Show ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL BAZAAR. All the Catholic women and men of the city are requested to attend the meeting next Sunday at 4 o'clock at the cathedral, to make final arrangements arrange-ments for the annual bazaar. "The Heir to the Hoorah," an American Ameri-can comedy by Paul Armstrong, staged and produced by the late Kirke La Salle, kept New York laughing for seven months and won all the favor that critical Boston and Chicago had to bestow, comes to the Salt Lake theatre next Friday and Saturday. Paul Armstrong has made some slight reputation as a playwright based upon melodrama entitled "A Blue Grass Handicap," a drama called "St. Anne," a farce which failed under the title of "The Superstitions of Sue," and "Sal-omy "Sal-omy Jane." It was "The Heir to the Hoorah" that gave him place among the front rank of American playwrights and it was Kirke La Salle's discriminating discrimin-ating judgment and characteristic good taste as a stage -director which gave "The Heir to the Hoorah" the wonderfully wonder-fully smooth and perfect performance so generally remarked by the eastern commentators. The fun in the new comedy is penti-ful penti-ful and lively, and according to the report of qualified experts the fabric tacks little or oecoming pure rarce at times. But the touches of pathos are deftly and aptly interwoven, so that the classification of "The . Heir to the Hoorah" in the most dignified column has never been questioned by the best judges. The scenes represent various apartments apart-ments in Joe Lacy's 'house and in a hotel, both situated in a little town in the mining country just east of "the "Divide." "The Heir to the Hoorah" mine is the key to the various complications com-plications in which Mr. Armstrong involves in-volves his characters. "The Heir" is a baby supposed to be born during the progress of the second act. whose han- py mission in life appears to be to reunite re-unite his papa and mamma, who have been separated in act I. A coter!e of miners and cow punchers, a real Japanese Jap-anese valet, a pompous British butler, a finicky mother-in-law, a dashing widow and some nice young people from the east are the quantities utilized uti-lized by Mr. Armstrong in the making up of his new comedy. In the cast are Frank Monroe, Helene Lackaye, Ben Higgins, Alice Murrell. Gene Lamont, Cassius Quinby, Ralph Dean, Harry Crosby, H. S. Hashida and Frederick Roberts. |
