Jewells Mannilins give a three-rincircus act, known as Circus Day in Toyland. John King and Dave Irwin appear in a blackface act, which is a killer and gets the crowd. Lambesti plays himself to popularity on a xylophone and he is given a big encore upon his every appearance. Herb Lloyd entertains with burlesque classic and shows that nonsense can be made artistic. He is a great international comedian. Allen Show, The Famous Money Maker, decides upon how much money he needs and then picks it right out of the air. He is one of the super sleight of hand artists. ' He carefully shows how he does his hardest tricks and when he is through the audience is more at sea than ever. Rekoma, The Gentleman Equilibrist, can place himself in all sorts of shapes. He winds his legs about his body and could easily be called the human snake. g i REKOMA LASHING CUTS ACTRESS THROUGH PADDED SKIRT.

Even when we first rehearsed this scene, said Miss Kerby recently, Helen showed the beginnings of that intensity with which today she lives the part. And I soon realized that, to protect herself, I would have to wear something under my skirts or the lash would cut me to ribbons. So I bad a quilted underskirt made. But I had underestimated Helens intensity., at that. I had to change the design three times before getting the quilting thick enough. Even then the lashes stung. Then came, the night of our opening at the Booth theatre, New. York. The audience rose to that scene. Helen was superb. The critics raved about her the next day. Hey wood Broun declared he wouldnt have given a German mark for Jack Dempseys chances, if he had stood before her at that moment. When Helen came offstage at the fall of the curtain, she was trembling and threw her arms around me and cried, T know I must have hurt you, she sobbed, but I couldnt help it. I was wild. Nana Miss As the absinthe-sodde- n Kerby, plays a difficult role In a fashion that caused one critic in New York to declare it was enough to make anybody foreswear the thought for life. Her muscular jerkings, her facial contortions, make her truly, a hag. and Yet in reality she is sunny-face- d young young, a quiet, woman. On what does she base her characterization? I went to Paris, and through police courtesies gained admission to St. Lazare prison, where I studied absinthe addicts at first hand, she said. There was no place else where the information could be so accurately obtained. And, as I believed in the play and its future,, the trip was worth while, especially as it merely neces- even-mannere- act- ress Wait a minute! That isnt all of it! How would you like to be an actress by III a, How would you like to be an RED 03. The Moroni Olsen players will present You and I at the Salt Lake theatre next Monday evening. It is a play that has never been seen in this city, and is a play which proved an instantaneous success at its premiere at the Belmont theatre in New York in 1923. It is a comedy-dramhaving for its theme the seriousness of a real American life problem, and with the sparkle and flash of wit through its dialogue which makes it popular with all. The story is one who gives up an artists career to marry the girl he loves, and then finds his own son confronted with the same problem of marriage versus a career. Moroni Olsen, Janet Young, Sumner Chase, B. Cobb, Dorothy Adams, Byron Foulger, Leora Thatcher, Joseph Williams, are all playing in the company all of whom are well known here. There will be but one performance and that will be in the evening. yillllllllillllllllfllllllllllllllilMIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIliilllllllllllA I of spiritual exaltation, snatches the whip which in the past has made her , Menken. nun & MORONI OLSEN PLAYERS TO PRESENT YOU AND I. Three Times Marion Kerby, Playing Nana in Seventh Heaven, Changed Quilted Garment, but Failed to Reckon on Intensity of Helen D ted This same show continues every afternoon and evening, changing next Wednesday afternoon. whose role demanded that she be whipped at every performance with a blacksnake whip in the hands of a frenzied girl? Thats something else again. Well, thats the position In which Marion Kerby, playing Nana in Seventh Heaven, which will be seen at the Salt Lake Theatre, February 11, 12, 13 and 14th, finds herself. Of course, In such a situation much depends upon just how frenzied the wielder of the whip becomes. Perhaps she is an actress who doesnt yield herself to the part entirely, in which case she may use discretion in the administration of the lash. Alas! for poor Miss Kerby, the whip is wielded by Helen Menken, and if there is any actress who could do the Simon Legree more whole lieartedly than Helen she is yet to be discovered. Discretion? The idea never enters Miss Menkens head. Miss Kerby plays Nana, an absinthe-sodde- n dweller in the Parisian slums, a fence for thieves, a sort of female Fagin, who drives her Oliver Twist-is- h sister Diane to deeds of crime by the exercise of brutality. Miss Menken is Diane. But there comes a time when, buoyed up a new found love, Diane turns upon Nana in a moment d GEORGE MELFORD Cl Qimmount Qictun jy Appearing at the Victory Theatre for one week, commencing today. |
