U SO THIS IS LONDON, COMING TO THE SALT LAKE THEATRE Stars of the Yellow Jacket and Other Fa- Mr. and Mrs. Coburn mous Plays to Appear. and Mrs. Coburn, whose last appearance here was in that charming play, The Yellow Jacket, will be seen at the alt Lake Theatre next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, as principal players in George M. Cohans production of So This is London, the Mr. hit of the year in America and England. It will be recalled that the edy Coburns owned, produced and played in The Better Ole, a play which during the war was a positive sensation. The Coburns themselves presented it in New York City for a run that lasted fully a year, and at one time they had as many as five different companies presenting it all over the United States. Previous to The Yellow Jacket, the Coburns were best known as Shakespearean actors and were among the first in America to give Al Fresco" performances of the bards plays and the Elizabethan drama, that were best suited for outdoor presentations. They have staged productions at practically all the leading colleges throughout America, with' notable success. It is generally supposed that the Coburns are English, but this is not so, although both of them have played long engagements in London. They are Americans, Mr. Coburn having been bora in Cacon, Georgia, and Mrs. Coburn in a small town in the State of Missouri. Their Success. In billing themselves in their own productions or when playing under other management, the pair always insist that they should be known simply as Mr. and Mrs. Coburn, rather unusual in these days, since for some reason or other, actors, or at least their managers, seem to think that marriage lessens the commercial value of artists. It was not thought so some years ago and many old timers will recall the popularity of such successful players as Mr. and Mrs. Kendall, and Mr. and Mrs. Florence, who always billed themselves in just that way. out-doo- r Q WHY KISSING IS NO SIN.
