oRPHEuM THEATRE.

John Hyams and Leila Mcintyre, mu-
steal stars, are the headliners in this
weeks Orpheum bill. They come in a
new vehicle termed THE Quakeress,'
which is highly commended by eastern
writer's as a comedy of cleverness. Miss
Mcintyre is said to be perfectly fitted
in the dainty role of the QUakeress with
stage aspirations. Mr.. Hyams appears
as an actor, to whom the Quakeress ap-
peals for assistance in securing a posi-
ton on the stage. A rehearsal natural
ly follows, which affords opportunity for
witty dialogue and clever songs.
Miss Rose Royal, "A member of IA
nous European family of animal train
ers, will appear with her trained posing
horse, Chesterfield. Chesterfield is an
Arabian, pure white, and shows almost
human intelligence in the statue effects
which he produces on the stage. In all
there are seventeen different poses
during many of which Miss Royal. is ao-
sent from the stage, the horse assum-
ing the poses without direction.
Catherine Hayes and Sabel Johnson
appear in "A Dream of Baby Days" in
which the two heavyweight comedians
make much infectious fun at their own
expense. The burlesque is broad, but it
contains comic scenes and is helped
with catchy songs.
George w. Cunningham and Herman
Marion present what they call AN = c.
TObatic Talkfest," i'm which are COM
bined acrobatic comedy, singing, dane
ing and routine of clever witticisms.
The De Sanctis quartette. headed by
SignOTa De Sanctis, who was the prima
donna of the La Scala sextette which
appeared here two years ago, is an or
ganiZatiOn recruited from stars of the
| Italian theatres. SignOTa De SanCJis,
the soprano, is from San Carlo theatre,
Naples; SignOra J. Cucca, mezzO So
pranO, is from the same theatre; q. Tu-
disco, tenor, sang in San Carlo, Naples,
and Massimo theatre, Palerm; G. Del
ChiarO, baritone. sang in La Scala, Mi
Ian, and the Royal theatre, La Pergola,
Florence. The quartette gives d pro-
gram containing selections from "Rigo-
( lettO," "Traviata," "Trovatore" and
| "Gloworm."
| Charles Barry and Huber H9lvers
/ are singing and dancing artists who are
| making their fourth tour of the C.r-

welcome before. Their act Ibis year is
! entirely new. Since making their first
| appearance in vaudeville, both were fea-
| tuTed in musical comedies, notably
| Babes in Toyland" and Wonderland

/ mer, with German fame, is making MS

"a GENTLEMAN FROM MIssIs-
SIPPI."

At the Salt Lake theatre Monday
night, Oct %, and week, with matinees
Wednesday and Saturday, William A.
Brady and Joseph r. Grismer will
make known to this community "A
Gentleman From Mississippi" the all
season success Of 190S-09 in New York,
and the twenty-five weeks hit of Chi
Cago, in both of which cities the play
was hailed as the greatest comedy OF
American life and character yet shown,
and as a play with a lesson and mes
sage for every man, woman and child
with American blood and feeling. 1t is
not to be surmised from this that "A
Gentleman From Mississippi is fiam-
boyant effort to make the eagle scream.
nor yet an exhibition of flag waving. 1t
is so far from being either Of these
things that there is hardly line of the
dialogue that is not exquisite in its
comic sense or its epigrammatic ex-
prassiveness.
"a Gentleman From Mississippi is
the work of Harrison Rhodes, Anthony
Hopes collaboration on some brilliant
works, and Thomas A. Wise, the dis
tinguished American actor. It was pro-
duced on Monday, Sept. p, 1908, in
Washington, d. c., where it won the
expressed approval of Mr.. Roosevelt
then President. who described it as a
perfectly cOrking play. Bully! A rip
pert Later, in the course Of the bril-
liant and unique New York City run
"A Gentleman From Mississippi was
acted one night before an audience that
included Mr.. Taft, who was no less
emphatic in his expression of approval
than was his predecessor.
1t is an unusual play, and calls foi
unusual acting. The past achievement.
I'm this city of the MessTs. Brady ana
Grismer are, perhaps, enough 9ssur
ance to intelligent and appreciativ,
playgoers that "a Gentleman From
Mississippi" viii be perfectly acted an
perfectly put on the stage. 1t is in fou
acts, ali of which are laid in the city o
Washington.

BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

Five years ago Marguerite sylvia,
then a popular comic opera star, left
America to spend a winter in Nice and
on the Riviera. She returned recently
as a member Of the opera company
which is to sing a preliminary season
at the Manhattan opera house and will
make her debut in Carmen" Curl
ously enough, Miss Sylvia sang Gar
men" long before she was known on
the American stage In musical comedy.
" Carmen was the first part I ever
sang on any stage" she says. Il was

A Millionaire Playwright.

The author of ''The Fourth Estate is
Joseph Medill Patterson, son of the Chi
cagO Tribune's editor and chief owner,
and an earnest socialist. Naturally, his
depletion Of life and work in daily
newspaper office is copied from the real
things as he has studied them; but al
though ne has had the expert help OF
Harriet Ford in shaping the play, am
surprised by its bold and strong orig
inaiity in dramatic effects. Up to one
minute before the final curtain, there is
no hint of what the end will be. Brand
suddenly decides to destroy the judge
professionally and himself physically
so he sends the forbidden page to the
press room, and then says calmly: i
guess that is thirty for me-" Only
here and there a person in the audience
knows that thirty" in newspaper
office means that the last copy for the
night is in, and that the final form
Of type may be hurried TO the
presses. Brands thirty" tells but
few that he is through with his work
and is going to quit life. So when he
turns off the light, and a pistol shot is
heard, the climax of suicide is a nearly
complete surprise,
Not all grim is this showing of an cpl
| sode in journalism. Fun comes out in
| spots. Two humorous characters are
| Sylvy Nolan, the owners silly young
son, who undertakes to get portrait of
| his pet show girl into papa's paper, and
| his chum, Powey, who writes verses to
| be printed with the sirens picture.
| Brand says no to them, but gives the

porter now" the editor replies; "see if
YOU can ind him" POWey's first assign
ment is a round of police stations. He
returns with a quire of paper written
| closely with poetic thoughts concerning
a woman who has committed suicide in
an evil resort. Brand gives him an of

of a house in Cherry street, killed herself
