PROMISE OF THE THEATRES.
"Alice-Sit-by-the-Fire."

The story of Alice-Sit-by-t he-Fire,
which ROSelle Knott and her associates
PLAYERS will present at the Salt Lake
theatre the first half of the week, is
one of exceptional interest to mothers,
To society devOtees, to the young quite
as well as to the older members of the
home and society. In short. II is a
play that deals with the efforts of a
mother to win back the love OF her
children. from whom she has been sepa
rated for several years. Ii is a play in
which the mother upon her return to
her home. finds that the love of the
children and their attentions Is given
almost entirely to the father, while
she is regarded partially as an intrud-
er The efforts Of the mother To win
back the children to her heart, and the
foolish notions which creep into the
head of the Young daughter which
bring about ludiCrous situations. make
up dramatic story that is cleveriy
written and equally cleyerly acted. 1t
is story of heart interest which at
tracts the careful attention of society
i'm general, and deals with a condition
of things which can be found in this
CITY as well as anywhere else. !
ce-Sit-by-tbe-Fire" is literary
production of unusual merit, and COM
ing. as il does. from the Den of J. w.
BdIIle- II commands the 3IteHtiOtl OF
literateurs as well as society IN general
and the home folks. Mr.. Barrie is real
ly home author, his books being those
that appeal to the mothers and those
who make nome what it is. No woman
reads the book or sees the play but
commends the author for the exception
al thought and consideration which he
gives to all concerned.
ROSelle Knott. a woman of the home.
4 mother and d society woman, has
given much attention to the part in
the play. She has made an especial
STUDY of the character which Mr.. Bar
RE writes about, and in the portrayal
of that character gives TO it a finish
by her work that is exceptionally and
cleVerly drawn. Miss Knott has d per-
feet conception of the role, and presents
TO her audience what the critics have
been pleased to designate "a perfect
performance" Miss Knott is well sup
ported in her work by a company of
merit, including Mr.. Eric Blind, the
well known English actor, who has
been a member Of the late Sir Henry
IrviHg's company fer several seasons.

full dramatic productions the east has
known in the past three years at his
command. The famous Belasco hits,
Darling of the Gods" sweet Kitty
Bellairs" and Heart of Maryland
are among them. Two new plays will
be produced during the engagement.
These plays have been secured only
after a big expenditure for their play
ing rights by Mr.. Leighton. Arrange
ments have been made to give them
costly and elaborate mOUntings Mr..
Leighton has engaged for his leading
woman, Miss Emily Dodd. last season
leading woman with Robert Mantell in
his successful starring tour Miss Dodd
comes direct from New York. where
with the remainder of Mr.. Leighton's
company she has been rehearsinE
Friends" the inaugural play of the
engagement at the Grand. She is
known as one of the most handsome
and talented women of the New York
stage. The association of Mr.. Leigh
ton and Miss Dodd in the leading roles
of the plays to be presented during the
next few months by the Leighton play
ers will prove one of the strongest COM
binationS Of dramatic talent ever seen
here.
The friends of Edwin Milton Royle
are legion in Salt Lake, as this city
was formerly the home of that play
wright, and his friends have watched
his rise from an unknown actor 10 one
of the greatest authors of the day with
delight. Friends" is probably one of
the most successful plays Mr.. Royle
has ever written, and it was with the
idea of presenting to local playgoers
the latter's most popular work, that
Mr.. Leighton chose Friends for the
opening play of his engagement at the
Grand. Simplicity of story seems to
have been the keynote of the play
wright's endeavors when he evolved
the plot of the COmedy-dTama. and yet
on a foundation of the friendship be
tween two artists and their love for
the same woman, has built super
structure of dramatic incidents and
scenes, brilliant dialogue. unctious
humor and comely pathos that makes
Friends" an absorbingly interesting
play. Mr.. Leighton and the play
wright have been friends for over
eighteen years and the latter's play will
be presented with Mr.. Royle'S personal
approval In fact the author attended
practically all the ref1earsats Of the
production in New York and aided Mr.
Leighton in perfecting its presentation.
Great attention has been paid to stag
ing the piece. The popularity that
seems i'm store for the leighton players
is being rapidly attested by the heavy
advance sale of seats for Friends -
Members of the Commercial club as far
back as week ago secured every one
of the sixty box seats in the theatre
for tomorrow night, when several par
ties are to be given by local relatives
and friends of members of Mr.. Leigh
tons company.

American tour, and Won great triumphs
in Chicago. New Orleans, Los Angeles
and san Francisco. The organization
which Mr.. Russell has gathered to-
gether is one of interest, and includes
well-trained chorus of fifJy-five
voices. entirely new costumes and stage
settings. a ballet of twenty girls and
an excellent orchestra OF fifty New
York and Boston musicians. Among the
artists who are already known to the
Salt Lake public are Nine. Lillian Nor

Metropolitan opera company. and Alice
Nielsen, who practically made her first
American appearance in grand opera
this season. and very successfully. The
sensation of the season is the principal
tenor. Florencio Constantine. a Span
lard, secured by Mr.. Russell from the
Madrid opera house. Perello de Segu-
rola is another Spaniard in the party,
who has made a hit in bass roles. Two
young Drima donnas who are expected
to attract much attention are Fely De-
reyne, from the Grand opera house in
Nice. and TaTquinO TarDuini, a Flor

singers have won high praise from the
critics in New Orleans, Chicago and

Mr.. Leighton himself is no stranger

question by his appearance at the Salt
