Show Additional Dramatics Orpheum. Next week the Orpheum will present the following promising program : Frederick Bond & Fremont Benton, The Four Fords, Hayes J & Johnson, Kecley Bros., Incs & Taki, Noblctte & Marshall, the Kinodromc and Orpheum Orchestra. It is said of "Handkerchief Number Fifteen," which is the title of a laughable farce presented by Frederick Bond & Fremont Benton Co.. that it is one of the funniest one-act comedies ever seen in vaudeville! Mr. Bond is a comedian of note, having filled engagements with a number of the best companies on the American stage and Miss Benton Ben-ton is an artist of renown-, having, for several seasons, been featured in the Shubert musical comedies. She is today considered one of the most promising American comediennes. This will be the headline act. The Four Fords come heralded as the world's greatest dancing quartette. The public and the critics have been loud and earnest in L praising the agility and art of these people. They are four real t v brothers and sisters and are all young, the two girls, Deborah and 'l 'I Mabel being 18 and 19 respectively, and the boys 22 and 23. This quartette have a number of entirely new steps and their, wooden shoe 1 dancing is said to be a revelation. They carry with them a false W floor made of lignum-vitae (whatever that is) which covers a surface of 6x25 feet and their dancing is in this manner made much more effective. Hayes & Johnson present an amusing oddity entitled "Dreams of Childhood," in which they perform some exceedingly clever and high class child impersonations. Those who enjoy seeing perfection in the science of physical culture cul-ture will be more than satisfied with the act of the Kcelcy Brothers. This duo are reported to be the most expert bag punchers and boxers in America. They have practically reached the pinnacle of perfection in these particular lines, while everything else they do is also done with finish and skill. Their act is made more complete by the use of a very effective set of apparatus which is in itself amusing and interesting. inter-esting. ! A unique musical act will be presented by Ines & Taki, a couple of Italian musicians who are making their first American tour this season. Both arc vocalists as well as instrumental soloists. Miss lues possesses a remarkably beautiful soprano voice of splendid quality, while Mr. Taki is the possessor of so extraordinary a voice that many European critics have compared its strength and resonance with that of a church organ. Besides giving a highly interesting musical act the comedy work of this pair is well worth while. A bright and tuneful melange of chatter and song called "Hints in Soldiery," will be the offering of Noblctte and Marshall. The dialogue dia-logue of this act is clever while all the songs are new and were written writ-ten specially for this team. Both performers are talented and experienced, experi-enced, having been associated with a number of the best musical comedies in the East. The Kinodromc will give its usual popular performance and the orchestra selections will round out a bill that seems to possess all the elements required to make a very popular' program. Margaret Illington, who started on a tour of the West on Tune 15th, closed her engagement in Denver last week in "The Thief," the , play which has been lauded to the skies in every city in which it has I been produced. 1 i. A Salt Lake trick bicycle rider has broken into vaudeville. Bud ' Gray is his name, and he is the same boy who used to do stunts on the Salt Palace saucer that, it is safe to say, none of the regular vaudeville performers would think of attempting. Bud has a partner, named Peters, and they have a turn which is said to eclipse anything ever presented on the stage by trick bicycle riders. Those who have seen Bud Gray perform in this city can easily believe that statement. They have been signed for a ten week's engagement in the East, and later on it is possible that Bud and his partner will be seen at the Orpheum. Preparations for the Eisteduiod to be held in Salt Lake City the first of October continue with the indication that it will be the most successful affair of the kind ever held. From all over the country come the reports that the best singers of the different sections are to bc present and contest for the prizes. The large mixed chorus which has been organized in this city for competing in the Eisteddfod has begun rehearsals. M. J. Brines is to give a song recital on September 20th, being assisted by his talented wife, who is a pianist of ability. This will be Mr. Brines first appearance in song recital since coming to Salt Lake. |
