ADJUSTMENTS

1t is not surprising that the Salt Lake
tneatre was crowded almost to its ca
pearance in this city many years age
George Primrose has built up reputa-
ton that entities him to crowded houses
lie deserves the reward that follows fair
deaflng and conscientious effort And IL
is fair to say that Mr.. Primrose never on
any previous visit to Salt Lake presented
a stronger aggregation of talent or a
| better entertainment II is true that
some of the jokes are old; 1t is true that
some of the acts have lost their flesh
ness; but it is also true that bright new
gags, songs and dances have been added
to those that have stood the wear and
tear of time.
Mr.. Primrose took occasion to saw last
evening that he felt at home in Salt
Lake, The compliment might be re-
turned by saying that Salt Lake is glad
to have him return from time to time to
drive out the blue devils and let in the
sunshine even IL it has to be done at
night He sprung a surprise on the au-
dience last evening by having introduced
his wife, who sang two numbers In a
charming way. This innovation at a min
strel show was thoroughly appreciated
The minstrel himself is just as graceful
as Of old and his repartee is just as con-
vuising- His local hits last evening were
entirely good.

Subers, although his work is along a diff

funny. In addition to the singing of these

The drill of the southern cadets was a
number that called out hearty applause.
The Trocadero quartet-Joe Birnes, Al
Pine, Sam West and Jack Sample-Was
encored till exhausted The harmony Of
the four voices and the singing so bright
that the audience seemed as though 1t
would never tire. 1t is an exceptionally
strong number. The evening ended with
the ridiculous hotel sketch given last
year.
The entertainment will be repeated at
a matinee at 2:15 this afternoon and again
this evening.
Two more than ordinarily good playlets,
a bunch of clever specialties, some pass
able kinodrome pictures and good music
make fine bill at the Orpheum this
week. a bill well worth seeing In spite
of the advent of the big minstrel show
at the Salt Lake theatre the State street
house was filled to capacity for the first
night, and although some of the acts
were a little late in showing up. they
were all on the bill and all in good FORM
Leading the whole show easily and in
deed by long length is the bright little
play, Tom and Jerry" which is billed
to sound like drink" but which really
sounds like a good time with a touch of
true feeling in it. The play is presented
by Frank MOstyn Kelly. who is by no
means forgotten by Salt Lakers since
some two years ago he spent few weeks

1t sounds like repetition TO say that the
juggling of A X. Caldere was the best
ever. but il must be owned that he has
some tricks new to the Orpheum patrons.
