Show STAGELAND..,. L Polly of the Circus came to us this week in all Its lMlstlno glory nnd played to o packed house. This was tho Number ono company, nnd it was a very strong one indeed. Wo noticed, no-ticed, however, u few familiar fates who weio with the sumo play when It was presented here a year ngo, but they wero tho best players of tho pro-vlous pro-vlous organization, With Mr. Hnrrln ns tho minister and Miss St. Leon an Polly, a stiongor lineup could not bo found. Miss St. Leon's Polly wos very fine. Her return to consciousness conscious-ness lu tho bod at tlio parsonage and I hei ring" twang, showing her sur prise at her surroundings wns not overdone ono little bit. Her childishness childish-ness and Innocence at things scriptural scrip-tural nnd her Implicit faith' In tho woids of tha pastor was splendid. Her return to health and her marked advance ad-vance In her educational studies under un-der the tuition of the pastor, her romping with the children, taking part In their childish games and fun wns well acted and made a character char-acter that was lemarkably true to tho letter. The cackling gossips of the vlllnga with their Pharasalcal ways were also there,-and as they wore given ono cannol help but con trust them with somo scandalmongers ono meets with nowadays, Tho circus tents nnd tho performers in the ring wero real nnd strong. Had It boon possible to hava got the two splendid white horses onto tho stngo It would havo climaxed an exceedingly strong production. Hut Is It was, It was well worth the money, nnd those whri" were privileged to see It went homo thoroughly satisfied. Tho story Is a strong one with an excellent moral. It might b'vell to mention thnt Miss St. Leon originally was a circus rider before sho essayed the footlights foot-lights and wns really an ndept. Tho story goes thnt owing to the severe illness of the loading lady of the original or-iginal company, Miss St. Leon asked to take her part in tho production, which was granted with tho remarkable remark-able result witnessed Tuesday night. That tho winsome lady made a hit goes without saying and proves conclusively con-clusively that physical culture not only tones up tho muscles of the body but sharpens tho intellect as well, nnd It Is cafe to say that as the lead In a great play no mistake was made when Miss St. Leon was accidentally fitted into tho pnrt which she Is po successfully playing. Polly will be always al-ways a welcome visitor to Logan, not only for her wlnsomcncss but for tho magnificent lesson one obtains from plays of that character, as It Is very true that the motley covets Just ns noble a heart and mind, and the motley breast throbs with just us high aspirations as one can find beneath' be-neath' tho filmy folds of a' silken rai- ment. Tho Round Up at Pendleton, Oregon, Ore-gon, showing tho cowboys and Indians In-dians lu many of the exciting sltua-1 sltua-1 tlons on the range, was presented at the Opera Houso Thursdoy eenlng. ' to a very large audience. Tho plctuios I were good but not very well handled , by the operator. The riding of tlio bucking bronchos, lite bulldogglng of steers showing the way the cowbois handle them In thnt dangcious pas time with their bare hands uud teuih Is terribly exciting nnd lenl Tho wild pony races, ropo tying, and fancy lasoolng wns shown In Its perfect ion. Tho events could they have beep, seen in real life would have crented no cud of enthusiasm. As a diversion n gymnastic performance was given on the trapeze and Roman rings by the two Royals. Mesus. Hums nnd nerntson, two Logan boys, who ul though young, can glvo some of the traveling "experts" many pointers In this class of work. Considerable an-phutso an-phutso was given the two In their ' unique act. The Princess theatre has been playing play-ing to packed houses, tho vaudeville attractions from tho popular Empress tlieatro of Salt Lake drawing tho crowds. Tlio pictures .however, have been excellent. One of them wns an exceedingly pood one by tho Tan-houses- company taken from Charles Dickon's story of David Coppcrfleld. This three reel piece was excollently staged. Uriah Heep was there in nil his hypocrisy, and Mlcnwber with his mincing, prancing gait and knowing know-ing smllo ndded Bplco to the piece and helped out David nnd Aunt Dotty. Tho scenic effects and clearness wero well worth Beolng. Two now vaudo-vlllo vaudo-vlllo acts will bo hero commencing Monday, and Manager Gill informs us that theso vaudeville stunts will bo a poatlon of tho weekly menu.
