Show SUNMER SHOWS. . ORPHEUM FOLK IN "THE BUTTERFLIES." Guy Carleton's clever comedy, "The Butterflies," Butter-flies," the play in which John Drew and Maud Adams for years scored one of the greatest hits of their careers, has been the Orpheum offering for the week. While a comedy, it has been the hardest thing the Orpheum people have attempted attempt-ed since the opening of their engagement, and early in the week failed to run as smoothly as it should. Few of the latter-day comedies are better laugh-producers than "The Butterflies." It is a clever play from start to finish, with situations original and clevgrly handled. The company presents pre-sents the piece fairly well, the ladies in the cast doing exceptionally good work. Miss Margaret Sayres, Miss Edith Evelyn, Miss Lola May and Miss Helaine Hadley are well cast, and their acting act-ing is admirable. Joseph Greene has the best characterization char-acterization of his engagement in the role of Hiram Green, and he plays It to perfection. Mr. Baker is a thoroughly good iEnglishman. Mr. Williams is playing Frederick Ossian, and his work is scarcely up to what may f be expected of him. The role is difficult and unusual. un-usual. Mr. Clements, Mr. Bewley and Mr. Gorman Gor-man finish out the cast. The engagement. closes with a matinee this afternoon and tonight's performance per-formance The Orpheum Stock people get into the dramatic dra-matic next week in presenting "The Brixton Burglary." Bur-glary." a play by Frederick Sydney, that is said to have a wealth of stirring action, thrilling incidents and an absorbing interesting story. The plot involves in-volves some extremely dramatic situations that have been cleverly handled, bringing out a nuni; ber of climaxes and scnees that would be hard to beat. The Orpheum people have had excellent success suc-cess with the play so far attempted, and as "The Brixton Burglary" is something of a departure to what has been presented during the last three weeks, there is promise of some interesting performances per-formances after Monday night, when Mr. Sydney's play will be presented for the first time. For the play the principal comedy part will be essayed by Roy Clements. Miss Evelyn will be seen in a new role, and every other member of the Orpheum company has been given a character char-acter to which they are especially adapted. & & & There have been trips and trips on the lake the past few years but it is doubtful if there has ever been a finer, faster or more significant run made than that of Tuesday when Joseph Nelson, president of the Saltair Beach company, and J. E.

The day was perfect and. the Irene m proved to be the fastest, staunchest, steadiest m boat the lake has known in years. The hosts Br were more than generous, and the crowd did the R i est. Governor Cutler, Acting President of the Council Davis, C. H. Quigley, W. S. McCornick, 'M Orson Hewlett, and a score or more of others in were on board when the Irene swung away from Jffl the dock at the pavilion on Tuesday morning and Igj headed out into the mist over the lake. The run Bss up past Antelope island and to the mid-lake sta- i tion on the Lucin cut-off was made by noon. Short- j fp ly after lunch the Irene poked her nose out to- I h wards Bird island. j$ |
