The Masons. in. their side-splitting
farce. Rudolph and Adolph," dropped
into the New Grand for the Thanks
giving dates, and gave two perfor-
manees before two packed houses. The
fact cannot be exaggerated that it is
the most sensationally comical show
Manager Mulvey has spread before his
patrons this season. The chief fault Of
the farce itself is a pirated idea. The
protOtypical Dutch characters are
strikingly reminiscent of Johnny Rays

German dialect is preferable to a great
many people, and in any event "Ru-
dolDh and Adolph" is twice as clever
as the Hibernian effort. The Masons
get of a pile of new things in jokes.
songs and business. The shaving
scene between them is excruciating
Their songs are richly humorous, es-
peelally the medley Of popular airs
sung in German.
The company is strong on special
ties. The Laurence CKimbaID sisters
IN acrObatic dancing and an electric
umbrella dance filed in an interesting
quarter of an hour. Salt Lake having
been the home of the girls. their re-
markable act was especially we'll re-
ceived. LOttie Williams Salter, the SOU
brette, did some clever work in various
lines Even more pleasing than her
songs, perhaps, was her recital Of in
cidents in a soubrette's career. And
there are others who keep the interest
up, from the time the curtain is raised
until just before its fall. The most
difficult thing confronting the man who
writes a farce is how to wind It up.
The man who wrote this met with the
same obstacle, and came out second
best. There is a good deal in the piece,
too, that is suggestive and without any
particular point. It could be cut out
very gracefully.
Rudolph and Adolph" runs the re-
mainder of the week.
The Salt LAKE Opera company gave
its twelfth and thirteenth performances
of THE Wedding Day" at the Salt
Lake theatre yesterday. Business was
phenomenal, as usual. The house last
night was probably as we'll filed as at
any previous rendition of the work,
which means crowded. The same sing
ers were heard. Spencer was particu-
lGTly gay. 1t narrowed down last night
to q contest between him and the
chorus as to which would nOnplus the
OUner spencer won.
The newsboys attended the perfor-
nance last night as the guests of the
and at its close sent up
three mighty cheers for the company.
