Show W W V THE NEW BILLS. SALT LAKE THEATRE The house opens for the entire week Monday evening, playing two attractions. Trixie Friganza, a Broadway com dienne, will be seen Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Wed-nesday evenings in "The Sweetest Girl in Paris." The production is under the management manage-ment of Harry Askln and a company of sixty is announced supporting the star. The latter has been prominent enough in musical show circles the last two years to warrant the prediction of excellent entertainment if sin. '.8 at all capably supported and the play is acceptable. She has not had a New York failure in a good while, and elsewhere "The Sweetest Girl in Paris" has been received as one of the best of the many shows In which she has played. Beginning Thursday evening Kyrle Bellew will offer Hubert Henry Davles' three-act comedy, com-edy, "The Molusc." Mr. Davies will bo remembered remem-bered here as the author of 'Cousin Kate," in which Ethel Barrymore has been seen at the Theatre, and he is also responsible for John Drew's present play, "A Single Man." The young wife who lords it rather imperially over the other members of her household and the methods pursued by her husband and brother in effecting her cure, furnish the background for the lines and situations of the sketch. COLONIAL No more interesting announcer ment has been made in local theatrical circles so (Continued on Pago 12.) THE NEW BILLS. (Continued from Pago 9.) far this season than Manager Ketchum's information informa-tion that the Colonial will house Florence Roberts, Rob-erts, Thurlow Bergen and Theodore Roberts in "Jim, the Penman," beginning Sunday evening, the engagement continuing throughout the entire en-tire week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. Satur-day. The Roberts-Bergen-Roberts tour in the famous fa-mous old detective play began on the coast several sev-eral months ago, and the three stars have had a phenomenally long and successful run in the production. Miss Roberts and Mr. Bergen were last seen here at the Colonial in "The Nigger," a play not at all suited to their talents. In 'Jim, the Penman," they have evidently found what both have needed for several seasons roles in which they are most effective. Theodore Roberts has long been rcognized as one of the greatest character actors on the present day stage, and his last appearance here was with Guy Standing in "The Right of Way." Salt Lakers will have little difficulty in remembering his splendid work in that production, and with this trio of artists in the leading roles of "Jim The Penman" the production will very likely prove one of the best and biggest features in the Colonial's early season. GARRICK "The Easterner," played by Nat C. Goodwin with a good deal of success a season or so ago, but a production that has never been seen here, will be given its initial presentation at the Garrick Sunday evening, filling the week at that house, with matinees Thursday and Saturday. Sat-urday. The story runs to thrills more or less, the action taking place in an irrigation district of California and compassing most of the tricks of good melodrama before the intricate tangle of circumstances is straightened out and everybody every-body happy. It will give Mr. Parker, the company's com-pany's leading man, his first role of any prominence prom-inence in several weeks, and while the possibilities possi-bilities of the part are not unlimited, there is a deal of strength in the character that can be developed de-veloped to excellent advantage. George Broad-hurst Broad-hurst is the author of the play and. his "Man of the Hour" and "Bought and Paid For," the latter now running in New York, are too well known to playgoers to necessitate further comment on his ability to write and stage an interesting story. ORPHEUM "Cheyenne Days," Gus Horn-brook's Horn-brook's wild west show, including Lucille Hul-hall Hul-hall and her high school broncho "Red Buck," together with Art Borden, Wyoming's champion rope expert, and Otto Klein, who rides the only outlaw bucking horse on the stage, "Wampus," is announced as the headliner for the Orpheum bill beginning Sunday evening. A touch of the old west is premised, and with "Cheyenne Days" on the bill is George Lloyd and Jay Roberts, drawing room entertainers; Kline Brothers and Sybil Brennan in bits of musical comedy; Imes in songs; Henry Clive, assisted as-sisted by Miss Mai Sturgis Walker in an entertaining enter-taining sketch, and La Arenera and Victor, direct di-rect from the Folles Bergere, presenting "Love of the Rose." The Trio DuGros in a strong arm act. and with current news of the day in motion pictures and the Orpheum concert orchestra will complete the new program, which, at this writing, writ-ing, sounds like a cluster of live act3. |
