Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1902-12-06

A very cute, fetching and original
comedy is "Capt links of the Horse
Marines" rendered before handsome
audience at the Theater last night. No
one knows better than Clyde Fitch how
TO impart atmosphere" to his stories,
and this he did In the present instance
before the curtain rose, by having the
orchestra regale our ears with the de-
lIghtfu strains of half dozen old time
songs, such as capt. links OF the
Horse Marines Love Among the
Roses" "Up In q Balloon" Cham
payne Charley" and "Tassels on her
Roots.' Those are the tunes that were
IN vogue 80 or 81 years ago, the period
10 which the play belongs and the
quaint costumes of the day, the enor-
nous bustles, the full Grecian bends,
and the trimmed coats OF the gentle
men, all took us back delightfully."- to
that interesting after the war; period.
Miss Kennedy Is a clever and capa-
bic actress, and she had her audience
with her from start TO finish. Her
gowns were specially charming, and she
looked like picture from some old
copy of Godey's fashion book, She was
excelently supported by Mr. Babcock,
who Is specially good in the tender mo-
ments OF his love scenes, but not 80
good when he suddenly drops without
warning, from the lovemaking Of u
Henry Miller to that Of Stuart Rob
son, There were some excellent come
DIV bits scattered through the cast,
none of them better than the deaf and
dumb girl Of Miss Barton and the news
boy OF Master Barton. The ballet la
dies were screamingly funny, and the
remainder of the cast was fair without
being brilliant. The whole thing affords
merry evenings entertainment and
ought to draw good business for the
two remaining performances this az
ternoon and evening
Mr.. Shepherds orchestra won APP
plause after telling rendition of Mig
non."
