Had Clyde Fitch gone over the play
with the blue pencil and reduced it
from four to three acts, the chances
are about hundred to one that the
majority OF audiences before whom
Miss Isabel Irving appears would go
home feeling much more kindly to-
ward the play. And had Miss Irv-
ing been provided with better sup
port, another big Improvement would
have been made. Not but what the
play, and the company, too is worth
while, but there is room for improve
ment in both. The Salt Lake Theatre
was crowded to the doors on Christ
mas night, the opening night of the
engagement, and despite the talk
ness" of the play, the audience was
generous with its applause. The pa
tronage since has been good, which is
an indication of the popularity of
Miss Irving, who is painstaking
actress who gets all that is possible
out of the part of Sylvia Lang, the
girl who has taken the task of prop
crly raising the children of her dead
sister, The two youngsters of the
cast are very clever performers, and
the work of Harry billiard, as the
young lawyer; the sutton for the hand
of Miss Lang, and Helena Weather

every man she meets is in love with
