi hysteria. The team do a Cherry hill Hi dancing stunt which carries tho fame H of tho Bowery to Conoy island. Talk HJ about waltzing! Go and seo Kelly and HJ Kent Thoy aro tho ball-room candy. HJ If it wore not for tho fascinating llt- H tie follow with tho taking voico, "Bor- H nico and Boy" would bo a woak num- Hj ber on tho program. If ono likes Hi comedy with rapid flro action and sit- HJ uations that como and go furiously HJ wo know not whence or whither1 Wll- HJ ford Clarko Is thero with tho Gatling Hb gun movement. Miss Carow, Mr. Gil- H lies and Miss Do Mott aro so cleverly Hi involved In tho conspiracy with Mr. H Clarko that tho entiro company should Hi bo indicted for inciting to riotous Hb laughter. H Prof. Wclho and his excellent or- H chestra are winning green musical HJ laurels this week, as thoy havo from Hb tho opening night. . M Notwithstanding tho eccentric do- HJ parture of Herschel Mayall and tho H mystifying disappearanco of Edna HJ Elismero, the fortunes of tho now I Lyric stock company will not suffer. Hi Everything is ready for tho dramatic HJ campaign to bo Inaugurated on lower HJ Main street. Tho Lyric from being HJ the homo of burlesque will become tho HJ home of drama, a chango of theatric HJ policy expected to inflato tho box-of-HJ HJ Georgia Harper has run tho gamut HJ since opening her engagement at the M Grand. It isn't every actress who at- Hb tempts to dally with standard, emo- HJ tional and melodramatic palys. But M tho intrepid Miss Harper has shown M bravery in attempting attempting, M mind you a series of dramas, that 1 would frighten less couragous act- H rcsses. . J J M "Tho Old Bedstead," a rural classic. written by those past masters of hay- H fever sketches. Messrs. Young and H Whitney, will not bo offered to Charles fl Froman for reproduction at tho Em- H piro theatre. The play being tho ex- elusive property of tho Salt Lako H Press club, It has been decided that this city, and this city only, shall bo given tho excluslvo privilege of witnessing wit-nessing tho drama. This determination determina-tion on tho part of tho Press club is regarded, by eastern managers, as extremely ex-tremely selfish. Tho Press club admits ad-mits tho imputation. But tho tacit moral obligation between tho Press club and tho clamorous public of Salt Lako, whereby all provious efforts by tho club havo been regarded as tho exclusive ex-clusive privliogo of local ticket buyers, buy-ers, prevents "Tho Old Bedstead" from boing displayed In any furniture house outside of Zion. During tho week tho Press club declined de-clined requests In tho following wireless wire-less telegrams: "Salt Lako Press Club, Salt Lako City, Utah. Can arrange six months engagement "Tho Old Bedstead" at MISS THEO CAREW Who Supports Wilfred Clarke at the Orpheum Next Week Empire. Guarantee six hundred slats per week. Aro you wise? Answer quick. Charles G. Froman." Tho creamiest peach in tho basket, however, comes from Richard Mansfield Mans-field who is always pursuing a good thing: "George E. Carpenter, Care Press Club, Salt Lako City, Utah. Will play "Tho Old Bedstead" next season if royalty satisfactorily arranged. "Old Bedstead" sounds good. Am tired of "Ivan" and "Don Carlos." Want something to sleep In. Wire on receipt. R. Mansfield." And so tho list might bo extended but what's the use. "Tho Old Bedstead" Bed-stead" is for Salt Lakers only. Noxt Thursday isn't far off September Cth when the curtain of tho Salt Lako theatre will rise on this muchly discussed, dis-cussed, muchly sought for, drama. HARRY LE GRANDE. |
