ADJUSTMENTS

The Harvey family of five tight wire
performers at the Orpheum this week
give a remarkably clever exhibition. The
rope skipping feat by one of the young
women is really marvelousiy skillful- 1t
is a lead act.
The exposition of the fast developing
art of colOred photography was highly in
structive and entertaining, to say moth
ing OF presenting entrancingly beautiful
pictures to the eve. 1t is the first time
this act has been shown in America
Among the photographs were a number
taken in and about Salt Lake yesterday
afternoon, which are pleasing departures
from the black and white effects here
tofore obtained by photographers. Nc
Ginnis and Clifton put on this act. 1t IS
worth seeing.
Adele and Fred Astaires. two young
sters, are exceedingly pleasing in their
singing and dancing act. Freddie is ex-
cepuOnally graceful for a juvenile, and
ms sister is no less so.
Nellie Graham does well in music, but
her partner, Fred Gray, drags out his
comedy to extreme length, and pretty
much of IT is rough stuff 1t seemed
to please the audience. however.
The Phantom Sweetheart is sketch
in which Frederick Allen and Bertha Van
Norman take the leading parts. The play
is too long, OverbUrdened with useless dia-
lOgue and becomes wearisome before the
end. The idea IS good. and with trim
ming and pruning it could be made into
a successful sketch The basis of the
piece is a modern Old Scrooge but some
of the situations are even more impos-
sible than Dickens exaggerated descrip-
ton of his hideOus character.
Andy Rice is said by the program TO be
a clever entertainer" Maybe he is.
The four negro boys who are with jean
cite Adler are good dancers.

The Great McEwen" proved by his
performance at the Grand last evening
that he is the master Of locks he claims
to be. The employees of the Rowe q
Kelly company. accepting McEwen's
challenge, carrying with it a $50 forfeit
constructed a packing case barely large
enough to contain the form OF MCEwen-
In place of nails, screws we're used, with
steel straps securely attached to the cor
ners, sides and top. Eight of the latest
pattern padlOcks secured the top when
in place. and in addition three pairs Of
handouts and d pair of leg shackles were
secured on the limbs of McEwen. The
case thus fastened was then pushed into
the cabinet and the curtains drawn. IN
exactly one minute and twelve seconds
the handouts and shackles were tossed
out on the stage and three seconds after
ward, McEwen himself appeared pushing
the open case before him. The box was
unframed and the seals of the eight locks
were unbTOkcn.
Deputy Sheriffs Sieger. Johnson. Irvine
and Morris, well as several citizens.
appeared with handouts and attempted
to secure McEwen personally, but in ev-
cry instance a few seconds sufficed for
him to free himself
The usual laughable hypnotic exhibit
tons with classes of men and women were
a portion of the entertainment and ere

entirely new entertainment is to be put on

''The Rose Of the Rancho began It's
second week at the Colonial theatre last
night. This tastefully dressed romantic
drama. with its quaint atmosphere of the
early Spanish mission days in California,
yet with the touch of the thrilling mill
tary effect which always sets the blood
tingling, seems destined to be greater
success than "The Girl of the Golden
West" presented earlier in the season at
the Colonial, and will stand the full two
weeks run.
The first week served TO round out the
presentation, and last night the action of
the play was smooth throughout. Little
more can be said of the work of Mr..
Mack and Miss Hall than what was said
last week, except perhaps that Mr.. Mack
fits a little more perfectly into the role
of keaTney, and if possible Miss Hall, as
Juanita, is even more charming in her
irresistible WitcheTy.
Three new faces were seen in last
nights cast-George Baldwin, jr.. who &C
ceptably filled the role of the padre left
vacant by the withdrawal of Fred Allen;
Lee Al.llar as Ortega and Airing Alcine
as TOmasO. These are new additions to
the Willard Mack company
The Rose of the Rancho will fill out
the week at the Colonial and the company
will return to its own home at the Bun
galOw next Sunday to present Hearts

any one play. 1t is STIRLING its second
week at that house without any appre-
ciabie falling off from any of the big

Manager Harry Revier Of the Majestic
theatre has engaged the famous Rhea
Gibson beauty chorus for this play house
commencing today. This act is one of the
better class. and il is Mr.. Revier's aim TO
book nothing but the best to be had. Con-
siderable expense has been entailed to
make of the Majestic theatre a high
class picture and vaudeville house. A
special scenic artist has been retained to
change the coy corner stage every week.
Mr. Revier has large experience in this
line of amusements. He is a Partisan by
birth and has many foreign novelties
that he intends to produce. Despite the
fact that the mana cement of this theatre
has met with some adverse criticism by
the press. its sole aim, it is announced
is to provide nothing but what will please
it's patrons.
