ELENA RIVERS"

That most absorbing of Old-fashiOned
love stories. Lena Rivers was played
last night at the Colonial to an audience
that alternately wept and Cheered over
the woes and tTiumphs of the interest
ing, if somewhat age-wOrn heroine. Her
tribulatiOns. that were the engrOssing
theme of an earlier generation, are real
indeed in the hands of the company pre-
senting the play, 1t may be said with
truth that they deserve a more up-to-
date medium. However, the genuine
flavor of oId-fashioned romance cling
ing to the well-known story has an at
Effectiveness Of its own, Also, we re-
call that the broken-backed, brown
covered volume long since relegated to
a distant shelf had in its day greater
degree of popularity than many best
sellers" now enjoy.
The play embOdies the salient points
of the story, though many well remem-
bered characters are wanting, their
great number not being we'll suited to
the stage. Emma Bunting is charming
i'm the role Of Lena, the prosecuted child.
In the prologue, though enchantingly
pretty. she is somewhat trivial and the
part is overdone. Later she shows her
self a capable actress and wins some
well merited applause. As much can
not be said of Janet LoudOn in the part
of Carrie Livingstone. She is unspeak-
ably stiff and careless. The roles of
Granny Nichols and Joel SlocUm are
played better. but the rest of the sup
port is hopeless.
1t would seem that a play of the
period. and one so we'll known as this.

LIFTS NINE MEN
FROM CUTTERS

Nine converts were the fruits of Tom
Mackey's evangelistic labOrs in Salt Lake
Yesterday. At the afternoon street meet
ing followed by chapel services at 19 Com
dressed and weak with dissipation,
walked 10 the mOurneTs bench with
streaming eyes and asked to be remem-
bered in prayer
IF the good God has not lost sight of
me IN the gutter and forgotten me utterly,
then remember me TO Him. was the
speech of one of these as he knelt, de-
livered in shaken voice.
1t was the first Sunday with Tom
Mackey in the pulpit again. He has been
absent IN Nevada for several weeks. The
afternoon meeting was rOusing one,
with nearly a hundred men and boys
gathered in the small chapel. They came
from the cutters and sidewalks of Com
mercial street
Mackey took up the text of Go We unto
all the world and preach the Gospel to
every creature and from il he told how
the Almighty forgot none OF his children
and stood ready to receive the repentant
sinner even more eagerly than the Chris
tian.
At the evening service Mackey aTraigned
the powers Of evil numerically. His
text was: Let not the wise man glory
ia his wisdom, neither let the mighty man
glory on his might; let not the rich man
glory in his riches, but let him that giOT-
ieth, glory in this, that he knoweth me,
that / am the Lord.
Mackey told Of his wild career as a
youth and his reformation IN his forteth
year He dared TO tell his audience that
the worst Of them had not been as Wild
as he had been. Following his sermon
four more converts came to the front

THE oRPHEUM.

Three years ago, when the Orpheum
circuit was not organized as well as
now, one act missed connections and
could not appear for the opening per-
Torrance. The management was per-
picked, until some one said TRY Mile
Williams. Maybe she will fill in for
tonight" And a carriage was rushed
to her home, and the little girl who
had been seen in numerous amateur
performances was bundled off to the
theatre, where she sang two or three
songs and sang them well.
That was Miss Williams first appear
ance in real vaudeville, and, as a SUBJ
stitute, she made good. Last night she
appeared on the regular bill in good
company, and, although, Of course, her
many local friends contributed their
full share in the applause, Mile Will
liams scored an unqualified success. She
is the same winsOme little girl who has
delighted Salt Lake audiences on many
occasions, and her art and voice have
improved, and she has a cleveFly cos
TUNED and well arranged act. First.
she sings 1.-THE Rosary" and then a
schoolgirl song, and then she introduces
a novelty in an airship.
No lavish use of superlatives is neces-
sary to sum up the bill as a whole. but
il is well worth while. Miss Lena Pant
ger dances and jumps the rope on a
tight rope exceedingly well, and Sam
Mint shows some clever acTobatic
stunts. The act closes with a Merry
Widow waltz that is both acrobatic and
graceful. Davey Moore and Miss POney
Moore present a wild west slit, in
which Miss Moore does some exceed
ingly clever character work, and her
partner shows a few new wrinkles in
dancing.
La Petite Revue" is the name given
to a clever musical act, in which ak
of the seven singers are seen with mini
allure bodies of manikin size, and
comedy and music both won favor.
Eleanor Gordon, in Tips on Tap"
has a clever sketch, well set and well
acted. Miss Gordon herself is eX-
tTemely attractive. and equally clever,
and she is well supported. The Five
Alvolos played xylophores rapidly, and
the William Tell overture was a marvel
of gymnastic agility. They won a clos
ing round of applause with a patriotic
medley and a display of the flag.
The WalthOur Trio ride most anything
on wheels showing all of the old bicycle

IGNORANCE EVIL
OF EVERY AGE
Rev. Simpkin Explains NeCeS-
Sity of enlightenment to
Insure Salvation.

