Show A SON'S DEVOTION An appreciative audience greeted the rendition of "A Son's Devotion," at the Utahna Theater last evening. The play itself is one that arouses veiy close Interest and makes up one of the strongest dramas which has appeared at the Utahna this season. Mr. Fred Moore displays his splendid splen-did versatility In the three-fold part of Tom Roark, consisting of the devoted de-voted son who knelt at the side of his dead mother, swearing retribution on her slayer, the black-garbed witch who appeared as a spectre haunting the steps of tho guilty murderer, and the awkward, unsophlticated professor profes-sor who spied upon his trail. . And Pearl Ethier Moore was no less interesting in her rendition of Ruby Norton. The hearty, musical laugh the gives the dazed professor is lino and decidedly contagious. Her full, clear quality of voice with its excellent excel-lent articulation is an appreciated favor fav-or to the audience. But tlu?re were others who did excellent excel-lent work, worthy of special mention. I'.Isb Zoan Storm as Reta Norton and Ira E. Earle as John Norton were certainly well rendered. Also Frank L. Whittler Aid Amie Ince made excellent ex-cellent brother aud sister In everything every-thing except their looks. Indeed, the play throughout Is well cast and tho perlormance a decided success. |
