Show OGDEN ORPHEUM GETS THE BEST OF STEGEITS EFFORTS Deseret Xews, March 22. Julius Steger, whose musical playlets stand In a class by themselves in vaude-tllle, vaude-tllle, is the headllner at the Orpheum this week. Supported bv an excellent little company, his offering stands head and shoulders above the balance of the bill. Excellently, one could say, elahoratcly staged, "The Way to the Heart," tells the story of two brothers, one pleading for tho workers work-ers In a manufacturing plant and the other standiug as adamant, whose god is tho dollar. Some of the dialogue carries cheap sentiment, but throughout through-out the story is followed with interest. inter-est. Mr. Steger's song, composed by PhuI IJncke, has a haunting refrain, and one involuntarily desires to hear more of the unseen harpist and his instrument, who adds so much to the success of the playlet. While the sketch is undoubtedly good, It Is hardly hard-ly up to "Tho Fifth Commandment," in which Mr. Steger made his first appearance ap-pearance in Salt Lake. - in reading me anove, we juage inai "The Fifth "Commandment," the little playlet to be presented by Mr. Sieger at the Ogden Orpheum next week, Is far (superior to the one presented In Salt Lake this week. Mr. Goss, tho local manager, picked "The Fifth Commaudment" from the repertoire of Mr, Steger's playlets as tho best of the lot, and It will be presented in Ogden next week. - |
