Show THE NEW BILLS. Helen Grantley, the talented girl whose splendid - work in "The Never, Never Land" attracted so (Continued on Page 15.) (Continued from Pago 13.) much favorable attention to her last year on the Orpheum oircuit, is billed as the headliner for the program which opens Sunday afternoon and continues con-tinues through the coming week. Miss Grantley is appearing in a new sketch this year called "The Agitator" and she has received flattering notices elsewhere this year, so that she will probably prove one of the theatrical features about town for the week to come at the Orpheum. Clara Belle Jerome with William Seymour and her eight dancing toodles in "Joyland" is a musical mu-sical skit for which much is claimed. The act is staged by Gus Sohlke, of musical show fame. Winona Wi-nona Winter is billed as a little cheer-up girl, late star feature of the "Dairy Maids," "The Little Cherub" and "The Golden Girl" musical companies. com-panies. George Felix and Lydia Barry and company com-pany will be seen in "The Boy Next Door" and Earl Reynold and Nellie Donegan have a roller-skating roller-skating act that is said to be a novelty. Gus Bruno, the dialect comedian, and La Clare and Sampson, strong-arm men, with the pictures will finish out the week. Maude Adams will be seen in her latest Barrie success, "What Every Woman Knows," at the Salt Lake theatre May fifth, sixth and seventh and the engagement will probably prove the feature fea-ture of that month theatrically. Miss Adams has already had a wonderful season with the play and Salt Lake will be unusually lucky in seeing it this year at all. David Higgins in "His Last Dollar," will follow fol-low Miss Alford in "Cousin Kate" at the Colonial, the engagement opening Sunday evening as usual. The play is of a type that has ever struck a popular chord with those who prefer a dash of comedy and prefer more or less human interest in their stage stories than is found in the average run of modern plays whose action contains a predominating pre-dominating element of dramatic situations, and so it is with "His Last Dollar," a well-told story, admirably ad-mirably staged and one that should appeal strongly to the Colonial's clientele. The company which will support the star is said to be capable and well cast. If there was any doubt regarding the advisability advisa-bility of bringing Blanche Douglas back to the Bungalow as leading lady of the stock company appearing at that house, it vanished early this week after Miss Douglas' first appearance Monday Mon-day evening in "Arizona." She has had an enthusiastic en-thusiastic welcome at every performance and is evidently more popular with Bungalow patrons than during her first engagement at that theatre. The bill for the coming week will be "The Regeneration," Re-generation," a remarkably strong drama, well adapted for presentation by a stock company. Manager Cox has arranged for an elaborate production, pro-duction, and it is expected the play will prove one of the big features of the Bungelow season. At the Mission Henry Carver and Alice Taylor are heading the bill in feats of skill and dexterity; the Columbia Comedy Four hold up the comedy end of the bill in a clever stunt, and are followed by Hickman Brothers and company in a laughable farce cahed ".A Detective Detected." Miller and Mack, the De Faye sisters, the latter in a banjo and dancing act that is above the average, and some new moving pictures that are excellent, finish up the program. |
