With all its success behind tia
durable one lasting for some years
the real bond of merit Henry Savage
will once more bring to the Salt Lake
theatre PiXley & Luder's melodiOus
comic opera, The Prince of Pilsen."
1t will be offered for a brief season of
three performances, starting Friday
evening next. Its mellif1uOus score is
too well known to discuss, and its quail
ity too popular to predict for it any
thing else save continued success. In
forming the present company Mr.. Saw
age seems to have determined upon an
entirely new cast for none, save little
Elinor DelmOre, who plays the diminu-
tive bellbOy, Jimmie, have been re-
tanned. That the new company will be
a splendid singing organization is evil
denced in the engagement of Miss Reba
Dale, for the tricky city widow; of
Miss Octavia Broske, a fine colatura
voice, for the part Of Edith, and the
light tenor, William WeadOn, for the
lieutenant, and the splendid baritone,
Edward Mora, for the Prince of Pilsen.
Here is a quartette of exceptional mer-
il. The comedy will by no means suf-
fer in the hands of such sterling come
dams as Dan Mason, the new Hans
Wagner, and George Moore as the
French concierge, Francois. Little Lii
liam Lawson, chic and Frenchy, will be
the new Sidonie-the part once played
by Jeanette BagaTd. Miss Lawson's
whirlwind dancing turn is we'll known
in the high-class vaudeville theatres.
The chorus contains many pretty girls.
notably Peggy Ballou, Ethel Gordon,
Estelle lie Burt, Lulu Carroll and the
beautiful Helen Rockefeller, and is well
up to the Savage idea in singing and
dancing quality.

robin Hood" by the Salt Lake OPP
era company, will follow the Prince
of Pilsen" at the Salt Lake theatre.
The dates have been fixed for Sept
l1-14-fOur nights and d matinee Mu-
steal people are anxious to again hear
the melodious gems of this opera, and
the Salt Lake Opera company will soon
be on trial 20 show how they can pre-
sent the popular work of DeKoven.
The only introduced number is 1.-THE
Gypsy Sweetheart" from The For
tune Teller" which will be sung by
Mr.. Ensign.
These who have been to the rehear-
sails promise delightful production by
the local people.
The standard established last week
at the Orpheum theatre is one of ad-
vanced vaudeville, and the manage
ment promises that not only will this
standard be maintained, but will be
improved upon as the season pro-
crosses. Indeed, it is said that during
this season Orpheum patrons will have
the privilege of seeing not only the
best acts on the Orpheum circuit. but
will see the best performers appearing
on any stage.
Next Monday night the fourth week
of this season will begin with a high
grade bill. AS headliners, Americas
greatest comedy acrobats. Frank Sey-
mOur and Emma Hill, will be seen in
the Mix of the Mixer" This act has
won favor all along the line and the
press notices give them unstinted
praise.
Then comes World and Kingston. the
dancing comedian and the Staging SOU
brette. This team was here last year
and the friends they made then will
give them a warm welcome. It is
claimed for Miss Kingston that she is
a soubrette with a grand opera voice.
She appears on the stage wearing q
unique costume made from ostrich
feathers collected by her during her
trip around the world. In South Afri-
ca and Australia she visited many Os-
trich farms and secured some splendid
specimens that have been carefully
sewn together on a background of
heavy silk, making striking and orig
inal effect. Together with Mr. World.
she presents a very diverting comedy
sketch in vaudeville.
The KinsOns appear in musical
oddity entitled, Going 1t Blind" Their
press notices say they produce great
sounds that do not CRATE" Theirs is a
musical turn that is very clever. one
of them playing real instruments, while
the other initiates nearly every kind of
music with his mouth and nostrils.
Next on the program is the Five
Musical Byrons, instrumentalists. This
number is said to possess much merit,
as each of the artists is a performer
of high degree.
Belleclaire Brothers. opponents of
physical culture, appear in an act that
