The idea of giving Chaplin a serious role to burlesque is a happy one. The story offers many rich opportunities for If you don't believe it just go down- to the Orpheum Wednesday, May 31, or any one of the ensuing seven days and you'll find yourself gripping your sides and laughing your head off with hundreds of other photoplay patrons. This film is making a lot of exhibitors all over the country a lot of money. It is Just released and therefore lias never been seen here. Nearn ly everyone has read the story of or seen the opera or Theda liara or Geraldine Farrar in their versions of Carmen of the films. Yet It remained for Chaplin to burlesque it. Who is there that would not jump at the chance to see tills king of slapstick humor burlesquing the sublime Carmen? A higher degree of burlesque could hardly be arrived at. Much interest has been occasioned by announcements that the Chaplin burlesque of Carmen was coming to the Orpheum and many inquiries have been received at the Orpheum ticket "A Midsummer Night's Dream.' window.

Few productions of the university have attracted more interest because of the' personnel of the cast. Among thesbest known of the members is' Miss Lila Eccles of Ogden, who has just returned from two years of study at the American. Academy of Dramatic Arts In City, where she won signal success in her production at the Lyceum theatre. Since her return .to Utah, Miss Eccles has toured the state in a repertory of plays. Miss Iiccles plays Hermia In "Midsummer Night's Dream." Miss Lucile Rogers, who was a member of the Utah theatre stock company last fall, plays the difficult role of Puck in the Shakespearean comedy. Four years ago she played the same part in the university's first open-ai- r production, and at that time her work received universal commendation. No one in the cast will be received with greater favor than Miss Armorel Dixon, who last fall, with. twenty-fou- r hours' notice assumed the leading role in "Under Cover," which was being presented by the Utah theatre players. The leading lady, Miss Roxanne Lansing, had been released from the cast at the eleventh hour. Miss Dixon had played in .some of t the university's which are premier productionsamong Ibsen's "Pillars of- Society," Harry James Smith's "Mrs. Bumpsteacl-Deigh- " and Shakespeare's '"Twelfth Night." Miss Dixon plays Helena, in "Midsummer Night's Dream.". Four years ago when the initial open-a- ir production of "Midsummer 'Night's Dream" was given. Frank Rasmussen, then an undergraduate, played the part of Bottom, the weaver, one of the most humorous roles in any of Shakespeare's plays. At that time, many critics hailed his as the best Bottom . ever seen in" an amateur production and better than most professionals. Since then he has had additional experience as a member of the Utah theatre stock company and his work is even better than it was at that time. He will in the present proagain play Bottom duction. Others in the cast are Miss Edyth Barlow as Oberon, Miss Thelma Farns-wort- h as Titania, Grcver Giles a3 D. Agnes Boyer as Demetrius. Cecil Wright as Snug, the joiner, and Don Carlos Wood as Peter Quince. The cast includes a fairy chorus of more than fifty young women, who will render the incidental songs and dances.

For Decoration day and Wednesday, Lou Telegen and Theodore Roberts will be the attraction in "The Unknown," and for the balance of the week Blanche Sweet will star in the latest Lasky screen offering, "The Thousand Dollar Husband." "Saints and Sinners," the widely discussed Famous Players screen version of Henry Arthur Jones' s drama, introduces Peggy Hyland, the talented beautiful star, to American photoplay English audiences. In the stellar role of Letty, this English actress making her American debut via the screen on the Paramount program, so distinguishes herself that she is certain to become one of the photoplay favorites. Aside from the interest centered about the addition of this player to the renowned roster of the Famous Players, Importance is attached to this because it is based on great one of photoplay the foremost dramatic and literary successes of the time. The early, scenes of the story take place in thd picturesque village of Steepleford. Here Letty, the role impersonated by Miss Hyland. lives with her father, the Rev. Fletcher, and her spinster housekeeper Lydia. The small family is quite contented with the humble lot, but Letty is a bit happier than all the rest, for George Kingsmill, a young farmer, Is paying her visits very often. Happiness begins to wane with the arrival of Captain Fanshawe, a man of doubtful reputation. Letty is attracted to him by his magnetic personality and forgets all else save him. The minister, observing his daughter often in the company of this rogue, forbids her to see the captain again. Letty obeys her father's wishes. Fanshawe, however, lays plans for the ' near future. His opportunity comes at the church picnic where he extends an invitation to Letty for a row on the river. She willingly accepts as he claims this to be his last day in Steepleford. Like most farewell affairs of this tender nature, the hours fly by quickly, and before Letty can realize the time, the congregation has returned homeward.
