Show I AMUSEMENTS' HI Thoso who failed to see "Parsifal' Hj last season when It was here should H ' not miss the opportunity of going thit H time. And thoso who did see it last H season sliould go again. It is one ol H thoso strango masterpieces of the H stage which not only excites pro 11 1- H able controversy, but opens wide av- H enucs of meditation as well. H According to tho point of view "Par- Hl slfal",is allegorical, ethical, historical- lf ly religious or religiously historical, with all tho lights and shades of spec- H ulativo meaning woven into the story. H It has excited both tho favor and H disfavor of the preacher, tho laymen ' H and writers who delight in dissecting H lltcraturo with tho joy of lettered sur- H gery. H anything which can so generally en- H gage attention is out of the ordinary H and there Is nothing ordinary about "Parsifal." H "Parsifal," in English, will be pre- B seiuuu ac me bait l.ukc theatre at the 1 matmeu today and performance to- i1 night. M Go and see If you can pluck out the H heart of tho mystery which haunted H tho masterful brain of Richard Wag- H Who knows, but what you, gentlo H reader, may win tho guessing prize. H & I M When the curtain ran? up at the Or- H pheum Monday night, over half the numbers on tho program were "shy. i M While Manager Jennings was making H his knees soro praying for tho arrival of belated trains, George Carpenter M was here, thcro and elsewhere trying M to round up local talent to supply the B missing stunts on the show-bill. l George made a night ride in a cab H that was as exciting as Sheridan's M and as rapid as Paul Hevere's. With H that peculiar futility which so often H accompanies great speed, the faster B Gcorgo tried to do things the greater M becamo tho number of obstacles. How- W ever, Gcorgo Carpenter's wild ride W through tho night was successful at m least partially. At the point of much m porsuaslon ho forced Charles Kent to M accompany him to tho Orpheum. In M the meantime Manager Jennings kept M repeating his prayers with increasing M fervor. Whether ns a result of deter- M mined supplication or through a hap- M py coincidence, tho belated trains ar- M rived relieving Jennings from further m anxiety.

M In this act Clara Stevens and Adcllna H Roattine do somo singing and danc- B ing well worth while Not LoRoy and M Minnie Woodford talk back "to each B other" in a dialogue act which is win- B nlng hearty applause. Tho "School I Boys and Girls" aro about tho llvo- Hfl llest bunch that ever kept the Board of Education working overtime. They appear in a musical comedy which for HI merry joy with school house trlm- M mlngs is something that willjmako M our "school ma'ams" sit up and tako M notice. Tho Orpheum this week ccr- M talnly offers, a big sack of vaudeville ( M candy for your-ticket money. " m Business during tho week at the I Lyric has been good. The play "Her Bitter Atonement" brought out the dramatic talent of tho stock company better than any previous production. Fred Moore, Pearl Ethier and Mayme Moran should be especially mentioned men-tioned for tho favorable comment they received from tho audience Btttner's interpretation of tho old-fashioned old-fashioned Justico of the peace was a bit of clever, winning acting. Every dramatic ounce of Blttner's avoirdupois avoirdu-pois and it is generous carried the actor through his part in a manner that won tho house. Every citizen of Utah every lover of song music should bo proud of Nnnnlo Tout. Her Wagnerian recital at tho Tabernacle, was, from the standpoint of classical music, a most amibtlous undertaking, but in every number Miss Tout more than realized no fond expectation of her admirers. i he Tabernacle choir and tho work of Prof. McClellan on the great organ were also a feature of the Tout concert. con-cert.

It is an orglnal comedy pantomime act wherein not a singlo word is spoken. For over twenty minutes min-utes this act holds tho boards and dur-Ing dur-Ing twenty minutes twice each day tho packed audience at tho Los Angeles An-geles Orpheum has laughed itself into in-to hysterics. The act Is called "Tho Elopement" and Is presented by the Zazell and Vernon company. In modernized mod-ernized forms there are presented tho old long-lost friends of one's youth: Harlequin, Pantaloon and tho Clown with a slender skirted Columbine.
