Show I I HH AMUSEMENTS Hf I H Salt Lako Theatre: "Captain Do- bonnalrc," matlnop today, performance tonight. OrpUoum. Modern Vaudovlllo, mat-lnco mat-lnco today, performance' tonight.' H Lyric Theatre "Yankou Doodle, 1 Qlrls" one week beginning with. t6- fl day's matinee. H Next week's bill at the Orpheum bears tlio 18-carot stamp of high-class vaudovlllo and embraces a pot-pourri fl of good things calculated to tickle the most jaded palate. Tho bill is headed by Beatrice MeKenzlo supported by Walter Shannon and Harry L. DIckln- 1 son In tho sketch by Low N. Nawcomb entitled, "A Mountain Beaut." Tho story Is a good one and deals with a belle of the West who falls In love with a Baltlmoro stockbroker. Tho next attraction, in point of salary paid, H is that of Happy, Jack Gardner who H undoubtedly will mako a hit. Jack fl Is not only a musician of no mean or- dcr but is also a singer of nbsurd parodies and a tollpr of talcs with a laugh tucked away In oyery one of H them. For tho children, nnd the grown- tips, too, Mndamo Emmy and Her Pets H will afford diversion. She travels with 1 half a carload of trained animals that H aro among the best in the business. H Then there will be tho Dietrich Bro- thers, thrco muscular fellows who can H lift anything from a mortgage to a couple .of tons of Junk; they are said H to bo among tho topriotchers In their lino on tho stage. Band and Byron will occupy nttentlon for 20 minutes with an acrobatic absudity which is labelled "Rooms to Lot," whllo Dacoy H and Adair have a sketch, "The Irish H Uncle's Visit," that is a screamer. Prof. Welho's orchestra also aro re-H re-H hearsing some new selections for next H week among them being Black JDoml- H no by Aubor and a, descriptive piece by Barthol which is called tho Mouse-H Mouse-H trp., Tho Klnodromo will present some good motion, picturo dramas. H The Orpheum . management nn- H nounccs that .for- tho week of March ID, H a high-priced., nttrnctlon. has beep se- H cured In Mlgnonotto Kokln, chantcuso H ot danseu'so eccontrtffuoT " ' v at H The mntinco girls will come into H their own today when that gay, young H spark, "Captain Debonnairo," is Intro- H ducod by Paul Gllmoro, Tho "Captain" H is just tho hind of reckless, rolicklng H good follow, to manppolizo.aU the sym- pathy ot tho fair ones ho courts daii-ger daii-ger for the loyo of it and, lileo Charles Brandon, tho flower df knighthood, Captain Debonnairo walks tho primal prim-al roso path of romance Is not this enough for tho flutter of heart of the theatre maid? Paul Gllmoro always did stand iipon tho highest of. matinee . pedestals. "With "Captain Debonnairo" thcro is a tlp-tocing into still loftier favor. Tho scenes of tho play aro in French Canada and Dutch New York a pleasing enough concession to 1 stago geography at tho tlmo when the French-American breathed romance nnd the Hollanders of New Amstcr-dnm Amstcr-dnm hid their sturdy sinews' beneath frills and furbelows a play which' sings tho song oi tho sword and tho whirring rapier. None- but tho number of grand-stand plays in "Captain Do-bonnalro." Do-bonnalro." No hero comes more fre-fl fre-fl quently to his heroic roward than fl "Captain Debonnairo." His cars aro fl attuned to tho music of tho gallery applauso and tho gloved hysteria of fl admiring girlhood. Paul Gllmoro fills nil tho poirip nnd circumstnnco of this delightfully impossible romanco, with nn actor's Ideal of careless, graceful, fearless youth a youth willing and H ready to fight ovory sword that flashes between him and his lady love. "Cap tain Debonnairo" will close Its engagement engage-ment with tho matinee today and performance per-formance . tonight.. ;-" . - During the weok tho "Bohemian Bu'rjesquers" gavo tho Lyric patrons a sail around the coasts of gay Bohemia. Bohe-mia. If manager Bistes were to exhibit his tally-sheets for tho past few vrrs, they would show the depth to hlcli tho Orpheum Idea has struck Us root Into tho amusement soil of tho Salt Lako garden. Not only has tho Orpheum Or-pheum n local army ot regular patrons, to which new recruits ore being added with every performance, but. nearly every tourist to the city finds his way over to tho Orpheum, knowing the high class merit of the shows In the other houses of tho circuit. Manager Bistes has been playing aces for some tlmo and four aces in nn Orpheum hand is a winner. They're off again at tho State street house this week but they don't all reach tho wire at the same tlmo. The great Lo Pages, or rather tho great Le Pago, in his Jumping specialty, makes tho skeptics sit and rub their eyes. Ho takes a run and jump, actually actu-ally stops in mid air and jumps again with actually no support for tho second sec-ond jump. It Is as If an apple were to drop from n tree and remained suspended sus-pended a moment before dropping to tho ground. Of courso Newton, who studied gravitation In an orchard, would have denied tho possibility of tho applo acting ns described and so would I before I saw LoPage hovering over a bnBket of eggs before flying over them. Tho learned will say It is nothing noth-ing but muscular contraction. Perhaps so. But, just the same, tho trick is so cleverly done that LePage can always tako first money with his astonishing trick. Tho Fernnnde May trio from Paroo oul! oul do some interesting playing on various instruments and tear paper into beautiful designs. Thomas J. Keogh and Company is the corpornto announcement for Miss Francis and and Mr. Keogh in a sketch entitled "Tho Way Ho Won Her." Mr. Keogh does some good character work in this playlet. Bonnie Gaylor, tlie girl from Posey county, is far, far from homo nnd so young, too! But nobody will steal you, Bonnie out hero in the wild nnd woolly, the prldo of Posey county is quite safe. A pretty composlto picture of twin girls, cither of whom could bo the other, nro tho Dlonno slters. Talk about tho double cherry well that's 'em, all right. And they play tho .mandolins .man-dolins as If Apollos own hair were stretched across tho Instruments. Fred and Annie Polot fall to enthuse with clownish juggling not tho juggling Itsolf, but tho silly nctlng.foollshly In-jected In-jected Into tho stunt. Prof. Wolhe, in tho mid-overture, npplles tho musical birch with such authority as to merit tho applause which every night greets this musical Innovation. Tho Orpheum bill this week Is a good investment for your money. March Cth a grand revival of that well known drama, Damon and Pythias, Py-thias, will bo given at tho Salt Lake theatre. John Milton under whoso direction di-rection the play will bo given, will be seen in the rolo of Damon. HARRY LE GRANDE. |
