Coming Thro' the Rye" with an en-
tirely new dress of scenery, costumes
and other effects. and with the popular
comedian. Tom Waters, heading the
cast, viii be presented at the Salt
Lake theatre Monday week No more
agreeable announcement could be made
to our theatregoers, because there is no
doubt that Coming Thro' the Rye is
the most popular attraction which was
seen here for several seasons. Ger
tainly no musical show that has been
given in this city compares with ii in
the matter of public favor. And II is
not difficult to assign the rea on. 1t is
full of the sort of wholesome comedy
which compels immoderate laughter,
and it is all clean-cut and of the kind
which occasions no after regrets. The
music is bright and exceedingly tune
full, and the interpreting company
could not very we'll be more capable.
This years organization numbers sew
enty-five and the announcement is en-
phasized that all of the scenery and
costumes are new. That Coming
Thro' the Rye" will be greeted by a
large audience is assured. The ad-
vance sale of seats opens Thursday.

"The Cowboy Ranger"

With the close of the Grand Stock
company In Under Two Flags" last
night, the season Of big stock plays at
that theatre ends. and with tonight s
opening performance OF 1.-The Cowboy
Ranger" the season of melodrama
opens.
The management of the theatre has
needed the demands of the patrons of
the house for melodrama, and the Pei
ger company opens its season tonight
as mentioned above, in THE Cowboy
pen of George w. Scott, the actor-au-
thor, who heads the stock company.
THE Cowboy Ranger is a sensational
piece of stage literature dealing with
the west. Just enough love and heart
interest is mixed with a story dealing
with fighting Indians, cowboys, ranch
men, United States soldiers and Next
cans to make the whole a dramatic
treat for those loving a thoroughly ex-
citing and dramatically-told story,
with climaxes realistically brought out
and scenes wildly depicted.
The locale of "The Cowboy Ranger"
is laid in Texas, the first act opening
on a ranch in that state. The acts that
follow carry the hero, San Diego Red,
cowboy quick with his gun. hard
rider and daring to recklessness,
through a series OF the most exciting
adventures imaginable.
The climax comes in the third act,
when San Diego Red and a small COM
pany are surrounded in a StOckade
near San Antonio by Indians, who are
constantly threatening an attack Red
finally decides that unless he can Sc
cure help the little band of men will
be wiped out and, mounted on the

DEATH" and every word that falls from
this patriots lips is heard. The artistic
part of the program comes In the
australian Dances" which are not
only skilfuliy given, but are remarka-
bly, well colored. This film is actually
one of the most artistic and novel that
has ever been shown in Salt Lake.
The humor of the weeks bill is found
in a number of funny pictures which
talk and sing.
'At the Village Postoffice" is the
name of a sketch that is more than or

Vaudeville at orpheum.

A glance at the announced attrac-
lions for the Orpheum program this
week indicates that a superior bill will
prevail Singing. melody. dancing, dra-
mates. acrobatic features and comedy
work are some Of the elements 10 be
found on the bill.
Jane Melville and Evie Stetson are
the topliners. They are well known
Orpheum favorites and popular come
diennes. As singers they have an in
fmitable charm. and render topical
songs in a highly satisfactory manner.
Their impersonations and dialect BIO
ries are also cleverly done
Two real star performers Will be seen
in Mike Bernard and Blossom Seeley.
the ragtime virtuoso AMI the singing
coincidence. OF all the trick and fancy
vfrtuosos who have come over the cir
cult, Bernard is said to top them all in
finger dexterity and freak stunts. Not
only does he play the piano artistical-
iy and technically in conventional
manner with his fingers. but he else
plays that instrument with his head,
feet and arms. Miss Secley is vely
attractive soubrette. and when she
sings her darby character songs, one is
almost persuaded TO believe that she is
the real thing. AS a dancer she is
graceful and agile. Mike Bernard was
for ten seasons the pianist for the late
Tony Pastor at his historic Fourteenth
Street theatre IN New York.
Then Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Connolly
will offer their latest dramatic success,
''Sweethearts," which has had q phe-
nomenal run on two continents. These
performers are well known Salt Lake
favorites, having been seen here many
times. AT one time Mr.. Connolly was

performers. They are engaged for an
American tour to appear exclusively
In the Orpheum circuit houses. Their
