| In the play Squire Bartlett learns from
Miss Perkins that Anna Moore. who
has sought refuge with his, has passed
as mistress, but didn't wear no we'd
| ding ring" The squire verifies this in
| formation, and despite the remon-
strances of his son, who has come to
love the stranger, faces Anna Moore
with her supposed sin. After giving
way to burst of womanly Indignation,
the pent-up emotion of years, Anna
| flies into the heart of a raging storm
Benumbed with cold and unconscious
she is found hours later by David
Bartlett, who takes her to his heart
and hearth
The company to be seen in the play
differs in no. important particular from
that which has come to be identified
with it. Persons who have witnessed
the performance will remember that
every member of the cast is qualified
for his or her special role.
Why is Paul Gilmore successful?
That question is quite commonly pro-
pounded; the answer is very simple.
Mr.. Gilmore is one of those men who
strive necessarily and who bestow
much thought on the means of produc-
ing the best results. When he gets
play. he carefully studies all the char
acters in order to get right sense OF
proportion. Then he proceeds to grasp
the spirit of his own role, thus to re-
veal the finer qualities and give the
precise shading. Mr.. Gilmore has long
since established his right to head
company and is yet under thirty years
of age. He will be at the Salt Lake
Theatre next Wednesday and Thurs
day and special Thursday matinee in
1.-THE Wheel of Love- written espe-
cially for him by George V. Hobart,
humolst and dramatist of national
reputation. The supporting company
has been carefully chosen and is SUI
perbly balanced. The accessories are
entirely adequate. THE Wheen of
things, Electrically speaking, of the
current season, and Mr.. Gilmore's fol-
lowers are certain to endorse the play
and players.
Widespread interest is manifest
among theatregoers in the forthcoming
presentation here of the famous mu-
steal comedy Coming Thro' the Rye, -
which will occur. at the Salt Lake The
atre next Friday and Saturday. We
were to have had this production last
brief engagement and its success there
was so pronounced that the time was
extended to ten weeks, and it was sent
into the larger New England cities i'm
mediately thereafter. Its record all
through that section was literally phe
non1enal. Theatre managers demand
ed its return two, three and even four
times, and it is a matter of theatrical
history that upon each repeat per-
Torrance the houses were invariably
crowded to overlooking. Thus it was
that the delightful "song-play'' re-
manned in that territory until June. 1T
is said that this production. in every |
particular, is as nearly perfect as it is |
possible to achieve. The book" writ |
ten by the well known humorist, Geo. |
V. Hobart, is described as immensely |
clever, not only as to the originality of |
its story, but to the many uprOarious- |
ly funny incidents and situations that |
follow one another closely and which |
laughter. The musical score, which is !
the work of A. Baldwin Sloane, a light |
opera composer of note, is said to con-
tain more than the ordinary number
of spirited and catchy melodies, and |
the costumes and scenery are described |
as exceedingly beautiful. The present.
ing company is made up of comedians,
singers and dancers, augmented by a
vast chorus and it is said to render
wholly delightful performance. The
sale Of seats begins Wednesday.
