Mrs. Temples Telegram" or Who's
Brown opened last night at the Salt
Lake theatre an engagement of three
nights and a matinee. The new name is
much more appropriate and last night
performance was altogether worth see
ing. Mrs. Temples Telegram" as the
play shall hereinafter be known, is a most
amusing comedy based on some altogeth-
er impossible situations. Still il is done
by people who, in the main. are so clever
that the absurdity of the yarn is lost
sight of in the laughter 1t provokes.
It may almost be said that Mrs. Tenn
pies Telegram contains hardly a dull
moment. The chief amusement purVey-

are entitled to high praise Both are
comedians of a really high grade. They
do not work hard for their laughs. They
are just naturally funny. And as rapid

Frank Fuller, is in 4 class occupied en-
tirely by himself He lies himself into
some fearful holes and then, following
the example of the brambie bush gentle
man, he lies himself out again And all
with a serene, unctuOus humOr that is de-
licious.
The company as a whole is very good
indeed. Last nights audience enjoyed the
performance immensely.
The Orpheum management has at last
been Weakened up to the fact that the first
night is worth while, and last night
fine bill with only a few weak spots was
presented to the patient patrons who go
on Mondays. Without question Made
moiselle Martha, properly named Queen
of the TrapeZe, is the best number on the
bill, and indeed the best trapeze per-
former ever seen here on any bill. Her
work is not only the cleverest but it is
the quickest kind Of trapeze work and
the most graceful In addition TO her
marvellous skill she has a form which lit
orally makes every move a picture The
closing stunt with the calcium lights was
one well worth seeing from the artistic
standpoint alone.

taste. Were the song better. the stunt
would be one of the features of the week.
The bill opens with two clever dancers
who are wise enough to limit their enter

the German sailors. are fair in their turn,
but their jokes are rather threadbare, and
rendition of the national airs to rag
time ideas was not well received by the
audience. The United States flag was
made the subject of a cheap joke by one
other on the bill, Peters the entertainer,
and In that case, too, il did not prove a
success. Even the patrons of vaudeville
don't care to see the emblem of their
country used in such a manner nor to
hear her national airs turned to such
account.
