Show THE NEW BILLS. Salt Lake Theatre Lulu Glaser in the Scotch-Viennese Scotch-Viennese opera written for her, "Miss Dudel-sack," Dudel-sack," takeB the theatre for three nights begin- ning Monday evening, and "Rebecca of Sunny-brook Sunny-brook Farm" for three nights beginning Thursday evening. "Miss Dudelsack" is described as a Viennese opera in which Miss Glaser has been Very successful. In any event, it will be Salt Lake's first opportunity in several seasons of seeing see-ing this musical comedy star. "Rebecca of r Sunnybrook Farm" treats the old New England rural drama theme in a new way and is the work of Kate Douglas Wiggin and Charlotte Thompson. Colonial No production is booked for the first half of the week. Beginning Thursday evening, Henry Woodruff and company will be seen in a musical show, "The Prince of Tonight." This will be the first presentation of this musical show here, though Mr. Woodruff has been seen at the local houses in various other productions of recent re-cent seasons. Orpheum The road show gives way tonight to a bill that will be headed by Charles Kellogg v who is billed as the first singer able to correctly imitate bird songs. With him on the bill will be seen George Carson and Jake Welland in a sketch entitled, "The Dutch in China;" Gordon Eldrid and company will offer another playlet,. known as "Won by a Leg" and the Esthor Trio are styled 'Upside Down artists." Karl will play his own I musical instrument constructed of a cigar box, a pine stick and one string. The Paul Azard Trio will be seen in a touch of athletics as the sports used to be played in the days of Rome. Morris Buckhart is an author entertainer and with the new pictures will finish up the program. Garrick It is rather difficult to imagine a stock company presenting Rose Stahl's former success, "The Chorus Lady." Yet the players at the Garrick have been given the play for production pro-duction there the coming week, and the engagement engage-ment should prove as interesting as anything staged at that theatre this season. Miss Adair will, of course, be seen in the role of Patricia O'Brien, the part made famous by Miss Stahl, and when one remembers Miss Adair's peculiarities in acting and her unusual personality, it is more than probable we shall see a very satisfactory revival of Mr. Forbes' comedy. Empress Beginning next Wednesday afternoon after-noon Hal Stephens in scenes from "famous plays will head the new bill that goes on' at the upper Main Street variety house. With him will bo offered Mr. and Mrs. Mark Murphy in "Clancey's Ghost;" Jos. K. Watson in Hebrew characters; Lucki and Yost in "A Breath of Youthful Charm;" Lillian Sieger, a cornet soloist, and Robert and Robert with a trained dog act. An eastern writer says: The samples of new American drama which the Chicago Theater society so-ciety will submit through the Drama Players, as indicating its artistic canons, are "The Maternal - Instinct," by Robert Herrick and Harrison j " Rhodes, and "Gold," by iMrs. Ancella Hunter. No inkling of the content of "The Maternal Instinct" has yet been made public by the society, but ito authorship should insure an attitude of respect at the outset. Mr. Herrick is ranked by the brethren who speak ex cathedra regarding printed print-ed literature as one of the few genuine novelists of which this country may boast. Incidentally he is a professor of English literature at the University Uni-versity of Chicago; but that employment has not thus far impaired the quality of his fictional work, so it should not be held against him on the k eve of his debut as a playwright. His collaborator, collabor-ator, Mr. Rhodes, is an ex-Chicagoan, once associated asso-ciated with the editorship of the extinct Chap ' Book, and a man of skillful pen in various media. j It will bo remembered that his name was asso ciated with that of Thomas A. Wise in rtho authorship author-ship of that thoroughly commercial dramatic achievement "A Gentleman from Mississippi." |
