| Show LARTICLE 47 oExcellent Performance at the Theatre Last Evening Among the many plays of its class that I have heretofore been given here Clara I Morris could hardly have selected one more unpopular than LArticle 47 with which to open her engagement and this fact may be assigned as the chief reason why the Theatre was not more crowded than it was last evening Before a good sized audience however Miss Morris made her debut upon the Salt Lake stage and was received with a hearty round of applause From the beginning be-ginning it was seen that she had struck the chord by which she could move the entire audience and from her first entrance en-trance to the culmination of the play she grew in favor and had everything her own way The lady is of slender graceful I figure with a face so expressive as to picture the finest emotions It waS nature that first fitted her to take so high stand among emotional actresses and hard study and long experience has completed the work The lady had many fine scenes but the one at the end of the last act was by far the heaviest and eminently the most effective From the way she begins to work up the audience to a pitch which keeps them in constant agony it may indeed be said that there is method in her madnessa method almost too horrible to suit the average theatregoer j but painful as it is it cannot but inspire one with the greatest admiration for the power and skill of the artist Of the support nothing but good can be said beause each one was equal to his part Mr Miller is an attractive and smooth actor and played his part with such ease that he won a large share of the honors especially with the ladies and all the others were strictly up to the mark The audience left the house with an entirely different idea of the play and it has lost all of the unfavorable impressions hanging about it Miss Morris appears tonight in Miss Melon a pretty play in which she has won any amount of renown |
