Show THE CITIZEN 8 With the First Nighters EDDIE FOY AND FAMILY BIG ORPHEUM ATTRACTION. Eddie Foy and his six husky children are spreading the gospel of happiness over the nation. This week they are industrially engaged in prestunt to senting their happy-famil- y Salt Lake Orpheum fans. Eddie, the elder, is still able to amble about much as of yore, even though he admits to being some years along on the seamy side of the footlights. But he has imparted much of his natural strain of wit and humor to his offspring and they get along quite nicely, thank you, under the supervision of the effervescent Eddie. Time has not laid a heavy hand on the older Eddie no, not so heavy but that he can still caper and attempt a song or two, which his oldest son mimicks to perfection. All the Foy family are stars, but perhaps Eddie the younger and the litle Miss Mary and sister Madeline, are the particular shining lights. The Foy girls sing well and dance like sprites while the boys are clever in all they attempt. Real votaries and exemplars, of the art terpsichore, are Johnny Muldoon and Pearl Franklyn. They present a swift and pleasing fantasy of steps gliding from the ludicrous bowery, slambang semi-j- u jitsu dance to the rhythmic and enchanting sway of the modern dansante. Lew Rr.se, singing the announcements in well modulated tenor, is also a feature par-excellen- ce synchronizes her personal beauty with famous pictures of history and of the Muses, she obtains striking effects. The show opens with a real thrilling aerial act by Blanche Sherwood and brother, who exemplify what they choose to term Aviating Antics in a most vivid and startling manner. The Pathe Weekly news pictures are exceptionally interesting and the orchestra has a fine program on tap. The whole show pleases immensely. WILARD MACK HEADLINES CLEVER PANTAGES BILL. Willard Mack, with Mrs. Mack, are the big headliners at the Pantages this week. Mack has come back to Salt Lake bringing a handsome wife and a most cleverly staged skit entitled Second Sight. Some who witnessed the first performance last Wednesday afternoon were blase enough to assert that it was really Willard's fourth sight and not the second. Anyhow it is is a bit of fine stage stuffff, cleverly woven around a popular theme stealing a mans wife, breaking up a happy home and the two Mack artists handle it with a plenitude of technique and amazing realism. The Night Boat, by Miss Hazel Hickey and company, is another headliner act worthy of every consideration of the Pan fans. The playlet is presented in two scenes, each a revela tion in its way. The plot is simple, but intensely interesting, and permits of the introduction of plenty of wholesome comedy as well as some fine legitimate acting. Violet Carlson, billed as The Mite-- y Prima Donna, is a close contestant for the headline honors. Miss Carlson, who is gifted as a comedienne, is . a vocalist of great ability. In the language of the stage, her act stopped the show last night Miss Carlson was accorded a generous amount of applause at the close of her presentation. Billy Pedrick and Ruby de Vere, in smart tunes and dance originalities, have a pleasing act The scenery is not unusual, but expresses the utmost in the fulfillment of the desire to make the act pleasing. Pedrick has a pleasing voice and his numbers are exceptionally well chosen. Vaudevilles prettiest offering, seems tot be the proper way of describing the act presented by Mile. La Toy. A number of trained dogs are features of the act. Several poses in a frame, suggesting a picture, are splendid, net only in their artistic beauties, but also because the canines are trained to almost unbelievable steadiness w'hile the curtain is aloft. Foster and Ray, in- - After Diner, comhave a regular up-t- th edy skit. Foster also features the act with a pleasing voice. . Bits of Life, a production, is an inn presentations.
