THE SALT LAKE HERALD: MONDAY SEPTEMBER H. 1909
ADJUSTMENTS.

The master hand of Ned Wayburn In
stagecraft was seen in the Ceballos' act
at the Orpheum last evening. The affair
is a study in lights and shadows. with
some clever gymnastics and terpsichOrean
stunts thrown in. Many novel and strik-
ing effects are introduced The dance of
four girls in a white costume that shows
every curve is bit daring. perhaps. and
Is accumulated by the human balloon in
the gallery with mis- loud guffaw.
"A Tale of Turkey is a simple little
sketch. which sparkles with humor. AL
fred Kelley appears as a comedian of
no mean ability and Miss Mathilde Bottle
Is just the proper person for the SUPP
porting part.
The comedy acrobats. Clark Martinez
tie and Joe Sylvester. put on an act that
commands closest attention, many of the
audience being In constant fear that the
leading artist is going to break his neck
in the next fall. For rough stuff reduced
10 science this attraction has no paral-
lei.
A vaudeville bill is hardly complete these
days without hobo, a character ably pre-
scented by Harry Fentele in this week S
bill He hands out a choice line of gags,
and Eddie Carr obligingly appears as the
fall guy.
John w. World and Mlnden Kingston
produce something which is nameless on
the program and could not be described
in, the limited space available here. Mar
tin Beck keeps them on the circuit and the
we'll to let 1t go at that.
The musical Craigs contribute instru-
mental novelties which are up to the usual
standard. The Orpheum orchestra sup
plies some of the best hits on the bill. The
moving pictures are entertaining.
There was an added attraction at the
Orpheum last evening, though many of the
audience failed to realize their proximity
to Billy Papke. The quiet, sturdy chap,
in white sweater, who sat in a box at
the lower left, was none other than the
famous parsonage who made Stanley ket-
chel look as though he had been bobbing
for pennies in a plate of tomato sauce.
Herr Papke appeared to enjoy the show.
II the theatre full of people at the Grand
last night expected the sort of a presen-
tation of Camille" usually given that
famous old drama by Stock companies
pointed.
The story of Camille" unquestionably
forms one of the greatest heart stories
stageland has offered the theatregoing
public in half a century. Combined with
the heart interest of the piece is a COM
polling story of adventure, so handled that
il is easily overdone and the play made
most melodramatic and unsavory.
Camille" goes at the Grand this week
as il has seldom been played in Salt Lake.
1t is splendidly done. The company is ad-
mirably cast and Miss Heating, Ca
mile, presents one of the best emotional
characterizations of years. There is scar
cely a weak place in the cast. and the
drama has been given a staging of a
most unusual nature. Strikingly effective
is the first act OF the piece. for instance.
1t is Candles reception hall in her home.
and the scene is done in the style of a
rich Dutch room. 1t is beautifully designed
and executed and faultless in detail.
Money has evidently been freely spent in
staging the play Last nights audience
sent the curtain up four times at the end
of The first act, so effective was the scene
and the acting
Miss Keating's Camille brought
storm of applause. Her gowns are elab-
crate and stunning and the other women
in the cast are almost as deliberately
gowned. Mr.. Jossey, as Duval, carries Il
difficult role in excellent shape. His act
ing Is strenuous. quick and sure, and yet
he gives his work a dignity and express
sion that compels admiration. The play
goes through the week. with matinees on
Wednesday and Saturday.
