In his brilliant revival of "The Com
edy of Errors" Stuart Robson again
has shown the public that he is still
the foremost living actor of the light
er ShakesDeaFeap parts. Since the
death of Compton, the English player
who long ago was regarded as the most
expert. interpreter of classic comedy,
Mr.. Robson has not even had a rival
in such parts as the Dromio of SYRIA
cuse, Touchstone. Sir Andrew Ague-
check and Bottom the Weaver.
1t has been many years since this
veteran player has appeared in The
Comedy of Errors probably his most
famous Shakespearean production, and.
therefore, his forthcoming engagement
at the Salt Lake theatre next Satur-
day afternoon and nights of far more
than usual interest. Mr.. Robson as
pires to place this play on a higher
plane than it is generally accorded in
the public mind. Too frequently is it
referred to as a farce, whereas, as a
matter of fact. it is a great comedy in
the truest sense. Mr.. Robson has done
much already to rescue the play from
the field of farce, and daily is making
further advances. What the aged
Macklin did in the rescue of ShylOck
from the buffOOneries of the clown
comedians, Mr. Robson has done for
The Comedy OF Errors" and his re-
Vlval of the play, which is on a most
elaborate scale, is regarded as one of
the great dramatic events of the pres
ent season.
Mr.. Robson is supported by Clifford
! Leigh, who plays the Dromio of Ephe-
sus; by Edwin Holt and AdOlph Jack
son, as the Antipholi, and by Eleanor
Barry and Frances Grahame Mayo as
Adriana and Luciano, respectively.
/ The others of this exceptionally strong
cast include Charles Lane, Cecil King
stone, Laura Thompson, Victoria Ad-
| olson. Jennie Reifferth, Joseph P
keefe and Walter Pennington. The
play has been staged with great care
to detail, the eostuming is exceedingly
rich, and the entire production. which
is under the management of Daniel ".
Arthur, is indeed a notable one.
There never was a play produced on
the American stage that has enjoyed
the popularity of Harriet Beecher
Stoves immortal story, Uncle Tom s
Cabin and it is said that no organ
ization presenting this beautiful drama
ever contained so much real merit in
( so many features as Stetson's big dou-
bic Uncle Toms Cabin company,
which appears at the Grand theatre on
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It's
success does not depend wholly on reg
ular theatre-goers for patronage, but
draws its clientage from all classes OF
society The lesson taught by this
great drama is one that appeals to the
sympathy of all religious denOmina-
tons, and in addition Invariably draws
/ to it's performances a majority of reg
ular theatre patrons, even though it
may have been seen many times before.
! There is so much genuine merit in the
play from dramatic point of view,
and the heart interest is so intense in
