Frank J. Wilstach. business manager
for Viola Allen is in the city arranging
for his stars appearance here the last
three days of next week at the Salt
Lake theatre. Miss Allen is to present
here her second great hit. In the Pal
ace of the King, in which she has
appeared during the past two seasons
with enormous success. She is now in
California, where she has estab lished
new house records for tOp-nOtch re-
ceipts at every. playhouse where she
has appeared. Miss Allen has brought
from New York her entire company,
supernumeraries and all, as well the en-
tire scenic equipment of what is said
to be one of the most magnificent pro-
auctions of modern times. That Miss
Allen has been able to secure another
success which has surpassed even that
of the popular Christian, proves that
lightning does sometimes strike twice

ricals. This win be the last chance to

one knew his name No one knew or
cared from whence he came. He faced
the world alone. on trial, and he usually
closed his entertainment by passing the
box office around the audience And his
contributions often proved to his own sat