At Phillips Congregational church the
Rev. p. A. Smpkin spoke yesterday upon
the sacrificial spirit of love. The text
was the taunt Of the priests as Christ
hung upon the cross. He saved Others
himself he cannot save"
1T was" said the Rev. Simpkin, but
the age-blindness, the common ignorance
which is the mother of an unnumbered
host OF personal failure, of social wrongs,
Of age-long iniquities. For they had not
vet come to sense the truth that only
in self-death. in the effacement Of the
ambitions that are self-centeTed, does
progress, uplift and development become
possible.
1T is a concept almost too wonderful
to be swept into the angle Of even our
widest vision-the truth back of this law
that God, Himself, is bound by it. Ia
some fashion we but dimly discern God
must needs give Himself in the Christ
to save men to Himself.
No SNUG system of thought is going
to save the world or bring IN the King
dom of the Christ. The folly Of imag-
lining that the loVe-prOpaganda of the
NaZarene is to be fulfilled by aught less
than the expression of a sacTificial serv-
ice in which self is effaced, is child
ish.
THE age need is still the life of God,
and that need can be met only by the
souls which have found the love that
cannot save itself. Calvary is linked in
the golden chain of this truth to holy
motherhood to beautiful deeds of IN
selfish service that have lighted the age.
John Brown SAID TO the little company
at the ferry in that act which seemed
a supreme folly:
Blood has always been the price Of
liberty and advance
He but copied in lesser line the truth
the Jewish priest failed to discern.
And looking from the cross that spoke
the truth to the regnant Christ that Is
to be, we can alone fill the space be-
tween by a life that fOrgets itself and
saves others in the surrender"

1.-THE OTHER GIRL"

Had it not been for the inexcusably
/ long waits between acts and an OCCa-
sional juggling with the lines on the
part of some of the actors, the perform
ance of The other Girl by the Willard
Mack stock company at the Grand thea
tire last night would rank well to the
fore in the list of plays put on by this
popular stock organization. All in all
considering that it was first night
performance and that the waits were
the fault of the stage force, the produce
ton was good.
Augustus Thomas, the well known
playwright, must have been i'm happy
vein when he wrote this delightful
comedy, for the lines fairly scintiIate
with wit and lively humor and the stu
atoms are laughter-pTOducing through
out. A vein of seriousness runs through
the play and the plot has logical Sc
quence sufficient TO hold the attention
Of the audience.
Mr., Mack showed good judgment in
casting the parts for the members of
the company seem to be especially
adapted for the roles assigned to them
As Rev. Clifton Bradford, the fighting
parsOn, who takes up the manly art
because he believes the physical self
should be cultivated as we'll as the
spiritual, James Rennie gave a good
characterization. In the part of Kid
Carney, hampton middleweight pugil-
list of A -osic3, Mr.. Mack demonstrated
the versatility of the capable all-round
stock actor He showed in the part the
characteristics of the professional
fighter, and yet did not overdo it, as is
often done. One of the cleverest bits
of acting I'm the whole play was that
of Elmer Booth, as Reggie Lumley, who.
after being run over by an automobile
describes his hospital experience in a
patheuCally humorous way. Others who
acquitted themselves well in their parts
were Airing Alcine, Frederick Allen.
Harry Blanchard, Bessie Dainty. Irene

Blanche Douglas. A little attention To
the correct pronunciation Of words
would assist materially in a better pro-

"oUo VADIs."

The Arlington stock company began
a weeks engagement at the Bungalow
last night in Quo Vadis," a drama of
the days of Nero. which has run the
gamut Of u decade and still holds its
commanding position as one of the fore
most dramas on the American stage.
Headed by John Ince and Miss Bertha
Creighton, the company presents a
strong front, and the rendition of the
drama was even better than could have
been expected on so small stage. VIII
liam Belfort, as Petronius, takes a posi-
ton as strong as that of Mr.. Ince and
shows himself to be an actor of true
merit. His difficult role is well acted,
and brought forth round after round OF
applause during some of the most stri-
dent scenes of the play. Harold Ken
nedy, as Nero, did more than creditably,
and has added many more to his list
of friends.
The acting throughout was of a high
character for a stock organization, and
speaks well for the plays to come from
the Arlington company. There was not
the crowd last night which the playing
meTited, and it is probable that the seats
will be better filled during the re-
mainder of the week. There are, of
course, a few ragged spots in the act
| ing, but the first nighters were more
than pleased with the general work
And it is certain that these ragged ends
will be smOothed down in the next per-
Torrance or two.
There are six acts to the play as given
by the Arlington players. lasting for
more than three hours and a half. But
it is difficult TO see where the play
could be cut down appreciably. The
scenes are complete. in spite of the size
of the stage, this feature working
against the actors on most occasions.
Harold Kennedy's voice Out-Neroes
Nero in mis- singing of two self-cOn-
structed odes and his masterful work
in one or two of the scenes brought
/ round after round of applause.
On the whole, the play is well acted
and merits good attendance from thea
TRIGGERS during the week.
