1heater--1 onight witnesses the re-
production of The Red Feather" one
of DeKoven's newest operas, with
Miss Cheridah Simpson In the leading
role.
orpheum-one good Monday de-
deserves another. and the fact that the
Orpheum bill was all on hand week
ago was responsible for packed house
last night. Luckily 1t was all on hand
again and some of II was amply good
enough to repay the trouble of visit.
Fanny Rice was easily the headliner,
and she drew into the audience many
members of a former theatrical genera
ton. There was Gov. Wells, for the
sake OF the days he trod the historical
boards, ex- Manager Burton, to recall
experiences of ever so many decades
ago. and many others, Fannie herself,
Joined In the "reminiscences with a neat
curtain speech recalling the days she
came here as leading lady, when
Frank Daniels as Sport" and she as
the maid in ''The Rag Baby" set the
town talking, and when the old boys OF
the front row We're just taking their
first sweethearts TO the shows.
Miss Rice receives a warm welcome,
and proved that she can make good
with the same grace Of former
years. Her act is one with dolls. in
which her own face is the head and
front OF the doll and the figures cos
tune is changed In rapid succession.
AS good as Miss Rice is, she is not
star alone, for most of the bill is ac-
ceptable, or more than that. White

cause many good laughs. while the

Grand--An unusually large Monday
night audience greeted Mr., Theodore
Torch and company at the Grand last
evening. and those present were as
demonstratlve In their approval OF the
play and players as their numbers
must have been pleasing to the man
agement. The Silver King" has been
on the road for number OF years, and
1t bids fair to last indefinitely. 1t has
seldom, II ever, been presented in
more capable manner In Salt Lake at
popular prices. Mr.. Torch. In the role
of Wllford Denver, around whom the
whole action hinges. is admirably
fitted for the character To say that
he makes good" is to express It mild
ly. AS the Keeling, dissipated, easy
going fellow at the beginning, as the
grey-haired man who is a fugitive for
supposed crime, or as the deaf old
wage bond, who ferrets out the perpe-
traitors of the murder for which he
suffers. he gives equal satisfaction.
Miss Meta Marskey. as Nellie Denver,
the wife. was very pleasing In her role,
and shared tho honors with Mr.. Torch.
The support given was good, and II can

seen nothing better In the house for
long time.
I.yric-Although Faust" has been
played many times In Salt Lake, Il
seems TO have lost none OF It's popular
ity, judging from the attendance at
each performance OF the play now run
ming at the Lyric. As everyone knows
who has seen Faust" it requires con-
siderable stage room for the business
and the electrical effects, but Il seems
that the Lyric management has over
come tho difficulty OF lack OF space.
The effects IN the Broken scene were
very good and caused wonderment that
they could be produced on so small a
stage
Frederick Moore, as Mephisto. did
credita BILE piece OF acting. and the role
Of Marguerite was well sustained by
Miss Either. Joseph De Stefenl. as
Valentine. also came In for share OF
praise.
