UTAH THEATRE. Since 1008 wtllard Mack has piayoa tho stoller roles In many great plays. Last week Mr. Mack and his superb company delighted thousands at the Utah Thoatro wltli bis splendid presontatlon or "On Parole," the play be first appeared In In this rity. Next week he has another treat In store for patrons or tho Utah when ho and Miss flambeau, supportod by an unusually large and talented oast will give Robert N. Stephens groat rour-act rour-act lemi-clasalc, "An Enemy to the King." It is ono or tho biggest scenic and costumo plays yot attempted by the Utah Stock company, and Judging from tho amount or time and labor devoted to It by Mr. Mack, Gavin Young, stago manager and the members mem-bers or the big company, Salt Lako play goers arc In store Tor a rare entertainment. entertain-ment. The play Is another or E. II. Sothorn's successes but should .not bo confused with "If I Were King," another Sothorn success In which Mr. Mack appeared with remarkable succoss on two occasions In this city. "An Enemy to tho King," Is the title or next week's attraction, and we venture the prediction that local amusement amuse-ment lovors will bo more than ploascd with the performance. While It Is semt-olasslc, It doals with war and Intrigue, and it has a religious riavor without being "preachy." It deals with conditions In the rirteonth contury during the war between tho Hugcnots and King Henry or Franco, or, In other words, between tho Hugcnots and the Catholic church In Franco. Whore over It has boon presented It lias always pleased those who have been fortunate enough to see It. Tho story concerns mostly the adventures advent-ures of Eranton Do Launay, a Hugenot captain, who has cast his lot with tho king or Navarre. Tlio scenes aro laid in tho provlnco or Bcrrl, Tranco. It also has muclilo do with Julio Do Verlon, a boautl-rul boautl-rul young woman whoso rather has been lockod In prison and who has been In-ducod In-ducod by the govornor to bring about tho capture or the Hugenot captain who has boon carrying on a sort or guorrilla warraro. On the promlso that hor father shall bo released from prison she consents con-sents to do what sho can to bring about tho capture or Do Launay, although tho task is a hateful one to bor. She starts out on her mission but Is set upon by a band of rufrans whon Do Launay cd'imis to hor rescue. Slid tolls him not knOW lng who he Is or hor mission and ho says he will conduct hor to tho place yhoro Do Launay Is biding. Ho takes hor away i and sho later dlscovors his Identity arid sends a messenger to tho govornor of tho whoroabouts or tho man so much wanted. It is then that lovo awakens in hor heart for the hugenot and sho tries to prevent his capture. Tho governor sends men to take Co Launny but the latter escapes. Julio makes her way back to the governor's palace for tno purpose or bogging life Of bor lover and finds tho palaco almost desortod and the govornor virtually aflno Dc Launay, learning that the troops havo gone In search of him has no fear of entering enter-ing tho palaco whero ho finds tho governor gover-nor and tho girl be loves. An exciting scone follows whon tho govornor thinks ho has Do Launay In his pbwor, but the Hugonot captain's followers arrive on tho sceno arid tljo girl and bor father aro both saved by the clover ruses of Do Launay.- Mr. Mack will bo seon In tho rolo or tho Hugenot captain and Miss namboau has been cast for tho part or Julio Do Varlon. Howard Scott, the new character nrian who made such a big lilt last week as General Pliicknoy, in "On Parolo" plays the part or the governor, a part ho has playod many times bofore.
