Show I I am With The First Nighters & H I li I'll II I fi i li HE SALT LAKE B 1 11 V "" 11 is winding up I III m. J 111 tlie woek end B I li M II with a play that H I 111 II provokes more H the average por- H son can- comfortably get away with H in one short evening. "Twin Beds" H i has been hero before but it does not H tiro one to see it the second time. H . There is something in the lines, and H ( between the lines, of this play that B.;' makes a subtle appeal to every mar- Hj I, ried man and woman who sees it, and H I -which continually keeps touching his M or her funnybone. H "Twin Beds" is billed as a comedy. H The average man, were he in the Hj flx of the unfortunate husband, would H. ( consider the situation pretty much of H a tragedy. The play portrays the dis- H advantages of living in a modern flat, H and the plot what there is of it H revolves around the domestic difflcul- H ties of a newly married couple who H i happen to bo cursed with undesirable H I neighbors on all sides. One imagines H' that the playwright was hard put to H the task of unravelling the domestic Hj j tangles which he himself created. H . An ingenious little bride, who juat H' can't help being sociable with her H . neighbors, is responsible for most of H the difficulties. Then a fat Italian H tenor who lives overhead, and who H has a weakness for almost every H -woman he meets, likewise contributes H largely to the double domestic tangle. Hj And his wife, a modern Amazon of no H mean accomplishments, is a most ex- H traordinary and amusing character. H The Irish maid also contributes to the M I complications. M ' The play is in capable hands. As H ' Signora Monti, Antoinette Rochte is H ' perhaps the outstanding figure in the H cast. Josephine Saxe is a close sec- H i ond in the role of the little bride, M" whose desire for twin beds starts all H the trouble. S. Paul Vernon plays H the difficult role of Signor Monti ac- H, ceptably, and the other parts are all B well cast. Matinee and evening per- H ' formances are billed for today. H H ORPHEUM TWO unusually good things are of- fered the public in the present bill H , running at the Orphoum. One is Hor- H I; ace Goldin, well named an illustion- H 1st, and the other is "Two Black Hj Crows" by Moran & Mack, blackface M laugh makers, unlimited. H ' George Moran and Charles Mack in H i their blackface sketch, "Two Black H' Crows," include some unexpectedly M ' new stuff in their repertoire of fun 1 flashes. M Goldin deals in necromancy and de- H ludes the audience repeatedly with 'his. H skillful work, which Includes fishing H not in a stream but in "the pit," catch- li ing real, live, wriggling goldfish from the midst of the audience into whom he "casts" with true skill, after which he juggles a domino girl through solid glass and talks with her in a motion picture film. Cleopatra's snake dance is taken off from the Bunny side of life by Dooley & Nelson, whoso burlesque is uproariously uproar-iously funny and earns big applause. Clever work is shown in the three-parts three-parts act by Grace De Mar, whose takeoff on the telephone girl at a newspaper office is particularly well done, while womankind on a train and a street car alike are reflected in the brilliant acting of this gifted performer. per-former. Miss Zina Lerner, Russian pianist, has two regular selections, but her wonderful technique and artistry are such that encores are always demanded demand-ed and given by this gracious musician. mu-sician. Ralph Herz's recital of "The Shooting Shoot-ing of Dan McGrew" is only one of the many excellent offerings of this singer and reciter. Charles and Anna Glocker surpass the usual jugglers, toying nonchantly with wand, fire and water alike. The Pathe weekly news picture and the Orpheum travel films include scenes on land and sea, those in Prance being particularly interesting. PANTAGES i BRISTLING with more good things than a fretful porcupine with toothpicks, the present bill at Pan-tages Pan-tages ranks in the AA class of vaudeville vaude-ville entertainment. There are "The Handicap Girls," whose antics and frolics as bewitching bewitch-ing jockeys behind Johnny Morris and Eddie Parks, help keep the merry plot of this dashing one-act musical comedy com-edy on the go. Right down-to-the-present songs, with up to the limit costumes, daring dances, some excellent excel-lent staging and the comedy of the two funny men, comprise the main attractions of this first class act. Then, too, Patricola is back: Patri-cola, Patri-cola, who, the first time she came to Salt Lake made a hit, and has kept her batting average up to the Cobb limit right along. Her jazz interpretation interpreta-tion a la Egyptian is a rascally little beauty, while her famous Irish song is always a popular encore and Patricola Pat-ricola is always the recipient of curtain cur-tain calls here. Under the title of "The Gadabouts" is one of those extremely funny far-ciettos far-ciettos which are crammed with laughter-lines set in a ring of mirth a gem of comedy. Bernice Howard, a dainty actress of brilliant attainments, attain-ments, and Jack White, her talented partner, give this act in a manner which calls for encores and gets them a-plenty. The Hoyt-Hyams trio offer a mixture mix-ture of good things, including some excellent vocalization and some light and frothy lines which are acted in the truest comedian style. Jane Ward and Billy Cullen give "Song Storiettes" the theme of their lays being the ups and downs of modern mod-ern life with comical allusions to the young wedded couple and their after trials. Archie Onri does everything from making a lightning quick painting to singing and wonderful balancing with "Devil Sticks" the latter a novelty in juggling which prove popular with the house from their dextrous handling han-dling by the apparently bored-to-death Onri. Miss Dolly Onri assists him materially and helps put over this excellent ex-cellent act. The Labor day celebration, including includ-ing the parade at Salt Lake, and the good time at Saltair, make up a motion mo-tion picture offering this week which is particularly attractive to local audiences, audi-ences, while the fifth episode in the motion picture drama, "A Fight For Millions,' 'entitled, "The Path of Thrills," and the program by the Pantages orchestra, led by Eddie Fitz-patrick, Fitz-patrick, conclude the program.
