Show THE ARGUS. 7 the Ward & Vokes Company in A Run on the Bank, which will be given at the Salt Lake Theater for two nights and a matinee, beginning Friday, April 23rd. This is the third year of Ward and Vokes as stars, and the success which has attended them along all the line during the present season speaks volumes for the impression made during their other two seasons. The company is an unusually large one for musical farce, of the best people known numbering twenty-sito this popular style of amusement. As Percy and Harold, Ward and Yokes have been seen many times all over the country. They, like Donnelly and Girard, Evans and Hcey, Hallen and Hart, Henry Dixey and many other popular favorites, are graduates from the vaudeville stage; and A Run on the Bank, the vehicle for the large fund of specialties, music and fun which they carry may be said to be but an elaboration of the specialty of Percy and Harold, which made Messrs. Ward and Vokes famous as f unmakers. From this it must not be derived that the Percy and Harold idea has been stretched from half an hour to three hours. Ward and Yokes are surrounded by clever people and do not by any means attempt to give the entire show. Every one is able to entertain individually and has every chance to do so. The result is a bright, clean bill of excellent specialty A Run work, bound together under the title cf on the Bank. x This afternoon and evening Our Little Cinderella Com- Cinderella. pany from the California Theater, San Francisco, will be seen at the Salt Lake Theater in Cinderella. It is performed entirely by children and is given in a handsome manner. There are fifty little tots in the cast and the costuming and staging is said to be very pretty. There will probably be a house full of delighted children at both performances and the little ones will never cease to talk of the little coach and ponies and the grand transformation scene. rhiiiren in Drw Good houms. Opinion has been divided this week Potter of on the play at the Grand, Texas. By some it has been praised and enjoyed, by others it has been thought rather dull and uninteresting. Still good houses have greeted it at nearly every performance and from indications the matinee this afternoon will be jammed, as usual, and performance Potter of go to a big house. To my mind Texas, while evolved from a particularly interesting novel, drags a weary length through five long acts and four long waits. It gives little opportunity for any one in the play except the actoi in the title role. Mr. Hatch plays Potter, with vim, humor and origthe Anglo-Texainality. It is the best thing he has done so tar and he has made a decided hit in it. Miss Bateman has little opportunity as Lady Annerly but she takes advantage of every situation and gets out of it all there is in it. Mr. Edwards, as Ralph Enroll, and Mr. Kyle, as Lord Lincoln, have conventional parts calling for very little action. Miss Izette, as Ida Potter, plays tne daughter of the Texan with dash and spirit. Mr. Ford does not make much of a stage lover, while Mr. Blake-mor- e makes much of everything he is in, and Snapper well Snapper is more interesting than some actors we could mention.
