seem that they are rather Overworking
the poor old devil?
Manager Jules F. Bistes Of the Or
pheum states emphatically, despite
some rumor to the contrary which has
gained circulation during the week,
that the Salt Lake house is on the regu-
lar Orpheum circuit and all the attrac-
tons will be presented from time to
time In the State street theatre. The
only exception IS that of the Orpheum
road show, which was booked for the
season prior to the opening of the Salt
Lake house. This attraction. has al
ready been booked for next year, how
ever, together with a number of others.
The skeptic is invited to visit the office
Of the manager and inspect the bills of
every house on the circuit which adOrn
the walls. Comparison shows that Salt
Lake is getting the headliners.
The promises the theatres hold out
for the week. as told by the more or
less veraciOus agents. follow:
Alberta 6aIIatin.
Alberta GalIatin is one Of the most
ambitious actresses on the American
stage. Naturally endowed with all the
attributes Of a successful actress, beau
", grace, wit and a wonderfully great
heart, she has graced them with years
OF classic association and careful study
until there is not the slightest doubt in
the minds Of the most eminent critics
OF the country that in the very near
future she will rank among the very
small half dozen Of the truly great wo-
men Of the stage. If hard work can
SSDAAAPltSA that emu lIlCil II VIII surely
be reached, for Miss Gallatin has never
had a part she has not thrown herself
into so completely that she lived it in
stead OF acted It. And in fact her
wonderfully realistic pOrtrayals are by
words with press, critics and public the
country over. The piece in which she
is appearing this season cousin
Kate" the great Hudson theatre, New
York, opening success, is being especial
ly watched as one of the final vehicles
to carry her into the great white light
of national fame. She will appear at
the Salt Lake theatre next Tuesday and
Wednesday nights and Wednesday
matinee.
Lewis Morrison.
The elaborate quality and massive
character OF Lewis Morrisons new pro-
ductiOn OF Faust" IN which he him
self this season appears as Mephisto. Z,
attracting crowded houses and unqual-
flied praise on his tour which COM
menced in New York, embraces New
Orleans in the south, Montreal in the
north and San Francisco in the west.
So far the temperance Of this clever
star has not only drawn an unbroken
series Of crowded houses, but has re-
suited in an universally expressed eulo-
gy Of his scenery, company and bril-
liant performance Of Goethe's weird
conception OF Satan. Lewis Morrison's
5000 performances Of Mephisto during
the past twenty years have made the
name Of Morrison and MephistO synOn-
ymOus. That his performance stands
pre- eminently first is universally con-
coded, and the fact OF the immense
financial returns, crowded houses and
warm applause he is receiving nightly
are sufficient attestation Of the firm
hold he has on the public esteem and
favor. The newly written lyric and dra-
-.
light effects and scenery which please
the eye, while a vocal choir aecompa-
MED by reed and string instruments
charm the ear with the sound of music
specially composed for the new preface
which terminates with MephistO's de-
scent to earth, after vain plea to the
archangel. Michael, who is revealed in
pure white ray OF light surrounded
by his host The choral work in this
scene partakes OF the nature of an ora
torio in fits solemnity. The chc'r is in
-tsible. their voices being representa-
tive OF the heavenly host. The cloud
and light effects and the beautiful
panorama Of scenery adds largely to
the ILLUSION and makes an impressive
prelude 10 Goethes story of DR., Faus-
tus' temptation. Lewis Morrison him
self viii positively appear in the part
of Mephisto at the Salt Lake theatre on
Friday and Saturday, with Saturday
matinee.
Another Faust"
Patrons Of the Grand Will view a
new and startling scenic portrayal of
Faust" for four days, commencing to-
night, The company is said to be
thoroughly competent, and the scenic
effects are described as marvellous.
This weird and terrible Broken scene
with It's rain Of fire, snakes, owls and
lizards is awe=ihspiring, and almost
