Every act has unusual merit and are interpolated with song, dance, piano and novelty features highly appreciated by the people. Lupino Lane in My Hero makes his second appearance here in one of the most daring and thrilling pictures ever seen. Lane has no fear of danger and but for the fact that he surpasses the monkey for nimbleness he would be dashed to pieces many times in producing his aerial and climbing stunts. "The Sin Flood is a motion picture which could easily be entitled An honest confession is good for the soul. This picture shows how certain individuals tried to manipulate the cotton market to their own interests, the building of inferior public wrorks where inspectors are bribed; a flood caused by swollen rivers through heavy rains wrhich threatens the destruction of a whole city, and finally a basement lunch room and saloon in which the cotton manipulators, Billy, who is to be married that day, his former sweetheart, a preacher, a broken down actor and engineer and a street loafer are trapped by the flood waters. As the flood waters come rushing through the doors and windows, they are closed. The engineer figures that the party trapped have six hours to live. The preacher ;only ' predicts the end of the world and prepares all for death. They all confess to their wrong doings. Candles were used for light and as the flames began rto dwindle showing that the oxegen in the room was nearly exhausted those inside became exasperated and all finally decide to open the door and let the water end their misery. The cast is made up of prominent actors and the characters represented are: Billy Bear by Richard Dix; Poppy, Helene Chadwick; ONeill, James Kirkwood; Swift, John Steppling; Frazier, Ralph Lewis; Sharpe, Howard Davies; Stratton, Will Walling; Nord-linWilliam Orlamond; Charlie, Darwin Karr; Higgins, Otto Hoffman; Levee Louie, L. H. King; Priscilla Swift, Gertrude Astor. Henlng Berger is the author and Frank Lloyd is the director. Ruth Budd perhaps won the highest favor in The Girl With the Smile, with Billy Colligan at the piano. Her accomplishments are diverse, yet unusual. At once the shapely and fearless aerial artist, and the sweet, charming singing maiden, she was greeted with the applause of the evening. The Carlson sisters in A Bit of Broadway met with favor for their novel songs and dances, attractive der the hand of their trainer. A formance with chimes was the standing feature of this act. perout- COMING TO PANTAGES. Coming for next weeks show, Manager Diamond of the Pantages has secured Maude Leone in a sketch called Shoes. Maude Leone was formerly the wife of Willard Mack and the two were great local favorites for several years, and it was really here where both made of themselves stars of the stage. The people will be pleased to see Leone again. Other features will be the Hanneford family in Poodles; Warden and Perry; White and Berry, and the San Diego trio. , . ! 1 ; g, POOR MEN'S WIVES FRED STONE DUPLICATES BUFFALO BILLS TRICKS York Company Will Present Tip Top at the Salt Lake Theatre. New A stately figure with flowing white hair, a buckskin jacket and a white sombrero, mounted on an white horse, swept around the arena of the Wild West show amid cheers of applause.

Watching him was Fred Stone, now the popular star of even-gaite- d . r, Tip Top. Gee, said Stone to Arthur Houghton, then and now manager of the Fred Stone company, who sat with him, that would be a great idea for . the theatre. Except, said Houghton, the theatre roof would not shed much rain the first week, and you would have to shoot from under an iron umbrella to protect yourself from falling shot. All this happened ten years ago, but it was the germ of the idea for Stones marksmanship tricks in Tip Top, the first wing shooting that has been attempted in the narrow confines of a stage. Buffalo Bills shooting tricks were merely trapshooting feats adapted for a certain use. Trapshooters use a shotgun which throws fifty or more bits of lead over a circular area, perhaps ten feet in diameter. Any single shot will break the target. The usual shooting distance is twenty yards In Tip Top. Stone forced to cut down the range, uses a rifle, instead of a shotgun. The rifle carries a single bullet, so each shot is either a clean hit or a clean miss. Stone dances continually while shooting at the targets, tossed into the air by an assistant. Another handicap is the shooting by artificial light, which in spite of the brilliance possible with modern lighting equipment, remains more tricky than ever subdued daylight! Stones record for the first 200 performances of Tip Top was 1,931 breaks In 2,000 attempts (ten targets a performance) and is probably the most remarkable indoor shooting record ever established. V FILM AT AMERICAN THEATRE Famous Gasnler Products Most Thrilling Motion Picture Masterpiece on Exhibition. How L. J. Gasnier, the noted motion picture director, made Poor Mens Wives, the companion subject to Rich Mens Wives, which was so successfully featured at the American theatre a few weeks ago, forms a story of devotion to duty which is an interL esting part of his character. Poor Mens Wives, the American attraction for the week, starting on Sunday, contains many lavish scenes which call for hundreds of picture players. After selecting his cast for the production Gasnier began work. At the end of the first day thousands of feet of film had been used. Gasnier was not satisfied with the most of what had been taken and started the whole scene over again the next day. Enthusiastic. af-.t- er For one week he worked on the scene. While the players had many chances to rest, he was on duty continually, using his megaphone, illustrating points by acting them himself, cheering up tired extras. Finally he began showing signs of weakness. His physician ordered him to rest. Not until the production is finished, he said. It is going to be a great work. A severe cold on his lungs developed. He was threatened with pneumonia. But still he worked, night and day.
