Mystery, mirth and melody will pre-
dominate at the Orpheum this week.
The bill of attractions runs the gamut
from illusions to grand opera. At the
top of the program comes Herman the

the realm of magic. His mystifying
work is known and has won recognition

an exceptionally clever and entertain
ing sketch entitled, Christmas on
BlackwelTs Island" This act is said
to be a novel quartette musical turn
that has made a splendid reputation all
over the circuit. A notable grand opera
star is what the management claim
for Virginia Pierce. She is said to be
wonderfully gifted singer, with a
most magnetic personality. She comes
direct to the Orpheum from the Man
haitian Grand Opera company of New
York. where she was a great favorite.
Ralph tombstone comes heralded as
''the worlds greatest aerealist." His
act is of the Embarrassing order; full of
daring and sensational work.

the ordinary line of entertainment is
what is promised for the act of the

maintain her position, put up a good

PROMISE OF THE THEATRES.
"HappYIand."

A new comic opera character by De
Wolf Hopper is a theatrical treat prom
Used us the last half of the week at the
Salt Lake theatre, when Messrs. Shu-
bert will present an entirely new comic
opera, entitled "Happyland," written
expressly for Mr.. Hopper by Reginald
De Koven and Frederic Ranken, and
staged by r. H. Burnside. Happy
land" is in two acts, and is said to be
straight comic opera, with the usual
elabOrateness in the matter of scenery
and costumes that characteriZes all of
the recent Shubert shows. Mr.. Hoppers
new part. il seems, has been patterned
somewhat after his first and greatest
comic opera character, Wang" which,
in sprightly revival form, was one of
last seasons pleasing local successes.
AS King Ecstaticus, the tall comedian
is to rule through two lively acts much
the 81 me as Regent Wang served on
the thrOne-With humorous trials and
troubles that win him profound sympa-
thy from his people, within and with
out the royal walls. Ecstaticus hasn't
any elephant on his hands or a Pepat
to try his soul, as poor old Wang was
burdened with, but the Elysian mon
arch is even worse off-he has a daugh-
ter whom he supposed was a son, and
princess of another king as a ransom
for peace. 1t is not difficult to see in
fancy the humoF there must be in the
funny Hopper, a comic opera king
striving to untangle this sort of royal
scandal. We have no idea of the plot
beyond this matrimonial comedy detail
divulged to us by the stars agent, but
we can imagine a whole lot more mer-
riment from this one item-how Ec-
staticus fearing war every minute
must worry and wrangle with his royal
household, how he must plan and plot
only to entangle himself deeper and
deeper in his predicament, and so forth
He early sings "A Sickening Sadness
Sits on Ne" This sadness is not the
result of the CambOdians' persecut: IN
or an elephants trOuble-it is caused
by an everlasting condition OF happi-
ness that prevails in Happyland, and
Ecstaticus is no more really sad over
this or any other condition than Wang
was really sad, but Ecstaticus' bur-
lesque sadness is, no doubt. the same
quality of sorrow that makes Hoppers
ways-in-troUble regents so amusing
But of all this we shall be better fitted
for discourse after we seen and hear
the new king.
A word or two now about the prom
ised auXiliaTies to the new amusement.
OF course the scenery, costumes and
general stage effects are new and of
"a lavishness not often attempted i'm
modern comic opera, or musical COM
edy." Act l shows US the courtyard of
the Imperial palace in Elysia, and act
II depicts the Elysian fields.
