H ' "Tlio Havoc" is described as a new trcat- H ! ment or tlio dramatic triangle. The chlo: H ! characters or the play aro Richard Craig, H an Amorlcan rallroal man; Kate, his wire, H aqd'Puul Hossert, a trusted guest In his H hptnp.'

Blanche Walsh upon whoso shoulders descended the cloak or the lato Fanny Davenport, undoubtedly enjoys the distinction dis-tinction or being America's roromost emotional emo-tional actress. Miss Walsh after putting aside the roles or "La Tosca", "Dlsmonda", "Fedora", and "Cloopatra", succeeded In keeping tho virile- drama In rorco through the medium or Tolstoi's "Tho Rossurec-tlon", Rossurec-tlon", Fitch's "A Woman In tho Case" and throe othor vehicles, namely "Tho Kreutzor Sonata", "The Straight Road" and "The Test". Since there are apparently nu heavy dramas lert to her liking sho l)as been Induced to enter vaudeville with a dramatic dramalet entitled "Tho Countess Nadlnc". It is a Russian story that grips one rrom tho start, and one arter Miss Walsh's own heart. Her supporting company com-pany Includes the names or several well known players Including Harry West, Theodore Theo-dore Dabcock and William M. Trovers. Another big stellar attraction Is encountered encount-ered on the new bill In the person or Elsa nuegger who is generally concodod to bo tho flhoSt woman cellist In tho world. Appearing Ap-pearing In concert and with symphony orchestras as a soloist Miss nuegger has been crowned with the flattering plaudits or the most exacting Europoan and Amorlcan Amorl-can critics. On- her present tour Miss lleuggcr will bo assisted by the celebrated conductor Mr. Edmund Llchtenstcln. A third act that has headlined bills elsewhere Is the sketch presented by J. C Nugent and company under the tltlo or "Tho Regular"; Those who recall "The Veteran", "Tho Rdtmdor", "The Husband" and many other comedies Mr. Nugent has presented In vaudeville will bo Interested to learn that his latest offering Is said to be the best yet. Ethel MacDonough Is destined to bo another an-other strong number on the new bill. As a versatile dcllnoator or popular songs she has had perhaps a more varied career than any or the other popular singing comediennes comedi-ennes on the stage today. Both Lano and O'Donncll are accomplished accomplish-ed contortionists and gymnasts, while the latter Is a knock-about comedian and pan-tomlmlst pan-tomlmlst or exceptional ability. In their offering on tho now bill O'Donncll Is com-peled com-peled to take rails rrom various articles or rurnllure and a stop ladder which it seems no bones could resist. They rightly call their act "Tho Lunatic Tumblers".. Another good rtfaturc on tho now bill Is the offering of "Tho Parisian Singers", three mon who sing French songs in tho, approved Continental vaudevlllo stylo and Incidentally play violins, an accordeori and a French horn. A club swinging and Juggling, acl -de- llverod In classy stylo will bo tho act or Tho Three Juggling Millers who seem to n dory the laws or gravitation and Inertia li In the manipulation or Indian clubs.. r The Orpheum Exclusive Motion Pl'dtqres and some now music rrom tho latest European operas rendered in tho form or preliminary concerts prior to the matlncos and cvonlng perrormanccs by tho orchestra undor the direction or Mr. Ed. J. Fltz-Patrick Fltz-Patrick round out tho now bill. UTAH THEATRE.

IUTM THEATRE STOCK GO.jl MARJORIE RAMBEAU, who will be seen in the best role of her career at the Utah Theatre all next week, playing Maggie Schultz in "Kindling" EMPRESS. Probably the best roaturo or this wook's Empress bill when put under tho mlcro-scopo mlcro-scopo Is tho "tank act" or "Tho Mlrthrul Mormalds", wherein a pair or protty and shapoly girls, really they aro protty and shapoly, do innumerable tricks to tho great nmazemont and dollght or tho audlonce Anna MorecraN and Helena Oandreau are tholr names, and when tho press agent says thoy'ro tho host mermaids to visit this city slnco Annotto Kollerman cast a cloud or envy over tho romalo population, I am sure ho knows or what ho Is speaking Anyway, thoro is some satlsractlon in knowing that ovorybody who goes to tho Empross this weok will, or should, boar tho press agent out in tho statement. What those two young womon cannot do under water isn't worth trying, thoy do Illp-flops, dive backward and Trontward, float, sing and even do n llttlo sowing Job that they might havo noglocted provloufly to do at their hotel. Tho act Is most unusual, un-usual, every movement or the swimming beauties Is visible to the eye, as It all takos place m a large crystal tank Illlod with (CONTINUED ON PAGE 12) I Theatrical and Amusements M (Continued from page 0) H cloarwater. As an acquatlc feature It Is H wHhout an equal. H ,- One or the most pleasing rou Hires or the HH 1)111 Is Miss May Ward who sings pretty H songs In a pleasltfg way ana wears many H beautiful gowns. Miss Ward is Just one H hundred and thirty pounds of good humor H or the most spontaneous sdrt. H Clark" and McCullough ore tramp run- H makers who make "Mudh Ado About H Nothing", and get along so well that they H are called bcrore the curtain several times fH before their final 'getaway. As a pnlr or H genuine mlrthmakers this popular couple H have but few equals. H Dancing Is a specialty In which Thomas B and Oertrude Kennedy excel. They arc H tho young couple who recently won the H Metropolitan Waltz contest at Madison M Square Garden, New York, and their pres- H ent dance, a creation or their own, being a M potpourri or all the latest dances or the H day. This, young couple have but rcw H equals In the dancing world. H "Ills Nerve" Is a molojlramatlc playlet M i dealing with a couple or crooks, a police- H man and a plain, cvoryday citizen. It Is H exceptionally well acted and there are Just Hj enough comedy situations to make It In- M torestlng and enjoyable. Hl Keln Brothers present n skit In which Hj tlioy appear as two Germans.
