Anna Helds studies in the nude were
exhibited for the last time at the
Theater last night before another
monster audience BEFORE the over
whelning endorsement SALT Lake has
given this attraction, criticism Is al
most compelled 10 be silent The two
performances probably yielded to the
box office the greatest sum the house
ever received for two consecutive
nights by the same performance Yet.
IN sUite OF that, In spite OF the indivh-
naf cieverness Of some Of the players.
In spite OF the general gorgeousneas of
the production the honest reviewer of
theatrical events cannot conscientious
~ set the STAMP Of approval upon the
attraction IT'S whole tone Is loud, and
the effect upon It's auditors, especial
" upon the young, cannot be anything
but bad.
