Show THEATERS AT THE ORPHEUM. In an act of remarkably mysterious mysteri-ous aspect, the "great" Carter, kept three large audiences in a state of amazement yesterday at the Orpheum theatre for nearly a half hour. The act headlines a strong program and nothing more interesting has been presented for the entertainment of Ogden theatre-goers in several years. Carter performs his mystery tricks on a brilliantly lighted stage and his act alone is well worth a visit to the Pantages playhouse. Later in the evening, Carter and his company appear in another sensational sen-sational act entitled "The Lion's Bride." This is the evolution of an oriental story and features, with Carter, Car-ter, Miss Anne Walters and a large African lion. Miss Walters does an oriental dance with considerable ar-tlsty ar-tlsty and is the proposed victim of the lion. In the climax to the act, Carter's mystic skill is again brought into pla3r and the audience is given an unlooked for thrill. Ernest Williams and Katherine Rankin, two genuine artists, give a fine program of solos and duets on cornets of different types. The comedy sketch "Traveling," presented by Monroe Hopkins and Lolo Axtell, is greeted with hilarious approval. The duo are clever comedians come-dians and the lines of their act are unusually funny. Another big treat, is a slock act presented by Truly Shattuck and Marta Golden, two recent stars of musical comedy. Personality looms large in the act and, as both have good voices to go with that part of their makeup, they are voted two of the best entertainers of the year. Carson brothers, who open the program, pro-gram, win instant respect. They are cleanly developed athletes and their feats of strength and gymnastic skill are well worth seelner. AT THE ALHAMBRA. Though misfortune, In the way of California storms, overtook some of the regularly booked Hippodrome vaudeville acts that were to be shown at the Alhambra theatre this week, Manager H. E. Skinner was able to secure some good substitutes and the program jjicbciiicu jcoiciuaj u.l iui Hudson avenue playhouse was well received. There are two particularly fine acts on the bill, presented by a duo of cyclists and two banjo players. The cyclists brother and sister are finely built gymnasts and their act Is good enough to win a booking on the "big time" circuits. It Is one of continuous con-tinuous sensation the performers seeming to defy the laws of gravity with complete success. That real music can be drawn from a banjo is proven by Stanley and Pfeiffer who win numerous encores for their playing on the southern Instruments. In-struments. They Include solos and duets In their program and some remarkable re-markable trick playing is done by Stanley. Steve Orris, the champion, rope thrower of the southwest, keeps the audience interested with a skillful exhibition ex-hibition of lariat throwing. Bill Doo-ley, Doo-ley, the popular comedian, arrived late in the day, but managed to greet the evening audiences and win their applause. He is above the ordinary as a vaudeville comedian and his act Is well written. Thomas and Wright are gifted entertainers, en-tertainers, the former being a clover comedian with a good voice and the latter a singer and toe dancer. Their act is well received, though Thomas takes a chanco at disapproval at times with out-of-place lines. Williams and Williams have a dancing dan-cing act that is worth consideration. They are past masters of the art of triple tapping and perform numerous "freak" dance numbers. The matinee audience yesterday also found the photo-play "The Tonges of Men," one of absorbing interest. |
