Show Charles Klein's play, "The Lion and the Mouse" which will receive its initial presentation presenta-tion In this city soon at the Salt Lake theatre. Mr. Klein is the first playwright to perceive the splendid splen-did dramatic possibilities centering about a money king. In "Ready Money" Ryder the dominant figure of "The Lion and the Mouse," he pictures the financial magnate as his associates know him. His brusquerie, his power, his little vanities, his humanizing touch of sentiment. Against him he arrays a fine type of American womanhood, justly just-ly aroused at the humiliation placed upon her . father by this man of money and his coterie of corrupt politicians. With fine ingenuity, he in- . troduces the love story of this girl and the son of her enemy. The complications that thus arise, gives occasion for some of the most effective and convincing dramatic situations that have been seen on the stage in recent years. j$ " The company to present this play here Includes In-cludes Arthur Byron, Gertrude Coghlan, Joseph Kilgour, Grace Thorne, George Parsons, A. S. Lipman, Edward See, Florence Gerald, W. H. Burton, Flora Juliet Bowley, Edith Shayne, Lillian Lil-lian Dix and Ada Curry. |
