though hardly the throng that had been
lokeG for, greeted Florence Roberts in
"Zira' last night. The favorite actress
has been seen so recently here in this
play. that a review IS not necessary. 1t
can be said with entire truth that her
rendition is as strong and intense as
over, and that she scored heavily with
last nights audience, many of whom
boheld her for the first time. The sup
port remained as admirable as ever,
Mr.. Bergen cllnching the hold he al
ready has on our public. and the others
in the cast repeating their former Inn
pressions, which 1T may be said, were
good on the part of some, and less good
on the part of others.
This afternoon and evening Miss
Roberts presents her latest success, the
New York comedy drama, entitled,
SHAM"
Little Chip and Mary Marble and
their big company of singers and fun
makers will appear at the Salt Lake
Theater tomorrow night in Joe Weber's
production. Dream City" which is
described as near opera" in two
puffs.
The veteran manager, Mr.. Letting
well, one of Charles Frohman's trusted
lleutenants, is here in advance of the
only Frances Wilson.
Orpheum--If suffering with the
blues, the orpheum is the place to go
to this week, il only to see Flo Irwin
with Jacques Kruger and company in
their effervescent Offering Mrs. Peck
hams Carouse." The vehicle was May
Twins success, but May Irwin could
not play 1t any better than IL was
played at the orpheum last night. Tenn
perance workers and those in other
classes, saw a bit of comedy that kept
them laughing continually from the
moment the curtain rose on this little
act until an encore was absolutely re-
fused.
The remainder of the bill, with one
exception. sup to the Orpheum stand
ard, but no more. Mr.. and Mrs. Colby
with their Offering in black art present
an unusual and attractive feature In
"Kimo." OF their art they are mas
tiers. Earl & Wilson bring with them
the only dull moment in the bill. IT
would be kinder to them to say moth
ing OF their work. Agnes Mahr with
Flora Dora danced right into the hearts
of the audience last night. Her as
sissant is also dancer of ability. The
costuming and setting of this act taken
together form picture that cannot be
Drgotten. May Boley may be sus-
pected Of epcroaching on Marie Cahill's
shop girl scene, but the encroachment
is welcome. Her songs are refreshing,
her dancing fairy-like and her shop
girl speciality, little triumph all her
own that her pretty face helped her to
win. Kara with his juggling is by
lar the best ACT Of its kind that has
been at the State street playhouse.
Jugglers sometimes become more than
tiresome, but Kara never. The Or
chestra offers two numbers that are
up to the usual standard OF excellence
and the Kinodrome completes bill
that is entertaining all the way
through barring tho number men
toned.
Grand--Of the many military plays
put upon the boards from time to time,
few are superior to "a Child OF the
Regiment" and the large audience
which witnessed that stirring drama at
the Grand last evening was of tho
opinion that few companies could rem
der 1t more admirably than the Theo-
dore Torch company. The plot Is in
tensely interesting, without being SEN
sational except In the last act where
the little fort is attacked by Indians.
The piece Is designed to give two mem
bers of the cast prominence, and this
IL does. atfording ut the same time
good opportunity for several others to
do fine work. With Mr. Lorch in the
role OF Private Tom Hadley, Miss Cecil
Fay shared honors as the Little Ma
Jor." OF all his well doing. the former
has done few things better. and the
latter surpassed all previous successes.
Miss cambridge and MIR. Rutledge arc
especially deserving of mention, and
Mr.. Pemberton was better as the old
Colonel than in anything else he has
ossayed. The announcement was
made last evening that Mr.. Loren
would remain here three weeks longer,
ana then be absent at least q year.
Iyric-One OF the little things
which go towards making the linn
musical comedies keen and clever rs
the attention paid to every bit of the
program. Wherever there Is a chance
to add novelty and charm to the bill
the necessary care IS taken. For IN
stance when school Days was being
sung last evening, the 10 young girls
constituting the chorus skipped rope"
played 'catch" and tag through the
various encorcs. When the song re-
ceiyed It's firth encore the verse ended
with hair-pulllng match between two
little girls over one little boy. all Of
which the audience enjoyed. This was
but one of the songs sung In THE Jolly
Musketeers' last evening, but all de-
serve mention. The bin moves with a
vim and fire that make tho military
color show out plainly, While on this
subject, IT might be said, "'rhe Jolly
Musketeoers' Is mass OF color: the
costumes aud scenery are all pretty
and with mirth and music galore the
Offering Is welcome one, The lower
Main street theater was filled last even
ing and " applause Is "A barometer the
week ahead for the Lyric will be fair
and bright.
