singer who was Helmar's mother.
Cloris discovers the plot on Rawker's
part to shut him out OF his chance to
make a public appearance, and prom
ises never TO see Helmar again if the
arrangements are permitted to go on
Rawker agrees to this and again carries
forward the arrangements for the mar
rage, but ClOrfs puts an unexpected
damper on his hopes by definitely re-
fusinS the Englishman. Curiously
enough. Lord Kildare has fallen in love
with Clara Douglass, and had hoped
that he would be refused. Rawker Is
finally shown that all his ho9es have
come to nothing, and he accepts the in

Mr.. Whiteside plays the part of Hell
mar, and in it is said to find the best
opportunities that have yet fallen to his
lot, in an artistic sense, for to all ap-
DeSrdnccS he is the violinist of artistic
aims and purposes to the life. All three
acts are laid in New York and have a
thorough metropolitan flavor. and the
interest of the production Is remarkably
strong. as it combines at once the pecu-
liar fascination of the business life and
the curiUds attraction of the musical
weird with its quaint angles. The sup
porting company has been selected with
cue care to the various parts that are
TO be portrayed. and is one of the
strongest in point of talent that Liebler
K Co. have sent out this season.

orpheum Stock Company.

Save for two members who are now
hurryfng zionwards. the entire dggre-
cation of players Roy Clements is
bringing to the OrDheum in summer
stock arrived last week, travel-stained
and happy. Prior to settling down to
active rehearsal tomorrow, they have
been INDUCING in the get-acquainted
habit. On Tuesday they will get down
to tacks on THE Cowboy and The
Lady" Clyde Fitch's play which he
wrote for Nat Goodwin and Maxine Ell
lott, which will be produced on the 9th
inst. This play will give both AL Phil
lips and Lucia Moore great Opportuni-
ties, and the word is being quietly
passed around that Salt Lake is des-
tined to encounter some surprises of
distinctly agreeable quality when the
new stock company treads the stage.
Miss Lucia Moore, the company's
leading woman, is destined to win her
way into the hearts of Salt Lake play
goers. She is handsome southern wo-
man with an eventful and interesting
stage career. She has played leads with
many of the foremost stock companies
in America, as well as with Robert
Downing, Thomas KeeRe, Walter
Whiteside. Dustin Farnun and other
notable stars. She has achieved tri-
umphs in most of the Clyde Fitch plays
and in several classic relies. Her favor
tie parts are Dorothy Vernon, Barbara
Frietchie, Viola, in Twelfth Night"

ton into Peter Pan" of number of
Mr.. Barrie's original lines. Several of
the speeches now spoken in the first act
by Miss Adams, the incident ot the
sewing machine and the pirate ship in
the fourth act, and the singing OF sally
in Our Alley by Miss Adams in the
third act are portions of the perform
ance which it has only been found pos
sible to introduce since the stage hands
have made better time in the setting of
the five acts.
The story of the play follows: Mr..
and Mrs. Darling, young couple, have
three children-Wendy, John and
Michael and a dog nurse, Mana, who
bathes and dresses the little Darling
children. Peter Pan, a boy who would
not grow up, comes in at the window,
spirits the children away to the Never
Never-Land. and introduces them to all
sorts of adventures, which child has
pictured scores of times. but which all
the grown-ups except Mr.. Barrie he.--e
forgotten. There are fairies. anG lost
boys, who live in wonderful house
under the ground-undec The leadership
of their captain, Peter Pan. There are
red indians land pirates. and all the
paraphernalia pertaining to tho~- old
familiar friends of childhood, present.
ted partly in the spirit of childlike ear
hestness and partly with touch of
pathos or of gentle humor or again of
burlesque. Back to their real home the
Darling children are waited under the
guidance of Peter Pan, after the s.rang-
est of adventures during their lay in
fairyland. The five acts, an evenings
child's dream, close with the most
touching of stage pictures-the fairy
home of Peter Pan rising of itself
among the tree tops and Peter standing
at the door waving a handkerchief to
those out in front who still believe in
fairies
1t is probable that there has never
been a theatrical entertainment of
which it may be so truly said as one
may say of Peter Pan" that the bulk
of the pleasure which the auditor de-
rives from it is entirely dependent and
commensurate with the amount of
fancy, imagination, childhood associa-
tions-which he can bring to bear upon
1t. To those who come to the theatre
with their one talent of imagination,
Peter PAN adds a tenfold of imagin-
alive pleasure. The name Dart has
proved 10 be the greatest triumph in
the stage career of Maude Adams. Its
success has been so great as to have
made it impossible to have the per-
Torrance moved from the Empire the
atre in New York all last season.

