Relying upon the comments appearing
in the theatrical columns of the San

tre-gOing public anticipates a rare
treat In the appearance of Miss Nellie
Stewart and her excellent company at
the Theatre tomorrow evening. The
play will fill a three-night engagement
at the Salt Lake theatre. Mr.. Mus
grove brought his company to a high
standard through the selection Of each
member upon his or her ability to ap-
pear in the various roles. \ finished
production has been the inevitable re-
suit. Critics pronounce the play
charming, historical in setting and
clever in dialogue. Historically and
ENTHUSIASTICALLY correct stage settings
and costumes add to the beauty of the
production. Mr.. MusgrOVe'S strict at
tentiOn TO the most minute detail in
this production was a revelation 10 the
critics. When sweet Nell plays to the
king she produces music. typical of

"A Message from Mars"

A Message from Mars" which Will

atre next Thursday, Friday and Sat

story of Horace Parker, an English
man, upon whom fortune has bestowed

of life. He has youth. health. wealth,
pleasing exterior. a charming sweet
heart. to whom he IS engaged to be
married, but he is beset by two vices
which are by no means uncommon in
the general run of mankind. He is
richly endowed with self-conceit and a
selfshness- that seems without limit

and comfort of those about him costs

Parker is at once subjected to heroic
treatment. The messenger first re-
dUces him to complete tameness by

company poverty. But the vision of a
beautiful face and the day dreams of
his leisure hours inspired him toward
the realization of both.
In the first few years of his Sensa-
tiOnal career Kubelik was often asked
in confidential moment, What do you
think of when you are playing?'
Thousands would like TO have had
the answer to this question. For one
of the most peculiar characteristics of
the ViOlinist is his platform manner.
Not exaggerated like others. not bois-
ferrous or erratic. it is typical of the
young man. With a bare glance he
comes on to the stage. With a slight
graceful bow he acknowledges the
greetings of the audience. But from
the time he begins until the minute he
goes back to his dressing room he never
seems to smile or show any conscious
ness of his surroundings.
Dreamily, he plays his most brilliant
numbers. with eyes that seem to gaze
many miles away. And, when he first
begon to be known as a marvel one of
the questions asked most frequently
was: What is he looking at. or what
is he thinking of while he is playing2
What inspires his hand and his brain %
In the course of his first tour through
the United States he answered that

are his fingers that he has the audi

Salt Lake people will be interested
in a story from Boston to the effect
that Mrs. Madge Carr Cook, mother Of
Eleanor Robson. and we'll known here.
has agreed to play Mrs. Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch under the direction of
Liebler 81 Co during the remainder Of
her natural life, or at least as long as
she remains on the stage The con-
tract provides that, in addition to a
liberal salary, Mrs. Cook is to receive
a percentage of the gross receipts. The
length of the agreement is such an I'M
usual one that it has caused much
comment among player folk. And it
shows the strong faith Liebler & CO.
have in the drawing power of Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" as por-
trayed by Mrs. Cook.
An eastern exchange points out that
the Sarah Bernhardt canvas tour in
Texas is not to be wondered at be-
cause it is a literal fulfIlment of an
ancient prophecy In Genesis we find
these lines: And they said unto him.
Where is Sarah? And he said, Be
hold, in the tent" Can you beat
that?
The veteran theatrical man. John
Mcguire, is exceedingly enthusiastic
over Nell Stewart and her production
of Sweet Nell of Old Drury'' Mr.
Mcguire saw the play several times
during its long run i'm San Francisco.
1T will be revelation to the people
here said he. Miss Stewart is a
great actress and the play is dressed
regardless Of expense and with an eye
single to perfection of detail and his
tOrical accuracy. I strongly advise all
patrons of the theatre not TO miss this
opportunity"
