Show EMPRESS With 'a double headline bill the Empress has been standing them up in the evenings since the Sunday opening, Onaip dividing the honors with Tom Nawn and his company, though the acts are far apart, the fc-raer being an extraordinary deceptionist and Tom Nawn a laugh maker of ability. With the assistance of his company, "Pat and the Genii" called for a lot of laughs and got them all. Onaip or his piano or both pay no attention to the force of gravity, the piano and Onalp's assistant remaining suspended in the air, the playing continuing no matter how the piano is moved or whirled. Mary Gray has also been a distinct hit at Marcus Loew's and the two Georges and the Ratskeller trio complete an excellent bill. The Sullivan-Considine Empress theatre in Salt Lake will be the "Sullivan-Considine Empress" Em-press" no more after the coming week. It will be ' Marcus Loew's" Empress.

Eight years ago his name had never been heard of in amusement amuse-ment circles. His rise has been phenominal and his purchase of the Sullivan-ConBldine theatres undoubtedly presages a change in the local theatrical the-atrical situation that will result advantageously '3' to Salt Lake's theatre goers.