Those who write dramatic news and
criticisms for daily newspapers often
wonder whether or not press agents re-
gard them as lacking in intelligence.
Some of the matter that comes from the
agents would seem TO indicate a very
low opinion of the dramatic writer's.
For example. a story was received by
this department the other day about a
young actress of only ordinary ability
who was said to have refused an offer
of $4,000 a week to go into vaudeville
for the GUNNER season. That's really a
joke.
The woman doesn't earn over $500 a
week during the legitimate theatrical
season. The chances are that she would
jump at an offer of 5000 for q summer
engagement of ten weeks. And the
press agent wants US to believe she re-
fused a vaudeville offer of 5000 a
week. What silly, silly rot. The gross
receipts of the average vaudeville house
throughout the country are not more
than $4,000 a week. This refers. of
course, to the first-class houses. for the
others average considerably less
So the young woman OF mediocre abil-
ity would, according to the press agent
draw three-fourths of the gross re-
ceipts, leaving the One-fourth for rent
lights, house salaries, stage hands and
other expenses. and the rest of the bill
Isn't her refusal joke?

who has come TO the United States with
the idea Of gaining recognition for his

has been reduced TO playing in cheap

man, who was In her youth a famous

falls ia love with her. Clara Douglass,
the daughter of senator, has appeared

suit OF a magazine article. and she and
Miss Fielding become fast friends.
Rawker has made arrangements to

Vaudeville at Orpheum.

a hot finish is scheduled for The clos
ing of the vaudeville season at the Or
pheum this week, in the form of an at
tractive bill that should Pack the house
nightly, if there is any virtue in high
class variety
What gives promise to be a roaring
comedietta should be found in the
sketch, After the Honeymoon" which
will serve to introduce Miss Julia
Kingsley. an old-time favorite on the
big vaudeville circuits. and her clever
comedy assistant, Nelson Lewis. AS
the property man has been ordered to
secure eleven pies for the week, togeth-
er with other edibleS, it is probable that
the plot hinges around Wifie's cooking.
Hayes and Johnson will offer dis
tinctly original idea with "A Dream of
Baby Days" While they are disport-
ing themselves in the fun-naking char
acters of the Jack and gill; type, they
are ingeniOusly and simultaneously
counterparted in motion pictures. They
sing well, dance well and dress exceed
ingly we'll

pudiate all others not bearing the LABEL,
including Messrs. Brouilette, Adams,
Weber and Hayes, will regale with
song, dance and comedy. Three of
them are dressed as typical sinners,
and the fourth as a messenger boy
Their opening song, entitled "a Crap
Game" places them in/the front rank
as a quartette.
The Fredericks family, European &C
rohats, hail from Germany, and in their
own particular line are said to. be
equally as good as the sensational gym
nasts who stirred up the town last
week. They interject a little panto-
mime comedy into their work and per-
form their feats of strength attired in
orthodox street costume.
A heart interest offering comes with
the playlet. Government Bonds" as
presented by Mr.. and Mrs. Gottlob and
company. OF this feature the Denver
Republican says: TT is simple
sketch, but it is excellently conceived
for the vaudeville stage, and has the
merit of originality and lacks the stale
humor which is the bread of life to so
many vaudevillians.'
Emerson and Baldwin are a couple of
whose act is perhaps
hard to classify. They prefer to call it
a display of dexterity and dementia,
which, being interpreted, means that it
is conceived for laughing purposes only.
The motion pictures will be in line
with the rest of tie bill, and the latest
in animated scenes will be among the
novelties displayed.
