MADAM Butterfly" has come and
gone, but has left subtle fragrance
with u.s. 1t will be some time before
many of the vast crowd which at
tended the matinee and evening per-
formances will forget the highly cul-
tivated and magnificent voices of the
singers, and matchless music of an
orchestra which was in keeping with
the sweet voiced singers who tell the
story of the unfortunate Jaranese
girl. The music of Madam Butter
fly" is suberb, the orchestra is sup
erb, the singers superb. That one
word tells the whole story. At the
two performances two distinct casts
were used. At the matinee perform.
an.e, Phoebe Strakosch, niece OF
the gifted Patti, was Madam Butter
fly and in the evening Rena Vivi-
enne sang the title role William ST
Willis was Pnkerton in the after
noon and Vernon Styles took the
part at night. Miss Houston and
Miss Behenee alternated at the two
productions as Madam Butterfy's
servant. All of these parts are diff
ficult ones, and Mr.. Savage found it
necessary to carry two casts in Or
der to relieve the singers from the
terrible strain placed upon them.
Paul Gilmore's new play, "The
Wheel of Love-" which was tried on
the people of Salt Lake on Wednes-
day and Thursday nights, abounds
in humor and slang, and was accord
ed gracious welcome. Humor is
always welcomed by the average
theatre goer. Mr.. Gilmore has had
other plays which fitted him better,
or which he fitted, however his lat
est venture is not half had, and leaves
one in pleasant mood. Mr. Gill
more has excellent support, Willard
Louis, as he cowboy, sharing honors
with the star. Miss Phyllis Young,
a former Salt Lake girl, is also a
member of the company.
That's an all round good show at
the Orpheum this week little bit
of everything ard everything of the
best and it depends upon the taste
of the auditor as to which is the
headlner. The three best numbers,
the writer believes, are the Manello
and Marnitz troup of acrobats;
Madame DesvaPs trained dogs and
Ponies; and Edwin Stevenson and

Potts a chance to catch his breath from
the strenuous exhibition. Their act is
staged in black and white, the back
ground is black, While all the bags and
apparatus are all white, so that when

perfectly stunning.
