Florence Roberts. always one OF the
most warmly received players who comes
10 SAT- Lake. opened last night her sec
ono engagement this season at the Salt
Lake theatre. Many old friends were in
me audience to greet Mis- Roberts. and
before the play was over she had added
many new friends 10 her long list. The
play caosen TO open the engagement was
one OF Miss Roberts best. She likes
ZaZa,' and she plays II with an en-
Joyment that is perfectly obvious.
IL IS rather late in the day 10 attempt
10 say something new. 20 add something
20 the many pleasant things The Herald
faS said on other days and in other sea-
Soiis about this talented California wo-
man. IL Is only necessary u say now
that she is the same light-hear+ed. emo
tional impulsive Zaza that we saw for
the rirst time two or three years ago.
Even 10 people who know but little OF
the NE behind the scenes Miss Roberts
conveys the impression that sh.. is paint
ing picture that is true in every de-
tail
There are many Zazas on the stage
today, many who achieve fame and for
tune behind the fOotlghts and give X all
up for the man they love They love
Just as passionately, just as unseifIshly,
lust as wholly as did Zaza. and Miss
ROBERTS makes one know IT, The play
rs Lot one that is all moral bur ii is
by no means immoral ana oven i'm the
C4aces 10 which objection might fairly
be raised there is always a saving touch
OF hNmor or OF emotion TO hide The bald
ness Of the story
Lucius Henderson was seen last night
IN his old part OF Bernard Dufresne Mr..
Henderson. too. has many friends here.
and they gave him a warm welcome. It
| is pleasant 10 be able TO say with truth
| that he shows Improvement. There is
more naturaineSs in his work. Hn1. though
he stih insists on posing al times. he is
getting away from some OF his gaucher-
! les.
An altogether clever DIT Of work was
the Aunt Rosa OF Miss GeorgIa Wood
thorpe. Miss WOodtnurpc does intoXica-
zion without vulgarity. without disgusting
her audience. but she never permits her
audience to forget that she is an inebri-
ate--a very hard thing TO do satisfac-
| tortly. As a character woman Miss
Woodtborpe's equal Is not often seen on
the Salt Lake theatre stage.

Won approval as Cascart. and Christisn

at matinee tomorrow. The bill for to-
morrow evening Will be The Adventure
of Ludy Ursula"
