Ethel Barrymore in the title role of "Cousin Kate' the comedy in which Charles Frohinan presented pre-sented her all last season, comes to the Salt Lake thaatre Monday and Tuesday. "Cousin Kate" is announced simply as a comedy com-edy in three acts by Hubert Henry Davies. Kate Curtis, the part played by Miss Barrymore, is supposed sup-posed to be a young woman of twenty-nine, a. successful suc-cessful author with an individuality, a habit of saying things to the point, self-supporting, but not self-assertive, with a vivacious sense of humor, a woman V7ith the world's knowledge of human nature, na-ture, but up to the moment wholly cynical about love and lovers. She has a foil in her young cousin, Amy Spencer, who has indefinite ideals about lovo and marriage and has just dismissed a jolly young Irish lover, because those ideals did not impress him as they should. Kate on her journey has met a charming young stranger, whose name she had not interested herself in, but he had wonderful eyes and she sympathizes with Amy to the extent of promising to bring her lover back to her. It is not long of course before Kate meets her unknown traveling companion; she is airing and setting to rights a lovely little country home, when he climbs in at the window. A whole act is devoted to the scene between Kate with her fine sense of humor and the witty young Irish artist, who, after a mutual confession of love and much too late, Kate discovers him to be Amy's affianced af-fianced lover.
