Show H j AMUSEMENTS Hb henry miller coming to coast m Beginning July 10th, Henry Miller and a great H company will begin the production -of. a series B of plays in San Francisco. We can't understand H ' why he didn't stop here on the way, favorite H that he is, and liking Salt Lake as he does, and B considering how long it has been since we have B i been given the opportunity to enjoy the spoken B drama in such form as Mr. Miller and his peo- B I pie always produce it. In their repertoire is M "The Mollusc," by Hubert Henry Davies; "The H Great Divide," John Galsworthy's "The Fugitive," B1 and other notable successes. Bl' Sir Charles Wyndham played "The Mollusc" B I with great success and the part played in the Mil- B ler production will be taken by his nephew, Mr. B , Bruce McRea. Then there will be Miss Hilda B Spong, Miss Alice Lindhal and dear old Mrs. M Thomas Whiffen in a one act play preceding "The B Mollusc." A new, delightful comedy by A. E. H Thomas, "Come Out of the Kitchen," will ea- M ture Miss Ruth Chatterton and there are any B number of good things too numerous to mention. M The season will last for at least ten weeks, M which should bring the Miller company to Salt M Lake in September, if the actor-manager and B his people can be prevailed upon to treat us as wo B1 expect them to. 1 B FRANK R. NEWMAN'S RISE B The recent announcement that John Cort and B William Morris have consummated a deal by B. ( which one of the greatest vaudeville circuits in B the country has been formed and that Frank R. B Newman will be the western general manager, B ' has been very gratifying to the friends of all B, and especially of Mr. Newman, who has a host B all over the west as well as in Salt Lake, where B he has made such a success of the Pantages. B j The new circuit will stretch from ocean to ocean. Bi It is understood that it was optional with Mr. B j Newman where he would make his headquarters, Br and he immediately chose Salt Lake. B The news of the new move has been hailed B with delight by theatre goers, particularly vau- B deville fans, and the stars of the circuit will be B in the big time in every sense of the word, be- B ing booked for sixty-two consecutive weeks. It B is enough that there will be seven acts on the M bill with two shows a day, with fifty cents as B the high price. D B "THE PHANTOM" B A scenario writer wrote a story and called it B "The Phantom." It is the regular Triangle of- B fforlng at the American today and tomorrow. Thos. B Ince of the Triangle organization took it as a B vehicle for Frank Keenan and Enid 'Markey. As B one reads the s'ory he is remined of "Raffles;" B for it is a detective story jammed full of ad- B venture and excitement. The most interesting B thing about "The Phantom," however, is that B Frank Keenan plays in it. Here is an extraor- B dinary man in stage history. lie created the B role of Jack Ranee in "The Girl of the Golden B West" and his achievement in this character will fl be a matter of interesting comment long after B 'Mr. Keeman has been in his last "fade-out." He B is given credit for establishing a distinctive type B of Southern gentleman in the minds of the Amer- B ican people by his characterization of Buck War- B ren in "The Warrens of Virginia." He is loved, Bl admired and honored by stage-folk generally. In I private life Mr. Keenan has the reputation of . being one of the best amateur ballroom danc- Htf ers in the country, and in this play the scenes Be in fashionable society give him full opportunity Bf; to demonstrate. Enid Markey, is well known in Bft! Salt Lake. HBmh'.-, ) HBPi i'BBhbr?- w?&t1Sb1 w- HHB " v '$$& IjlisyBBffRlMBiBBy Hh FRANK R. NEWMAN |
