TRUTH

Phillips is a matinee idol of the
Keith Houses of three years stand
ing and is said to be as good an actor
as he is good looking. Joe O'Meara
and Joe Green are claimed to be
among the best stock actors in the
country the former for two years
leading man with the Memphis stock
company and recently leading man
with Nance O'Neill in her seven hea-
Wy productions. The latter who is
over six feet and two two inches in
height played Candy in Arizona for
two seasons with La Shelle. Roy
Clements is an experienced young
actor who has lots of admirers in
this city The others are ]. w. Ben
nett, David Miles, from Proctor's
New York, Gus Mortimer, Zelby
Roach and Luke Cosgrove.
All kinds of leading ladies wanted
to sign for Salt Lake but Messrs
Garrett and Clements were not con-
tent until they landed Lucia Moore,
a beautiful and talented woman who
for the past six years has headed
some of the leading stock companies
of the East Anita Hendrie is an
other clever woman who has been
signed. She arrived here on Thurs
day from Cincinnati where she has
been feature at Forepaugh's theatre
in stock. Belle Theodore, originator
of the leading part in The Village
Postmaster, is another who has a big
reputation. The other two women Sc.
cured are Priscilla Knowles and Ma
bel Florenc, they need no foreword.
Not all the people will appear ev-
cry week, because all plays provide
for IA good parts. The public accord
ingly can rest assured that when
Stage Director David Miles has a
big cast he will not go out into the
highways and by-ways searching for
talent as was the case last year when
the meteoric "P. G." was at the
helm. incidentally the new company
is away ahead of the Orpheum stock
company of last summer.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

Salt Lake Theatre Wednesda
and Thursday, May 18th and 10th
Lew Dockstader's minstrels; Friday
and Saturday, Otis Skinner.
The play, "Du Barry" in which
Mrs. Leslie Carter and her very cap
able company of players held the
boards in the Salt Lake Theatre the
first three nights of this week is not
exactly a Sunday School creation.
1t is not the kind of literature calcu-
lated to inspire high ideals or to
make people cling tenaciously to the
path of virtue. 1t has moral, OF
course, but in reaching the moral one
has to dive pretty deeply into a
swill barrel The play deals with the
corrupt court (probably the most
corrupt court in the world at any
time) of Louis XIV of France The
characters from the King down are
mostly dakish men and dssolute wo-
men. The atmosphere is highly faint
ed. The play however is strong, af-
fording plenty of opportunities for
the portrayal of human emotions, and
brings out some good points even in
the most dissolute specimens of men
and women.
Mrs. LeslieCarter is a great &C
tress; such an one as truly holds the
mirror up to nature Her role in
Du Barry" is a difficult one, re-
curing the portrayal of many phases
of the character of the woman about
whom the play and plot centers.
Physically Mrs. Carter is not exactly
the person one would choose for the
role, but she enters so thoroughly
into the feelings and moods of the
woman of passion, of fortune, and of
misfortune, that her physical incon-
gruity for the part is lost sight Of
and she acts like a reality instead of
play. Her support is uniformly
good-very good. The piece is
staged passing we'll and barring the
morale OF the play it is superb
production.
Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage
Patch" as on former occasions in
Salt Lake City, proved very popular.
The house at each performance was
crowded and the audiences thorough
ly enjoyed the human interest of the
play with the plebean name. 1t is a
good healthful play, portraying the
everyday life of simple people who
lead pure lives 1t contains plenty of
fun and humor, which appealed to the
audiences. There is something genu-
inc, simple and good in the piece,
and true to life.
The reception accorded Viva Og-
den. in the role of Mis- Hazy, was no

decessor, Helen Lowell, who origin
ated the role. Miss Ogden reveals
new possibilities in the role of the
homely spinster, who was "sicked on"
to matrimony by Mrs. Wigs.
This week at the Orpheum was
record breaker, both in point of at
tendance and excellence of perform
ance. Edwin Stevens and Tina Mar
shall as wholesome fun makers have
few equals. They certainly found
the way to the hearts of Salt Lake
City theatre goers. Charley Case.
"the man with the piece of string"
has fund of stories and songs, a
good many of them new.
Werden & Gladdish, the origina-
tors of the illustrated song idea, have
a new departure,-ballads, with Semi
oil paintings"
The Countess Olga Rossi and Mons
Paulo, in the sketch During the Per-
formance," are interesting and enjoy
able. Mons. Paulo makes his en-
trance from one of the stage boxes,
much to the amusement of the audi
ence. Countless Rossi has clear
sweet soprano voice. She gives a
clever imitation of Anna Held.
The Three La Baze Brothers are
among the best opponents of the an
cient art of Glowing. They present
one of those knockabout absurdties
which are the surest provocations of
healthy laughter.
Edwin George is a comedy juggler
who INDUCES in divers tricks which
make the audience both laugh and
applaud.
The Lyric as usual gave vaude-
vile performances worth many times
the price charged for admittance.
The harmonious trio Seamon, Chatt-
man & Rogers, made big hit. Sam
and Ida Kelly in humorous comedy,
and the Irish comedian, Eddie Dolan
were prime favorites. The music
ians, Nudge & Morton, and the aero
bats, Kelly & Reno, added to the
general hilarity. Leon lie CHARTERS,
the baritone, has sung himself into
the good graces of Salt Lakers and
is always received with enthusiasm.
The opening of the Orpheum for
the summer stock season on the 27th
is already being anticipated with
pleasure. The announcement made
this week of the personnel of the
company has had the effect of max
ing the amusement clientele sit up
and rub their eyes. Now comes the
word that the opening production
will be The Cowboy and The Lady,
Clyde Fitch's play which he wrote
for Nat Goodwin and Maxine Eli
oft. Half of the company arrived this
week and the leads are due in by
Thursday. Speaking of leads the
new company will have four leading

Shortly after Benny, among his
other assertions, had charged that
the court had paid in the past ten
years, "S5O0O or $4,000 for tax
books that had never been made"
he sneaked into the room where
the court was in session and put
in an unbidden bid at 4S cents on
the dollar. Judge Buford told
, him, "you have abused me and
falsely charged me with being
corrupt, and you can have no
printing with my consent" Benny
/, said, "Maybe you did not read my
articles correctly" Judge Buford
| asked, "How am l to read that
