TO MUZZLE THE OSLERS.

Two very poor men of Chicago are
working hard, and apparently without
much encouragement, to set afoot a
movement" of which the main pur-
pose is ito remove the ban put upon
wage-earners by the cruel and I'M

there is a tendency among employers
to bar from service all men past the
age of forty or forty-five. If that is
true the Anti-Age- Limit League
seems to be pretty worthy kind of

person could do worse than endow it
with good bit of money.
If, for example, some admirer Of
Doctor Osler, with the thrift that fol-
lows yawning, has arnassed fortune

ries he might fifty devote part of it
to the promotion of movement that

COMING ATTRACTIONS.


Although "The Bonnie Brier
Bush" has been frequently seen in
Salt Lake, the present engagement
shows that the play is still popular
here. There is an awakened Curl
csity to see the drama, sans Stod-
dart, sans Fax, sans Easton-sans
everything except the scenery of the
original production. The only thing
which links the Brier Bush" of to-
day with the Brier Bush of yes
tcrday is memory. This memory
tw ines about dear, old Stoddart-the
inimitable Fax and the lofty voice Of
Bob Easton scaling the high places
in Annie Laurie" But what's the
use of making comparisons? Why
compare the Lachlan Campbell OF
Mr.. Collins with that other Lachlan
Campbell now faded from the stage
forever? Why compare the "Posty"
OF Mr.. Bloomer with that other
"Posty" whose mission of delivering
letters in, Drumtochty is at an ends
And, finally, why compare Bob East
ems round and robust notes with the
attenuated sweetness of the tenor
voice now doing its vocal best in the
rugged "Loch Lomond and the ever
faithful q Annie Laurie?" Why in
deed? Mr.. Collins is doing effectual
conscientious work in the role Of the
,obdurate, hard-hearted father.
At the close of the second act,
where he drives his daughter from
home, his evident suffering from re-
morse and sadness is something very
close to ones ideal OF powerful, SYM
pathetic acting In other places, too,
Mr.. Collins strikes the notes of con-
vipcing art But running through the
actors work there is also the dis
oordant note of over acted passion
and under acted feeling. Mr.. Bloom
er's "Posty" draws much of its vir-
tue from a close imitation of the
methods Of Ruben Fax in the same
role. Not that the imitation, is me-
chanical, but rather that intelligent
imitation which seeks excellence in
following a good example. The sup
porting company is among the "also

If this cute lady fails to realize all

Somewhere in scripture-just where
l know not-there is declaration to
the effect that the first shall be last
and the last shall be first This is
the case at the Orpheum this week.
The four Rianos are last on the pro-
gam, but first in the applause of the
audience. By cleverly concealing his
land, manager Jennings plays four
aces-I mean the four Rianos-and
al the end, captures the vaudeville
Jackpot. The four Rianos appear in
whirlwind knock-about called "In
Africa" One of them is a nimble
professor with a penchant for jump
ing over tables, the other is a girl
cyclone in dresses. The other two
are monkeys-or rather men made
to look like monkeys! Lands sake!
These monkeys grin, chatter and
even climb to the chandeliers in
search of cocoa-nuts. The act ends
with in perfect acrobatic cyclone of
flying monkeys, professors, girls and
misplaced furniture. The four Ria
hos are certainly great-only there
seems like twenty of them instead of
four.

There's plenty doing at the Orph-
erm this week-at the box-office as
well as an the stage.
Just how Considine and Sullivan
can deliver such large VAT ieville

euessers guessing. Anyhow, there's
another guess coming to the Lyric
Latrons this week. There are several
head-liners on the blinded l was
about to affirm that the program is

be a gentle exaggeration.
The wooden shoe dancing of Pur-
cell and Orbin was certainly the real

songs also had the house going daffy.
And come to think of it the play
let, "Thoroughbreds," was worthy of

jokes, was careful to avoid anything
sounding like chestnut.
