The show was good throughout, but bore a few of the marks of old age in its scenic effects. The comedy, founa ou George Barr MeCutcheon's novel of the same name and telling how a young man successfully success-fully spent a million dollars In a year in order to get sevfn million dollars, is filled with that life which Americans Ameri-cans Ike to see Yankee vim and nerve The company was good, but nothing noth-ing to compare with former companies. Royal Tracey, in the role of Brews'er. is a clever young actor, but he overdid the rolo In. places, and at tiroes did not seem to nut the proper spirit. In his work. Ho lacked much in being the Brewster Robert Ober was Other members of the cast displayed the same symptoms. They needed more ginger, lona Bright as "Peggy" Grey-was Grey-was very good, as was Ioulsc Sanfonl as Mrs. Dan DoMille. Gus Christie as "Sunshine" McLeod -gave a splendid portrayal of that role. The yacht scene proved as thrilling as ever. Tonight, at the Ogden Theater, Mix Flgmau, Ogden's favorite comedian, w ill bo seen at his best in "Mary Jane's Pa." Press and public on the Pacific coast and in I he Northwest have been unanimous In their praise of Mr. Flgman and his new show, and he will bo greeted bv a crowded house. E. T. S. AT THE ORPHEUM. After three weks of shows of mediocre me-diocre quality, the Orpheum presents a bill this week ihat is entitled to head line honors as the best yet. To say ihat the bill is the best yet is a very broad statement, but it will bo erlfled by the 'first-nighters" who filled every seat in that popular .playhouse .play-house last night. jTo say that Ihe bill is good Is not strong enough; it Is excellent. There are two acts on the stronj card either one of which Is worth tho price of admission They are Willy Pantzer and brothers and Una Clayton Clay-ton and company. These people are certainly artists in their respective lines This is not all there is on the bill that deserves nn)j)ted praise, for there are Mr. and' Mrs. Frederic Voel ker, the Garden City trio. Risley and Remo and the Doner! y sisters While the latter did not arrive In Ogden on 1 account of the washouts on the Southern South-ern Pacific, they will be there this evening, and Ihey come with splendid endorsement of the press and publ c. Willy Pantzer, asflsled by his brothers, broth-ers, Harry, Abe and Jewel, a colored servant, and some tralued dogs and a cat. put on an acropantomlmlc sketch called "The Limit," Tho act Is certainly cer-tainly well named, for It even goes beyond the limit In pleasing the audience. au-dience. It is hard to describe this unique and original act which- Is composed of hand and head balancing, tuniblincr, contortion and comedy by Jneslslable comedians. It is ono of those acts that pleases, and that Is what all ads are supposed to do please the audience. The "boys" do their "stunts'' in a manner that shows that they delight in doing them for the audience. The act closed with a burlesque hull fight that "brought down the house." In thirty minuter." time Miss "Tun. Clayton, assisted by Francis Morey and Miss Mona D. Ryan, present an act entitled "His Local Color" that contains more humanheart interest, pathos and rich and delicious comedy than half of the dramas or comedies to bo found In road shows As one watches Miss Clayton In her clever and beautiful portrayal of the character, charac-ter, a girl of the "East Side" (New-York), (New-York), it makes one wonder how long It will be before she assumes her rightful position among the foremevsi actresses of tho country. Every minute min-ute she Is on the stage she Is "working." "work-ing." Sho is one of those accomplished accom-plished artists that wins her auditors the moment sho appears. The finale of the act was excellent Mr. Morey and Miss Ryan lend strong support "Twilight In the Studio" is the title of the act offered by Mr. and Mrs. Freder c Voclker. They aro accomplished accom-plished entertainers. Mr. Voclker is a master with a violin and his several inspiring renditions wore enthusiastically enthusiastic-ally received. He uses a Bergonzi violin vio-lin dated 1738 and a Tourte bow formerly for-merly owned by Sarasate, but regardless regard-less of the use of the ancient and costly Instrumeut he is such a master in his line he could get real music out of any kind of an instrument.

Risley and Kemo, pantomlsts. in an act, "The Effects of Opium," are as clever and refreshing as ever. Although Al-though they have tad the act for some seasons. It Is as pleasing as ever. In Interior and exterior scenes of Chinese Chi-nese laundry they do some novel acrobatic acro-batic "stunts." The Gordon City Trio are good. They spring a few fresh ones, sing well and cIom with a burlesque box-Ins box-Ins match, which Is executed while tinging a medley of popular songK The bill was opened by MIs Julia Frary, who was held over fjnm last week on account ef the non-arrival of the Doherty sitters As t,he came on the atage she was received In such a manner as to show that Khe was still a favorite, causing her to say, "You can't lose me."
